Keep Losing Money 😿 Time to Change These Bad Habits?

It’s said that 85% of people don’t make money trading stocks. Even someone as brilliant as Newton wasn’t spared. That’s because trading isn’t just about technicals and fundamentals—it’s a game of human nature. What do you think is the hardest emotional bias to overcome in investing? Which bad habit do you have in your investing?

I think I have all the bad habits above  [LOL], but I learned my lesson along the way. Even though my profolio is now still deep red, I managed to cut some of the bad habits. The only one I still have is the wrong take profit and stop loss method. Sometimes, it is hard for me to cut loss as I will always hope that the stock will be rebound from the paper loss in the future [Facepalm] [Spurting] Maybe is time to get rid of it too.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The single biggest losing trigger for almost all traders (institutional and otherwise) is not managing their portfolios under clear, pre-defined processes, strategies and tolerances to guide all investment activities. The second biggest loss factor is not sticking to the above mentioned at all times. Put simply, a lack of pre-planning, patience and discipline will undo you every time....

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The hardest emotional bias to overcome in investing is likely loss aversion. This bias, rooted in behavioural finance, stems from the human tendency to feel the pain of losses more acutely than the pleasure of gains. It can lead to poor decision-making, such as holding onto losing investments for too long, in the hope of recovering losses, or selling winners prematurely out of fear of losing unrealised profits. Other Common Emotional Biases in Investing: 1. Overconfidence: Believing one has more knowledge or skill than they actually possess, leading to excessive risk-taking. 2. Confirmation Bias: Focusing on information that supports one’s existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory data. 3. Herd Mentality: Following the c

I definitely felt like I was catching falling knives when I bought China/HK stocks 3 years ago. The cheap just keeps getting cheaper. But I stuck on and rode it out. I don’t believe in going all in as putting all my eggs in the same basket is too risky for me. I definitely have times where I have taken profit too early. Then I would re-enter when I realise that the momentum is there. Of course, there are times when the momentum stops and I am stuck with the stock. I would usually hold it through if the fundamentals are intact and there is a chance that macro factors that influence it would turnaround. Sometimes patience and time in the market would pay off though the profit margin would be reduced. @rL

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The hardest  emotional bias in investing is to keep opening your mind too widely to what is happening and get caught by the market noises. The noises will influence your mind to swap and doubt your earlier decision making as there is bound to be market variables changes over time.  Sadly,  this will makes investor to lose focus in investing for the long term, and instead fall into wrong terms in line with market noises. My bad investing habit is being busybody trying to find out what the smart Alex in the investing community is doing, and in so doing, loses on my Own Personal Investment Goals and Objectives. In future,  I hope to improve by keeping myself far away from the maddening cr

Keep Losing Money😿 Do You Have These Bad Habits?

It’s said that 85% of people don’t make money trading stocks. Even someone as brilliant as Newton wasn’t spared. That’s because trading isn’t just about technicals and fundamentals—it’s a game of human nature. Let’s take a look at the five key habits that lead to losses. Which one sounds familiar?1. FOMO: Sell and then buy again—and always go all-in, never holding cash The moment you sell, you’re itching to buy something else, afraid of missing out. This is classic greed. But remember: as long as the market exists, opportunities will always come. Ironically, when the real opportunity does arrive, you probably won’t have any cash left.2. Wrong take-profit and stop-loss method: Take quick profits but hold onto losing trades This is a classic retail investor trap—taking tiny profits out of fe
