It took me way too long to realize that trading isn’t just charts, patterns, and strategies - it’s mental warfare. The real challenge? Controlling my emotions.
There were times I’d revenge trade after a loss, or FOMO into pumps without thinking. And don’t even get me started on the anxiety of watching a red candle hit my stop-loss.
But once I started working on my trading psychology, everything changed. I started journaling my trades, walking away after bad sessions, and sticking to my plan no matter what.
Truth is, your mindset is either your biggest weapon or your biggest weakness. Fix the psychology, and the profits follow.
