Trading is not an intellectual activity. It's an emotional one.
The decisions that cost you money aren't analytical failures. They're emotional ones. Fear. Greed. Ego. The inability to pull the trigger. The inability to let go.
Over-intellectualising pulls you toward analysis and perfectionism and away from the one thing that actually matters: taking risk.
The best traders don't eliminate the emotional side. They learn to work with it. Ignore it at your peril โ it's always there, and it will always find you.
