Here, professional trader Brenda Skorobinski reveals one of the most dangerous reasons why the vast majority of traders fail in the financial markets: falling into the trap of crowd trading, also known as "herd thinking." This psychological trap leads you to make bad decisions simply because others are making them, preventing you from seeing the true picture behind market movements.
Skorobinski explains from his personal experience how, in his early days, he followed trending headlines and trader posts without in-depth analysis or a clear plan, which led to significant losses. Over time, however, he realized that true success in trading can only be achieved by moving away from group behavior and focusing on systematic learning, individual analysis based on logic, and an understanding of the movement of intelligent capital in the market.
We focus on the fundamental difference between an emotional trader who reacts to headlines and waves of excitement or fear, and a professional trader who waits for the right moment based on careful analysis of supply and demand zones, economic news, and the behavior of financial institutions.
Skorobinski also explains how social media and viral content have amplified the influence of groupthink, with traders making decisions in seconds, unaware that smart capital doesn't operate this way, but rather quietly observes and exploits individual impulses to achieve calculated gains.
He also discusses the importance of self-analysis in developing trading skills, recommending writing down notes after each trade and reviewing the reasons behind your decision so you can identify and correct your emotional patterns. The difference between an average trader and a professional is the ability to control oneself and maintain discipline under pressure.
