#TradingPsychology

Over time, I’ve realized the true edge in trading isn’t just technical or fundamental—it’s psychological resilience. During periods of high volatility, I mitigate fear, greed, and FOMO through structured routines: pre-market preparation, scenario planning, and automated alerts that reduce impulse-driven actions.

To counter cognitive biases:

• I use a trading journal and tag trades with emotions and biases (e.g., overconfidence, loss aversion). This helps me detect recurring patterns and self-correct.

• I reframe losses as data points for improving probability-based decisions rather than emotional setbacks.

• I embrace probabilistic thinking and detach from single trade outcomes, focusing instead on long-term expectancy.

Discipline is systematized: I follow mechanical entry/exit criteria, backtested rules, and avoid “gut feeling” trades. Post-trade reflection is key—I review metrics like R-multiples and adherence to plan, not just PnL.

Markets test your mindset more than your strategy. Mastering yourself is the first step to mastering the market.
