When are “reflexive and reflective” brain systems are not in balance in the market, we tend to make mistakes like continually trying to pick the top of an uptrend, the bottom of a downtrend, or entering just as the market is about to reverse…these are emotional trading mistakes. Unfortunately, in trading, we often have to do the opposite of what “feels” right…we need to sell when the market is high and buy when the market is low…this seems simple enough but in reality it’s difficult for most people to ignore the urge to buy only because the market is screaming higher or sell only because it’s falling lower…instead, we need to wait for a price action signal to “confirm” our entry.
