Emotions are the biggest enemy in trading! After reviewing my recent trading periods with significant losses, it basically boils down to being driven by emotions. What started as a very simple market scenario turned into a situation where I was listening to news, following certain influencers, and then nervously staring at the screen, getting scared into inaction by a few candlesticks; whereas during profitable times, I typically made money one trade at a time, understanding the reasons for opening a position and setting appropriate stop-losses, then letting the candlesticks move on their own after placing the trades.
