Psychology, Why 90% of Traders Fail (And How to Be the 10%)

29
⚡ The ugly truth: Most traders don’t fail because of strategy. They fail because of *themselves*. It’s NOT bad strategies, it’s bad psychology.

📉 Here’s the real story 👇:

  • We know about stop-losses.
  • We know about risk-to-reward.
  • We know patience matters.


Imagine this: You’ve planned your trade. Price goes against you. Suddenly, your brain whispers:

👉 “Just hold a little longer.”
👉 “Double your position, you’ll recover.”
👉 “Skip the stop-loss this time, it’ll bounce back, praying it turns back.”

Sound familiar?
That inner voice has blown more accounts than any chart pattern ever did.


🧠 “It’s not because their strategies don’t work—it’s because *they don’t work on themselves*.

✅ The 10% who wins don’t have superhuman IQs. They *train their minds* the way athletes train their bodies.


Here’s how you can upgrade yourself today:

1️⃣ **Detach From Money** → Don’t measure success by today’s P&L.
Measure it by *following your plan*. Consistency is the real wealth.

2️⃣ **Write Your Rulebook 📘** → Define your entries, exits, and risk rules. Print it. Stick it near your screen.
No match = no trade. (Yes, it’s boring. That’s why it works.)

3️⃣ **Journal Your Trades** → Every. Single. Trade. Wins and losses. How did you feel?
Why do you enter?
after doing this, you’ll start to * see your patterns *—and they’ll expose your weaknesses too..

🎯 Success in trading isn’t about predicting/beating the market. It’s about controlling *yourself*, beating your own impulses.
