The 5+1 Fears Every Investor Faces And How To Overcome them Trading isn’t just about charts and numbers, it’s about handling emotions. I would love to read about your fears in trading and how you are overcoming them. I choose the 5 most common fears, some affected me a lot in the past and others not that much, but I know are all very common in the Traders community. #1 Fear of Losing Money The obvious one. Every loss used to feel like failure . I’d hold trades too long, hoping they’d turn around while loses kept accumulating in the trade. This is essential, is like understanding that the most important thing when you drive is avoiding a collision! If you have a big accident, you are out. The game is over. Trading is the same, a big accident means you are out. Your account is wiped and you can’t do anything to reverse tha t. To stay alive in the market , I learned to risk small (1–2% max), diversify across sectors, countries, tight stops, steady take profits and different trade directions. That way, even if I lose, I can move on without blowing up my account. This is an example: Today, If I do a Montecarlo simulation into my account the risk of losing a 25% is under 0,1%. You can learn how to do so in my profile newsletter. #2 Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) I used to chase breakouts just because everyone else was already in , usually at the worst possible price, on the worst possible day. Now, if I miss the move, I simply let it go. I remind myself there are countless stocks, currencies, metals, and cryptos out there waiting for me. Why waste money on expired opportunities? My rule is simple: it’s always better to miss a trade that’s already gone than to miss the next one that’s just around the corner. So I keep searching. #3 Fear of Being Wrong This is my favorite ! Once I understood that t rading is about balancing wins and losses in a healthy way, everything changed. Mistakes stopped feeling like failures and started to look like what they really are, necessary steps forward, even if you can’t see it in the moment. For me, it’s just like sports : no basketball team wins a game without the rival scoring points. No football team wins a championship without losing some matches. No tennis player wins every single point. So yes, you must make mistakes . They’re simply part of the process . The key is not to let them wipe out your account and trigger Fear #1. #4 Fear of Overtrading / Freezing This is an unknown fear for most traders. But must be a big one for you all. If you trade so often, you are probably entering at tons of unnecessary trades which are undermining your returns, but if you never decide to trade you are missing big opportunities. So having clear entry and exit reasons helped me a lot to hold a reasonable investment rithm. #5 Fear of the next big crisis The market is rallying … and that little voice kicks in: What if I’m the one who doesn’t see the crash coming? What if I get stuck in a bear market for years? Are we heading toward a crisis worse than 2009, or even 1929? Trust me, that fear is more common than you think . You are not alone!! In my case, trading short-term has given me the freedom to hold long-term positions without hesitation. In fact, I actually get excited when markets decline , it means I can move more money into long-term opportunities. Right now, most of my portfolio is in short-term trades, some of which I’ve already shared with you here. The results? They’re fully transparent and published on my website (coming soon). An example of short term trade even though knowing it was a super good long term entry. #6 The Bonus: Fear of Success Yes, this one is wild. I was two years knowing exactly how to make money in the market , but somehow, I couldn’t succeed. I kept sabotaging myself and my investments by doing stupid things outside my strategy. You need to believe in yourself, and stay cold as ice. Avoid news, avoid gurus. You vs the market! Follow your rules, and review them regularly. If a rule isn’t adding value, feel free to tweak or remove it, but never change nor break your rules in the middle of a trading day. Day after day, you’ll start to realize that yes, it is possible to earn money in the market. Gradually, your confidence grows, and eventually, it feels effortless, like riding a bike on a sunny day. Pure joy. Final Thoughts Fear doesn’t disappear, but you can manage it. Taking small risks, following clear rules, and accepting that you’ll never catch every market move may sound obvious, but they’re far from common among traders.
