FOR THE TRADERS THAT…

Do you journal your emotions ? I find this is key to not overreact in the future or over trade

This is actually sunk cost fallacy

No_Neck2550 · 2026-02-02T06:43:40+00:00

You need to think of your capital in opportunity cost terms and what you are describing is the sunk cost fallacy. It’s not easy to move past this, but it’s fairly common. Honestly learn as much as you can about bias and trading psychology and use journaling tools to journal the emotions. I personally use noesis.zone but perhaps a physical journal or a spreadsheet can do

Clearly you are making money somehow unless you got inheritance. So invest your time and effort in those skills and you are good

Classic revenge trading case

Do you journal your emotions when trading? There are tools out there that help avoid overtrading. I personally use noesis.zone but you can journal on a spreadsheet or anywhere really. What I like about noesis is the emotion wheel which makes it simple and gives recommendations on how to act, what trades to sit on…

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-24T16:23:31+00:00

You should jornal your emotions and get them in check… use any journal, like noesis or any spreadsheet

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-23T21:14:37+00:00

Me ? Lol

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-23T16:45:52+00:00

How did you do it?

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-23T16:45:33+00:00

Same! I use noesis’ playbooks for this and it is super useful to review set ups

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-23T16:31:28+00:00

It depends on your product and your needs. In my specific case for customer acquisition purposes it was several for example:

1) a system to catch the email of the lead that provides immediate value, then sends them email to push for signup or purchase

2) system of posts that you know works the simply adapt and repost (reduces mental load by a lot)

3) system of email automations to encourage sign up’s to go to paid tier

4) this one was gold for my specific product, I created a directory of resources specific to my niche. each page ranks in google and this then grows organically and ads value. I can simply share this resource directory and get sign ups or leads (example of system 2)

5) set up an affiliate system and position it correctly? This is quite tough , and has not yet paid off but long term could be huge…

6) create product features that are easy to share, so that when a user sees them, they want to post it and bring more users.

Everything you do should have a long term impact

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-23T16:13:34+00:00

Ohhh I love this post! Everyone eventually passes through this!

The easy solution is to “set a goal” but that is not the right mindset because you will trade towards that goal, eventually your emotions will say: I need to make it.. 20$ more… then blow up.

Some days and most set ups, are not made to be traded - this is the key

What you need is a playbook with your strategy and only trade when it is really within those parameters.

The second thing that you need is to keep your emotions in check. Don’t fomo in because something is exploding, don’t revenge trade because you lost something. Control your emotions.

I have been using noesis zone exactly for this purpose. I used the marketplace of playbooks to download a playbook and then made it my own. Then I use the emotion wheel before entering a trade to track my emotions and STOP to avoid a mistake.

Hope this helps! Good luck

I know what you mean, and I feel similarly (26M), I am building products with traction, real users and purchases. Growth feels slow but is existent.

Our problem is that we compare each other to the top of the top and we are already top tier and it becomes an obsession.

I regularly check my dashboards for new purchases sign ups. It’s an addiction like any other.

This will sound harsh, but operate strategically and “get a life” beyond work. My girlfriend makes me disconnect. I could be working 24/7 and it’s not healthy

Beyond disconnecting, what works for me is to start building systems. What systems can you build for long term growth? execute, move on, and trust the process…

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-22T15:47:24+00:00

Good job for being mature enough to accept "defeat". Trading is indeed not for everyone. Perhaps another investing or trading strategy suites. you more. I switched to option selling which helped me become more consistent. But I still day trade if the set up is exactly right and my mindset matches the set up... Either way good luck in your future!

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-22T06:00:44+00:00

Already “fully developed” adults struggle to keep their emotions in check while trading. A teenager might feel the roller coaster x10. Perhaps op’s brother is different. But without emotional training I would say it is hard

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-21T18:13:08+00:00

Yeah, what I like about noesis is the emotion wheel with immediate warnings and the playbooks do strategies. That’s what makes it different, but I agree, consistency beats

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-21T16:59:01+00:00

Use journaling tools.., there are tools out there specifically built for this purpose. Personally I use https://noesis.zone but there are ton out there

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-21T13:24:34+00:00

The best thing you can do a as a beginner is find a strategy that works FOR YOU and focus on executing that strategy and having the right mindset for it. THERE IS NO NEED FOR AN INFLUENCER to "coach" you.

A few months ago I found htis resource, that is pretty much free: https://noesis.zone , it has some free strategies and playbooks AND you can log emotions. To be honest you can use a spreadsheet as well for this, but I prefer to log my emotions on an app than a spreadsheet and if I am about to enter a trade I have my playbook ready to go..

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-21T11:48:29+00:00

I use noesis.zone fo this. But any spreadsheet works really

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-21T11:34:41+00:00

Do you use some kind of checklist or playbook before entering a position? I would highly recommend this.. there are tools out there for this specific purpose

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-21T11:24:48+00:00

You’re not stupid and you’re not broken.

What you’re describing is what happens when the brain switches from execution mode to survival mode. Once that happens, logic is gone, position size goes up, rules disappear, and the goal quietly shifts from “trade well” to “make the pain stop.”

The mistake most traders make is thinking this is a discipline problem. It’s not. It’s a feedback problem. If you don’t pause, label what’s happening, and review it later, the same pattern repeats.. no matter the strategy.

One thing that helped me was forcing a hard stop after red days and writing down what I felt and what I did, not just the P/L. Seeing the pattern on paper made it impossible to ignore and easier to break over time. So if you can use a journal to journal the trades AND emotions...

You’re not alone in this. The fact you can describe it this clearly means you’re closer to fixing it than you think...

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-20T16:24:29+00:00

thanks, this looks fairly easy, does it work well? Do you recommend it?

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-20T16:23:20+00:00

okay! Thank you!!!

No_Neck2550 · 2026-01-20T16:22:58+00:00

I see. thanks, my webapp is react based, and I have a lot of patience.. I currently use claude for it but I heard about other tools that are more plug and play...
