Psychology
Your biggest risk isn't the market — it's yourself. Biases, emotions, and discipline failures destroy more accounts than bad strategies.
Key Concepts
- Cognitive biases — Confirmation bias, anchoring, loss aversion, and how they distort your decisions.
- Emotional discipline — FOMO, panic selling, revenge trading, and the cost of acting on feelings.
- Process over outcome — Judging decisions by quality of reasoning, not by whether they made money.
