They are driving by FOMO or Greed or just excitement to make money in the market, but as we learn with experience how often you trade matters as much as have a high probability technical strategy. You need to be able to keep your capital and the profit you're making in the market.

Learning from experience, I realized that the more I trade my winner rate decreases, my psychology deteriorate and I make impulsive decision that I eventually regret making.
