A short YouTube monologue by Kardec Trader prompting traders to self-reflect on their emotional and behavioral responses to trading outcomes. The speaker asks how traders react to making money, losing money, missing trades, and experiencing consecutive wins—highlighting tendencies like over-sizing positions, revenge trading, overconfidence, and lack of self-awareness about psychological barriers.
When you make money, how do you respond when you lose money, how do you respond? Do you go and do you take on stupid trades afterwards? Do you start putting in more size? Do you get overly excited when you're right? When you are overly excited the next day, do you start putting on so much size to make more money, vice versa, when you lose money, how do you respond when you miss a trade? How do you respond when you're able to capitalize on three to four to five trades back to back? Do you get super confident where eventually you start blowing all the money away? So these are some things that you want to start understanding about yourself and how you respond to certain situations. And I've noticed traders are just sometimes not aware. They're not aware of their psychological barriers. They're not even aware of the psychological aspects and impacts that trading has in general.
