This one was inspired by many questions I received. In this episode, I break down one of the biggest trading demons we all face — FOMO. I talk about how fear, impatience, and the pressure to “catch the move” can quietly push us into overtrading and stepping outside our plan. I’ll show you how these emotions connect, how they trick even experienced traders, and what I personally do to stay disciplined when the market is tempting me the most. If you’ve ever chased a trade you knew you shouldn’t take, this one will hit home.

In this episode, I dive into the trap of judging trades by their results. Sometimes we get rewarded for doing something sloppy, and other times we take a clean, disciplined trade that just doesn’t work out. I talk about why a “good trade” might not be as good as it looks — and why a “bad result” might still be one of your best trades of the week. It’s a simple idea, but once you really understand it, it changes how you look at every trade you take. This is also a key reason for new traders to fail or struggle, tune in for the details.

Two podcasts ago, I talked about trading plans for the first time in this series. Now, it’s not because trading plans aren’t important — they’re actually critical — but they’re not always the easiest topic to break down in a podcast format.

That said, I got a lot of great feedback and a few interesting questions, so in this episode I want to take a little time to follow up and dig deeper.

If you haven’t listened to that earlier episode yet, it’s Podcast #68, “Trading Plans – Just Some Tips.” You might want to go back and check that one out first.
