Abstract:Life is all about timing. So goes with trading. In trading, you need to be aware of the best and the worst time to trade. And this is why you should never trade in said time. We all have those winning moments – from the smallest ones to the biggest ones. We all like the feeling it provides, right? It’s a high time for us, and we happily invite delusions to our mind. As a result, our sense of reality gets distorted. We tend to bloat things up and disengage from reality and create our own.
In trading, your winning moments can ironically work against you. You tend to generate false confidence within you that often leads to delusional decisions.
To make things clear, losing trades cannot be avoided. But what we want to emphasize here are the losses that you can actually avoid – losses that come from emotions. These things happen right inside of you which you are not aware of.
It might sound a little ironic to know that after winning can be the most dangerous time to trade. But this fact is backed by a scientific basis that we need to understand.
There‘s a high feeling after winning a trade. It just feels good. Dopamine releases good chemicals in your brain when something happens that makes you happy. It’s a natural occurrence, but what makes it dangerous is when you become addicted to that feeling.
When you crave for more feel-good feelings, you tend to push yourself to disastrous trading decisions. This craving manifests when you, after winning, are more likely to over trade. You are more prone to making stupid decisions because your brain perceives less risk when theres a high level of dopamine. Your logic falls down, and you make it work in contrast to your trading strategy.
