๐ In the trading world, loss is not always measured in numbers.
๐ Sometimes we lose a decision, betray our patience, or sell out of fear, not logic.
๐ About that feeling when you wait too long, then sell under pressure, and then see the currency/stock rise
๐ And discover that regret is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of wisdom for everyone who sold early or waited too long!!
๐ Boredom and loss of patience
- Long periods of inactivity in price create feelings of frustration
- The brain prefers quick rewards and starts to consider the 'missed opportunity' worse than a loss
- This drives you to act just to feel like you are 'doing something', even if the decision is not rational
๐ The impact of rumors and the environment
- Negative news or others' opinions plant doubt in your original decision.
- The mind tends to amplify new information, even if inaccurate, while downplaying your previous analysis.
- This is called recency bias.
And this makes you move from one currency to another
Fear of loss or missed profit
- When you see the price not moving, you start to think: 'What if it collapses?'
- Or: 'What if it rises and I didn't benefit?' This fear drives you to sell before reaching
To the goal.
๐ Lack of a written plan or self-discipline
- Without a clear written plan, the decision becomes emotional.
- A successful trader predefines: entry price, exit price, waiting duration
The expected, and the risk percentage.
๐ก The stage of regret.. a stage ๐ if you do not handle it appropriately.
It will result in many negative effects that make you repeat the mistake or blame yourself for failure.
โจ๏ธ Remember: You are doing what you do for your goals and dreams, and if you don't learn well on paper first, you will regret it more.
Always write before you start.
