π We've All Been There
You watch a stock. It runs. Regret creeps in. Then it dips. Relief follows. But emotionally? You're still drained β despite never hitting "buy." This isn't trading. It's shadow-boxing with the market.
π Speed Isn't Always Strength
In a momentum-driven world, being quick to act feels like an edge. But research shows that overtrading often eats into returns more than missed rallies do. Decisiveness without conviction is just expensive spontaneity.
π My Personal Strategy
I set pre-defined zones (buy/sell) and let price come to me β not the other way around.
I try not to chase β I journal setups and look for repeated conviction.
Missed a runner? I review the why, but don't revenge-buy the next name.
I always ask: βIf I buy this now, what is my exit plan?β
π Rule of thumb: act quickly on process, not on emotion.
