Emotions in Investing: The “Enemy” That Doesn’t Make You Lose Immediately But Makes You Lose Consistently and Lose Big
In trading, most mistakes don’t come from a lack of analysis skills. They come from failing to execute what you already know. You can plan everything clearly entry, stop-loss, position size, exit conditions yet the moment price starts shaking, emotions show up and push you into a different decision-making mode: you start making choices to reduce discomfort, not to maximize probability.

The shortened Christmas Eve session is usually defined by thin liquidity and muted moves. But 2025 was different: the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones closed at record highs, while gold and silver (and even platinum) printed new all-time records.
