Financial Market (Forex)

Notes on the mindset, emotions and biases that most often make traders lose money — written from my own trading journal, not from a textbook.

Trading psychology is how we think, feel and make decisions when money is on the line. Technical analysis can be learnt in a matter of weeks, but what separates traders who survive from those who blow their accounts is usually not the strategy. It is the discipline to follow that strategy when the market moves against their position.

In this category I write about what I have experienced myself as an XAUUSD analyst and trader: FOMO when price has already taken off, panic when a position is in floating loss, and the urge to revenge trade after a loss. Each article tackles one problem, its psychological cause and the practical method I use to deal with it.
