What the trading psychology guide covers

Trading psychology is the study of how emotion affects trading decisions and how to keep it from running your account. Fear and greed push traders to cut winners early, hold losers too long, and abandon their rules at the worst moment. The antidote is not willpower but structure: a written trading plan, a stop-loss on every trade, and a journal that makes your own patterns visible.
