3 Hardest Psychological Barriers in Trading

Trading has as much to do with overcoming the markets as it does with overcoming yourself and your own limits. Good traders know this and they manage their mental blocks to squeeze out the maximum results out of their trades.

Our resident trading expert David Jones is here to discuss the three main psychological problems that affect traders and hamper their performance.

First comes the general fear of losing money and letting losing trades affect your judgement. Then we have the inability to open a trade even though your analysis is solid. And finally we touch on the misconception that you should protect trades that are making a small profit – but haven’t reached their full potential – from going back into a loss.

If you have questions about these issues or you have other mental blocks affecting your trading – let us know in the comments.
