4 Psychological Traps to Eradicate
- **FOMO (Fear of Missing Out):** Jumping into a candle that has already extended 50 pips because you fear missing the move.
- **Revenge Trading:** Increasing lot sizes immediately after a loss to "win back" your money from the market.
- **Gambler’s Fallacy:** Believing that after 4 consecutive red candles, a green candle is guaranteed.
- **Outcome Bias:** Judging a trade by whether it made money rather than whether you followed your predetermined strategy.
