Emotions move markets — and traders
After Module 10 you understand workflow. Now we address psychology — the main reason skilled traders still fail. Markets cycle between fear and greed; traders mirror this internally.
- Greed — oversized positions, chasing, ignoring stops after wins.
- Fear — closing winners early, hesitating on valid setups, avoiding entries after losses.
Your trading plan (Module 5) is the anchor when emotions rise. If you cannot follow the plan, step away — that is a professional decision.
