Fear

Actually fear can be defined so many times depending upon the situations however a general definition is to move towards your survival instinctively without thinking. Regardless of the nature of danger, fear can make us either escape from that danger instinctively or even worsen the threat from that danger. Why? This probability involves here because of the fact that we made a move with analyzing the situation or we grab whatever come first and so we may go deeper in the water or we may catch a rope pulling us out. When you see the role of fear in trading, there is only one thing to fear that is a series of loss since one or two can be expected but a continuous streak means something is not good!

If somehow you are on a losing streak then last thing to do will be to hang on while thinking that market may revolve in your direction since there is no ground beneath that statement and that just came from you instinctively to cover up the loss you saw. However while hanging on, you may lose more so for better good you have to stop the trade and determine what went wrong there and technically what were you doing wrong?

Greed

If you have won a trade and just because of lure and greed you decide to hang on. Above situation may end up with your pockets empty! Trading is not at all restricted in anyway; however you are restricted to make any decision when you just have a hunch that you will win or because the profits sound so much to luring that you make a decision to hang on the trade and you may lose with what you walked in! If you make a habit of analyzing every thing before making a trade and determining where this trade will take you in both situations? Moreover you can also determine by analyzing market trends as well as the expected winning rate of the certain trade.

Lemming Effect

Probably you would be wondering by now if you know that Lemming is an animal but recall their habit and you would know that they are renowned to blindly follow the crowd. Human beings can suffer from the same conditions as well and in the end losing the sense of judgment. This habit must be avoided at all costs.

Anger & Greed are different situations for every individual however best way to counter these is to quit the trade whenever you realize that trade is affected by greed and anger – it may be hard to accept but you have to move on for good! Lemmings effect can be countered by making research as your habit and try to find the logic behind any of your decisions so that you get assured that you are not doing this because world is doing this.
