SUBJECTIVE TIME COMPRESSION BIAS
⏰ PSYCHOLOGY #20: TIME COMPRESSION - WHEN GAINS AND LOSSES DISTORT TIME
Your brain changes the perception of time based on P&L.
🕐 What it is:
Gains and losses alter how you FEEL the passage of time. It’s not psychological - it’s neurobiological.
🔥 How it works:
After quick gains → the brain BELIEVES that pace is normal
Time "shortens" subjectively
Trades that take a long time start to seem WRONG just because they aren’t immediate
You exit correct winners because "it’s taking too long"
💥 In losses:
Time "freezes"
Every minute in the red feels like an eternity
You close at the worst moment just to "make time go back to normal"
📉 Practical effect:
Premature exits from correct trades and impulsive entries into weak setups to "speed up" psychological time.
Your brain does not measure time objectively when money is involved.$BNB $SOL $BTC
