D4rkEnergY is back, and he is more ready than ever to bring you this update on Bitcoin. Did you see the latest calls? First the brake through historical important 11,600 USD, and the Long to just under 14,000 USD, for hereafter giving the Stop Hunt Warning. And a few hours later, we got a 2,000 USD Stop Hunt.... Relax...
Lets talk Emotions
When I wake up, and I see BTC is at 13,000 USD, I also feel Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). My heart starts instant to beat faster, I can feel a rush in my body and when I then go into TradingView or Twitter, and see that everyone is talking about 20% gains everywhere, and I see, that people are panic buying, I also panic, and I want to buy.
When I suddenly see huge long red candles, and a 2,000 USD stop loss, I also get anxious, I start to get clammy hands, I start to sweat, and suddenly everyone is starting to panic sell, I also panic, and I want to sell.
So what is happening? Without going into too many details, when we see someting, our brain starts to interprete the event, which then sends signals to our sympathetic nervous system, which is the reason why we get a physical reaction. Somebody also knows this as the fight flight response.
Why Trading is Hard
In daily life it can be a good thing to listen to your feelings, and act on them. But not when it comes to trading (usually). The reason why trading is hard, is because, you often have to do something that is CONTRARY to your feelings to win.
So when events like I have described for you above occurs, most people have a hard time to control their actions, and act on their feelings AND being consitstent with it. And suddenly within miniutes you might already have entered and exited a couple of trades and lost.
The point is here, that we are NOT trying to change our feeling, but we are trying to change your actions.
Solutions
Things like a strategy, money- and a risk mangement all contributes to a more healthy mindset, which help you to not act on your emotions. If you want to take it to the next level, which I have done, you can do mindfullness and meditation exercises, which have scientific evidence that it helps on stress reduction and in general the para sympathetic nervous system, which is the response that go in and regulate your nervous system.
