Trading mindset: FOMO and revenge
Most losses come not from the wrong chart but from the wrong mood.
FOMO
The fear of missing out. Chasing a stock that has already shot up often means buying near the top.
Revenge trading
Jumping into a bigger trade right after a loss to "win it back". It usually makes the loss bigger.
Write a plan
Before a trade, write why you're buying, where the stop-loss is and where the target is. Follow the plan, not the mood.
