Once upon a time, every time the market dumped, my heart raced wildly, and my hands trembled, not daring to press the cut-loss button. After losing, I would FOMO double to recover, and then... it would all burn out.
Now it's different.
I learned to write a trading plan before entering a trade: where to enter, where to set the SL, where to take profits. And I just stick to that, without overthinking.
I also set a daily loss limit. If I hit that threshold, I turn off the computer and go have coffee. No "recovering", no "gambling".
Trading psychology isn’t something that can be mastered overnight. But if you don’t practice, you will be led by emotions – and sooner or later, you will pay the price.
