Trading Psychology & Emotional Control

The Three Emotions That Kill Accounts

Revenge Trading — After a loss, you immediately re-enter to "make it back." This leads to larger, less rational positions and almost always results in bigger losses.
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) — Chasing a pump without analysis, entering at the top because you can't stand watching others profit. Usually results in buying local tops.
Loss Aversion — Holding losing positions longer than you should because you can't accept being wrong. Hoping a position will reverse is how small losses become liquidations.

Set rules before trading — Define max loss per trade, max daily loss, and max leverage before you start.
Use a trading journal — Write down why you entered each trade. Review weekly.
Take breaks after losses — Step away for at least 30 minutes after a losing trade.
Automate exits — Set stop-losses and take-profits at entry time, not after.
