psycotrading

Entering the market is entering a space where nothing is guaranteed and although this is said frequently, it is rarely truly understood at an internal level. Trading does not only test your analysis, it also exposes your relationship with uncertainty ☝🏻Every candle that goes up or down activates questions like What if I enter now? What if I exit too early? What if I am wrong again? The market amplifies those emotions and you know what? Uncertainty is not the problem, the reaction is. From a psychological point of view, the human brain is designed to seek control and when it cannot find it, it goes into alert mode and in trading, that alert usually manifests as Anxiety when seeing sharp movements, Impulsivity to not miss the opportunity, Fear of closing at a loss, The constant need to confirm that I am doing well. The problem is not feeling uncertainty, it is operating from it. When emotion takes control, the decision stops being strategic and becomes reactive…which means…losing your money you already know :(
