You can have the best trading strategy in the world, but if your psychology is broken, you'll still blow your account.
Here's the brutal truth: most traders don't lose because their strategy is bad. They lose because they can't handle the emotional rollercoaster that comes with trading.
The real killers:
Fear of missing out (FOMO) – Jumping into trades because everyone else is winning, not because your setup is there.
Revenge trading – Taking another trade immediately after a loss to "get your money back." This is how small losses become catastrophic ones.
Overleveraging – Using too much size because you're impatient. One bad trade and you're done.
No risk management – Trading without proper stop losses or position sizing is like driving blindfolded.
The market doesn't care about your feelings. It doesn't owe you wins. Until you master discipline, patience, and emotional control, even a winning strategy will fail in your hands.
Bottom line:
Fix your mindset before you obsess over indicators. Psychology is the foundation. Strategy is just the tool you build on top of it.
