Day Trading Psychology: The Kiss of Death - The Single Event That Send Traders To Ruin

Have you been hit with the trading kiss of death? Yeah, I call it a kiss of death because it's a singular event that really sends most traders to ruin. And here's what I'm talking about. When you first start trading, you know, when you just learning, you know, you're just starting out and you start trading with real money before you're really ready, you're still all nervous, you're anxious, you're filled with anxiety. You still only kind of have this figured out, and, you know, you're just kind of trying it. You're figuring out as you go. The problem is what you immediately do is you establish the normal for yourself of emotional trading, anxious trading, you know, jumpy trading, and you establish a whole bunch of patterns and emotional responses and habits and perspectives, and this becomes what's normal for you. And so, you know, for some traders, even years into it, you know, say, oh, yeah, you know, it's normal for your emotions to be messed with. No, it's not. But that's what the kiss of death does to you. And so it's really important that you reset and establish a new normal.
