Trading is not only about profits — it's about mastering your own psychology. This week, I experienced a situation where I entered a winning trade but closed it early due to fear. The setup was perfect, my entry was strong, and price was moving in my favor. But as soon as I saw minor pullbacks, I panicked and exited, only to watch the price hit my original target later. This wasn’t a technical loss — it was a mental one. I realized that trusting your setup is crucial. Trading plans are made to be followed, not doubted. Since then, I’ve started journaling my emotions along with my trades. Writing down what I felt during the trade has helped me identify mental patterns that hold me back. Emotions like fear and greed can destroy perfect trades. The more I understand my psychology, the more consistent I become. Trading is a game of discipline, not just strategy. Winning the mental game is half the battle.
