Trading has taught me that emotion is one of the biggest enemies of a trader. In one of my most recent trades, I saw a setup forming on Bitcoin. Everything aligned technically — indicators, support zone, volume. But I hesitated. I had just exited a losing trade, and fear was holding me back. I waited, overanalyzed, and by the time I convinced myself to enter, the move was already halfway done. I still entered but ended up taking a smaller profit than I could have. This trade reminded me that technical analysis is only half the battle. The real challenge is mastering our emotions. Confidence, fear, greed — these things cloud judgment if not managed properly. Since then, I’ve started journaling my trades and noting my emotional state during each. It’s helping me grow as a disciplined trader.
