Avoid ‘Click Happy’ Emotions When Trading

Earnings rise, earnings fall; rally up, pull back; virus slows, virus spreads – so much up-and-down news creates a set of emotional challenges for traders.

Traders square off against a flurry of feelings every trading session and the importance of keeping emotions in check is front and center these days.

Wild markets can derail trading plans when emotions rule during a surging market or shifting momentum goes against positions.

Where were your emotions in the middle of another mixed session today?
