😵 Emotional Trading
😰💸What is Emotional Trading?
- Emotional trading is a trading style where the trader is influenced by their emotions rather than following a logical plan or objective analysis.
* Fear:
You see the market dropping, so you sell quickly out of fear of loss… but then the price rebounds.
* Greed:
You make a 30% profit on a trade and hope for more… then things turn and you lose everything.
* Regret:
You didn’t enter a successful trade, so you chase the next opportunity recklessly just to compensate for the feeling of loss.
* Hope:
You hold onto a losing asset, wishing it returns to its old price 🕯️.
Why is it dangerous?
- It destroys the trading plan.
- It leads you to buy at peaks and sell at troughs.
- It causes repeated losses without logical reason.
- It makes you react instead of think thoughtfully.
