You’re not Trading Against the Market. You’re Trading Against Yourself.

The Psychology of Trading

You’ve done the research. You’ve set your strategy. But in the moment, you panic. Or overestimate. Or overtrade. Sound familiar?

Emotional trading is one of the biggest risk factors in crypto.

The volatility, the speed, the hype — all of it triggers impulsive behavior.
Emotions like:

Fear of missing out (FOMO)
Revenge trading after a loss
Overconfidence after a win

Trade the Plan – Not the Feeling

To avoid emotional traps:

Predefine entry and exit points
Use limit and stop-loss orders
Keep a trading journal
Limit your screen time and alerts

Develop systems that replace emotion with structure.
And remember: missing a pump is better than chasing a dump.

The most dangerous trader in the room is the one ruled by feelings.
Know your mindset before you know the market.
