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.
