Everyone knows eating late at night is bad for you. But in the evening, when you’re tired, your hand reaches for the fridge on its own. Knowing a rule and following it are two different things.
Trading is the same. Before the trade you decided: stop at $98. Price gets close to $98.5, and a voice inside says: “it’s about to turn around, move it a little.” This isn’t stupidity or weakness — it’s how the brain works: a loss hurts more than finding the same amount makes you happy.
