Biggest trading losses come from FOMO after missing moves or overconfidence streaks. Recognize bad impulses early.

So if cred sent a really great post here that I agree with, I quote tweeted this. If you're on the wrong side during a big move, your most immediate impulse is going to suck. And I agree, most of my major losses in trading come after either missing a huge move. And then I'm like, Holy shit, I got to get in. I fomo into a stupid trade or I'm on a wind streak and I've thrown all logic and reasoning out the window. I feel invincible and then I get smacked in the mouth. So a lot of your instincts here are going to be, okay, well, this thing just went up a whole bunch and I'm not long.
