#FOMO and chasing
A fast move can create urgency before there is a clear reason to participate.
Fear of missing out often appears after a fast move, when the perceived opportunity feels more urgent than the original plan. Chasing can worsen entry quality and force a trader to use an invalidation that no longer matches the setup.
A practical response is to define acceptable entry conditions in advance and allow a trade to go without participation when those conditions are gone.
Imagine price moves away while a planned condition is absent. Chasing replaces the original decision criteria with the feeling of being left behind.
Describe the signal that would tell you urgency is replacing your plan. Write a pause rule for that situation.
