Trading is often discussed in terms of numbers, percentages, and screenshots. Red and green candles, returns, 'entries' and 'exits'. But almost no one talks about what happens on the other side of the charts — inside the person who presses the 'buy' or 'sell' button every day.
Trading seems like a rational activity. Cold calculation, strategy, risk management. But in reality, it is one of the most psychologically exposing forms of activity. The market does not just test knowledge — it reveals character. It brings to the surface fear, greed, impatience, pride, and vulnerability in a way that ordinary life rarely does.

It didn't blow up, not suddenly. I myself, step by step, did everything to make it happen. And this feeling... is heavy. It's not anger, not rage, but a deep understanding that the reason lies within me.
You look at the chart, thinking: "I know where it will go, I've calculated everything." But instead of calmly waiting, you start to act. A larger shoulder (60x), attempts to "catch the movement", small entries, then averaging, then stops are removed... and in the end, the money goes away. Slowly but surely. It seems that the market is unfair. But in reality, the market is neutral. It simply takes from those who cannot wait, who cannot control themselves. In the end, it took from me once again.
