trader stress: wired to lose


Trading is a highly stressful mental sport.

forex factory psychology hiding the truth



Psychology is 100% of trading success. This is because the human with a mind is going to execute the trades  and a trader’s brain command center makes all the trading decisions.The brain’s command center can shut down due to stress responses , in the middle of a trade. Emotions can override rational trading rules, systems and methods taught by educators.



Your subconscious  mind will take over your trading  ,during live trading  , it will act like  a autopilot  with conscious awareness , blocking your rational brain  and rational trading decisions , to protect  you and your account from a loss .



Any stress physical or mental is likely to affect your body the same way. Perhaps it is a stressful work environment.If you are sitting in front of a computer screen watching price go down and account value erode, perceived threats are still there. Once your fight or flight response hits, you won’t always behave logically and rationally.





Is trading stressful? The simple answer to this, is yes trading can be stressful but it doesn’t have to be. Learn how to manage your stress levels with the right knowledge and tools and you will drastically improve your trading. 


 What are the early signs of stress?

Stress can affect you both physically, emotionally, and mentally. Physically, you might have troubles sleeping, a change in your eating patterns, muscle tension and repetitive colds and flus, head and backaches, digestive problems, and more. Emotionally, look for marked differences in how you would normally feel and act. You might suddenly be more volatile and restless. Or you might go the other way and feel lethargic, low, or withdrawn. And mentally, look out for forgetfulness and an inability to concentrate.

Traders lose because they are not psychologically prepared to lose. In effect, they are not able to accept the loss of money  over something in which they have no control of the outcome.

About Emotions
There are 8 primary emotions. You are born with these emotions wired 
into your brain. That wiring causes your body to react in certain ways 
and for you to have certain urges when the emotion arises.
Here is a list of primary emotions:
Eight Primary Emotions
  Anger: fury, outrage, wrath, irritability, hostility, resentment and violence. 
  Sadness: grief, sorrow, gloom, melancholy, despair, loneliness, and depression. 
  Fear: anxiety, apprehension, nervousness, dread, fright, and panic.
  Joy: enjoyment, happiness, relief, bliss, delight, pride, thrill, and ecstasy.
  Interest: acceptance, friendliness, trust, kindness, affection, love, and devotion. 
  Surprise: shock, astonishment, amazement, astound, and wonder.
  Disgust: contempt, disdain, scorn, aversion, distaste, and revulsion.
  Shame: guilt, embarrassment, chagrin, remorse, regret, and contrition.
  All other emotions are made up by combining these basic 8 
emotions. 
  Sometimes we have secondary emotions, an emotional reaction to 
an emotion. We learn these. Some examples of these are:
o  Feeling shame when you get angry.
o  Feeling angry when you have a shame response (e.g., hurt 
feelings).
o  Feeling fear when you get angry (maybe you’ve been 
punished for anger).
  There are many more. These are NOT wired into our bodies and 
brains, but are learned from our families, our culture, and others.
  When you have a secondary emotion, the key is to figure out what 
the primary emotion, the feeling at the root of your reaction  is, so 
that you can take an action that is most helpful.

Trading psychology the best knowledge


99 % of traders will actually lose money due to their mindsets, this because all our trading is done by subconscious mind.This psychology  information and knowledge is not told by any psychologist or trader , because the whole industry does not want traders to know , the industry wants you to lose.
Psychology is 100% of trading success. This is because the human with a mind is going to execute the trades  and a trader’s brain command centre makes all the trading decisions.The brain’s command centre can shut down due to stress responses , in the middle of a trade. Emotions can override rational trading rules, systems and methods taught by educators.

Your subconscious  mind will take over your trading  ,during live trading  , it will act like  a autopilot  with conscious awareness , blocking your rational brain  and rational trading decisions , to protect  you and your account from a loss .These actions by your subconscious are to fight, flight or freeze, if applied at the wrong time, all of which can be irrational decisions, acting irrationally   against trader's best rational decisions.

Planning and executing involve different skills that draw upon different parts of the brain. Planning the trade is largely a function of your intellect, the prefrontal cortex PFC. You create your plan in a relatively calm state of mind with your PFC in charge. But when it comes time to execute the plan, other areas of your brain will become involved.



Automatic Brain: most trading is by subconscious.

Automatic mind takes over our trading , after a stress response ,emotional hijack and testosterone driven.It means all our trading plans , systems .rules and strategy instructions go out of the trading .The subconscious mind takes over our trading , it does all the damage  and creates self sabotage.Subconscious mind makes irrational , risky and damaging trade execution.

When a trade breaks down , your stop loss is hit , trade goes against you by a few ticks , market become chaotic , highly volatile and wild or other risk event , your subconscious takes over and your primitive response system comes in to give the commands of the brain.

subconscious emotional trade executions

Our emotions have helped us immeasurably over the course of human evolution. Emotional responses are milliseconds faster than cognitive (thinking) responses; the lightning-fast reactions that bypass the rational brain centers were often survival responses for our distant ancestors. The limbic brain sends us the warning of a crisis before the rational brain can even process the incoming signal: the body has been alerted and is ready to act on our behalf.


Our emotional brain takes over  trade executions ,blocks the rational brain  and behaves to the detriment of the trader and the systems to be executed.The prefrontal cortext holds the circuitry we need for abstract thought. It allows us to concentrate on the task at hand while storing useful information in temporary storage for later on. It also prevents you from performing inappropriate actions and is basically the command center for the brain.
