Ever found yourself second-guessing your trading decisions, even when you've done your research? You're not alone. Many traders face the psychological challenge of self-doubt, constantly questioning their strategies and abilities. How often have you looked at a price chart and said to yourself, "It looks like the market is going up" and what you thought was going to happen actually happened, but you did nothing except watch the market move, while you anguished over the money you could have made.
