The Psychology Behind Every Market Move
Imagine placing a bet on a horse race. Canadian researchers discovered that bettors become significantly more confident in their horse's chances immediately after placing their bet - though nothing about the horse has actually changed. This psychological shift explains why markets move not because of economic reports or news headlines, but because of human pain and suffering. When enough traders get trapped on the wrong side of a position, their eventual capitulation creates the major market moves that professionals anticipate and exploit. This uncomfortable truth forms the foundation of profitable trading according to John F. Carter's "Mastering the Trade." The moment you place a trade, your psychology fundamentally changes, and your objectivity diminishes instantly - especially when your position size is too large. Consider "Joe Trader" watching his position collapse. Despite being deeply negative, he initially maintains composure and decides to wait for a retracement. The stock continues falling, and Joe's weekend is consumed by anxiety. By Monday, his original $27.80 entry now trades at $14.02, and he finally sells for a devastating $27,560 loss. In a desperate move, he immediately reverses direction, only to watch the market rally and stop him out for another $27,160 loss. Meanwhile, "Joanne Trader" used a disciplined approach on the same stock and walked away with over $45,000 in profits.
