What this lesson covers
Emotions influence every trade whether or not you acknowledge them, and this lesson starts by making the case for acknowledging them. Fear, greed, excitement, doubt and overconfidence each shape decisions in specific and recognisable ways, and left unexamined they override the reasoning that produced the plan. The lesson works through the common traps in turn: fear of loss that keeps you out of valid setups, greed that holds a winner past the target, excitement that raises position size after a good run, and doubt that closes a trade the moment it moves against you. Recognising which of these is present, in the moment rather than in review, is the first step toward keeping the plan in charge of the decision.
