Beating FOMO — the trader's #1 killer
The two-question filter that keeps you out of the trades you'll regret tomorrow.
Before chasing a move that's already run, ask two questions: "Would I take this entry if I hadn't already watched it move?" and "What's my stop, right now, on this exact setup?" If either answer is fuzzy — you're chasing, not trading.
FOMO trades share a signature: no plan, oversized position, and a stop decided after entry instead of before. Missing a move costs you nothing. Chasing it badly can cost you the account.
