Past losses often give rise to fear that leads to hesitation and consequently good trades may be lost. Fear is nothing more than a condition response to specific stimuli. So when one trade goes bad then there is a natural tendency to fear the next one. This is simila

One of the most difficult things that every new trader has to learn while trading in the stock market is how to keep emotions out of decisions. Money is an extremely emotional aspect for everyone. Making a profit makes us happy and making a loss is cause for concern. Considering the unpredictable nature of the stock market it is never easy to tell what might happen during a trade. This makes it difficult for traders to always retain their sense of logic and not give in to emotional pulls. It is not possible to completely wipe out emotion but what can be done is to make sure that they are kept at a minimum.

Stronger emotions are associated with past losses. This is simply because we tend to remember our hurts more than our joy. It is important never to let a loss become a permanent hangover. At the same time it is also important not to let huge victories in the market cloud your judgment. Neither extreme is healthy for a trader. The best traders seem to suffer from short-term memory. They neither remember their profits or losses too much into the past. They simply apply their experience to their current trade and nothing else seems to matter to them. The reason they are best is because they are in full acceptance of the fact that greed, overconfidence, fear, and hesitation are all emotions that lead to bad decisions and they simply avoid those.

Past losses often give rise to fear that leads to hesitation and consequently good trades may be lost. Fear is nothing more than a condition response to specific stimuli. So when one trade goes bad then there is a natural tendency to fear the next one. This is similar to a lack of self confidence. Sometimes, this fear may be so overpowering that a trader will refuse to speculate further. This compounds the problem because if the missed trade turns out to be in the trader's favor then it leads to further deterioration of self confidence and increases fear.

This problem is often faced by those traders who expect every trade to make a handsome profit. Greed is sometimes simply another form of overconfidence. You make some consecutive profits and assume you are on a hot streak or some such thing and get reckless. It must be obvious that this sort of behavior leads to involvement in trades that you would not otherwise have touched. Every trader knows that finding the right trade is difficult enough to begin with and this barging in with more confidence than is justified is not going to do any good.

It is very fashionable to say that you are not overly emotional, but in the end, we all listen to our emotions in some way or another. In stock trading, fear and hesitation will deprive you of good opportunities while overconfidence and greed will blind you to the dangers of quick and impulsive trading.

It is possible to keep these emotions in check with a bit of practice.
