- When you are emotional unstable.
In my opinion this is the worst factor when trading compared to other things. The emotion of joy because we continue to make profits makes us rash in making decisions, eventually this greed makes us lose control and lose funds. Then when we are anxious because we get a loss this is also dangerous. Stabilizing emotions when trading is the biggest challenge, if we can control our emotions I believe the other two points above can be overcome, because automatically we can think clearly in taking and responding to the moment when trading.
Yea when our minds become so emotional there are a lot of things like greed, impatience, and more. Before we invest or trade we should be able to control these emotion and this some step I do to minimize that emotion overcome my mind, use my cold money, have a long-term mindset, stay away from FUD, don't ever get trapped by FOMO, and of course learn first before we go trading for real.
I think that what influences is the right time to buy, when we start to do analysis, we read some opinions in the forum about how we can operate, it is difficult to get a criterion that adapts in a general way, and I think that is something normal, because each person sees the market in their own way, we do not all think the same, and when we see a thought that is similar to ours, we are pleased to accept that things are like that, that is why before I look for any advice, I make my own analysis without seeing news or anything, so I have it there if I start to see how many people, news coincide with my thinking, this is a way to see or evaluate if I am on the right track.
