Trading is 80% psychology. Emotions such as fear, greed, and impatience lead to poor decisions.

Common Psychological Traps:

  • Revenge Trading: Trying to win back losses by increasing risk.
  • Overtrading: Trading excessively without solid setups.
  • FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Chasing trades too late.

Best Practices:

  • Create and follow a trading plan.
  • Accept losses as part of the process.
  • Maintain a trading journal to track behavior.
  • Use meditation, exercise, or routines to control stress.

Mental discipline is what separates consistent traders from amateurs.
