The importance of psychology in trading

Psychology is considered the most important aspect of profitable trading. Good trading involves three components: buying/selling decisions, portfolio management, and psychology. Traders need to develop a strategy and stick to it, regardless of whether they make money or lose money on any given day. It is crucial to maintain a balanced mindset, follow the strategy, and execute trades unemotionally to avoid second-guessing and impulsive decisions.
