What is FOMO in Trading?
FOMO = Fear of Missing Out. It’s that emotional urge to jump into a trade because you see the price flying — and you don’t want to miss the move.
But FOMO leads to:
Late entries
Chasing tops or bottoms
Ignoring your risk plan
Emotional rollercoaster
🔥 Real Example:
Bitcoin rallies 20% in 1 day. You didn’t enter at support. Now your brain says: "Jump now or regret it!" You enter late. Price reverses. You lose.
🧠 How to Avoid FOMO:
✅ Stick to your trading plan – Enter only at your pre-decided zone.
✅ Set alerts – Let the price come to you.
✅ Avoid over-watching charts – More screen time = more temptation.
✅ Accept that missing a trade is OK – There’s always another opportunity.
🎯 Pro Tip:
Keep a trading journal. Track all FOMO trades. You'll quickly realize how much they cost you.
💡 Trade with logic. Not emotion. Let the market come to your setup — not your FOMO.
