FOMO kills traders. You know it, I know it.

And the worst part? You can KNOW it — and still fall for it.

Here’s why it happens:

Your brain needs certainty. Markets don’t give you any.

When you’re watching price move without you, that primitive part of your brain kicks in:

“You’re missing out. You need to act. You’ll regret it if you don’t.”

But here’s the truth: when you feel FOMO, it’s not because you’re missing trades — it’s because you want to CONTROL outcomes.

You want to force a win. You want to feel in control of the market.

That’s a dangerous place to trade from.

I’ve seen it blow up countless traders — including myself, back when I was learning.

❌ You chase an entry you KNOW isn’t in your plan.

❌ You size too big because you’re trying to “catch up.”

❌ You hold past your exit because you “know it’s gonna run.”

FOMO doesn’t just lose trades — it destroys discipline. And without discipline, your edge means nothing.

So how do you kill it?

Here’s what I do — and what I teach inside the Academy:

→ Write down your edge in clear, simple terms. This is your permission slip to enter a trade. If the edge isn’t present, you do nothing.

→ Only trade when the edge is present. Not when it “feels good.” Not when others are hyping a move. Stick to YOUR edge

→ Walk away otherwise. This is critical. If you stare at charts when you shouldn’t be trading, FOMO will build until it forces your hand. Walk. Away.

Simple? Yes. Easy? No.

But if you can do this consistently...

✅ FOMO dies — and profits start coming.

Most traders will never master this. That’s why they stay stuck.

You’ve got a choice: chase every move and stay frustrated… or follow your edge and trade like a pro.

Up to you.
