Plans are made when the market is calm; execution happens while real money is moving. This difference in conditions is the source of the problem.
The three most damaging emotions
- Fear of losing → closing positions too early, or not daring to enter even though the setup is valid.
- Greed → constantly moving the target, adding lots for no reason.
- Revenge → jumping straight back in after a loss to "win back" the money.
Awareness is the first step. Name the emotion that shows up when you are about to break your plan — often that alone is enough to delay one wrong click.
