'Market and Human' Psychology perspectives with tips on how to avoid common mistakes by 
There are two voices I my head whenever I trade. One saying: Don’t miss the big move . The other says: Don’t jump the gun. So which one do I listen to? Well… both I guess. What I have learned over time (and am still learning to be better at) is that I have to be sure when I pull the trigger; that my emotions aren’t dictating my trading.
When I trade emotionally it’s because I am trying to make up for an earlier loss or lack of a gain where I missed a very good move. Both of these sentiments can get me into trouble.
In order to combat this, I pre-plan my trade and then wait for the trade to come to me. This is where I make the best and most consistent trades. Right now, I have to keep telling myself that a turn is coming and it will be strong. AND it has not started yet and I must be patient and wait.
This is definitely one of the hardest things for me to do. “Waiting” is not my nature as I always feel like I will be missing something. As a teacher of mine once said: Trades are like busses. There’s another one coming around the corner.
So don’t jump the gun and move back into the market when a turn is evident.
Or, as we say in London when we’re waiting for a Bus Pierre, one doesn’t come along for ages and ages and then three of them all come along together!
Any ‘correlation’ here?
