The lie: I’m close to the big win – the illusion of being close
Trading psychology
The lie: I’m close to the big win
The illusion of being close – Near Miss Effect
The lie:
The false feeling that you’re about to win big... so you keep trading despite the risk
"I was just one point away from winning!"
Why does it happen? – Causes
> • Your brain confuses being close with success
> • Adrenaline fuels false hope
> • Fear of missing out (FOMO) drives you
The impact – Consequences
• Impulsive decisions and repeated losses
• False confidence leads to risk-taking addiction
• Ignoring risk management
How can you overcome it? – 4 practical steps
1- Identify the emotional trigger: Notice when you feel "close" and write down why
2- Set an exit plan in advance: Set your stop-loss and take-profit levels before entering
3- Review the data, not your emotions: Analyze the chart and the rules, not your gut feeling
4- Reduce your position size and stick to your stop: Make your trade smaller and follow your risk plan
