The Real Reason You’re Losing Trades
Your psychology is your worst enemy.
Let’s expose the silent mental traps draining your account.
1
Confirmation Bias
❌ You only see what you want to see
– Ignore red flags
– Only notice bullish signs
✅ Fix: Ask “What would prove me WRONG?”
2
Revenge Trading
Lost a trade? Now you’re forcing setups.
You’re trading emotion, not logic.
✅ Fix: Walk away after a loss. Reset your brain.
3
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
Chasing breakouts too late = top buying.
✅ Fix: Stick to your entry plan. Not the hype.
4
Overconfidence After a Win
One win doesn’t make you invincible.
Next trade = oversized risk = big fall.
✅ Fix: Treat each trade like it’s your first.
5
Loss Aversion
Won’t close a bad trade because you “hope” it recovers.
✅ Fix: Use hard stop-losses. Hope isn’t a strategy.
