Behavioral economists keep uncovering something wild—rationality doesn't actually run the show in most decisions. We like to think we're all logic machines, running calculations and weighing data points. The reality? Emotions, biases, and pattern-matching dominate how we actually choose. This matters big time for traders and investors. Whether you're deciding on a position or managing risk, understanding that your brain isn't wired for pure logic changes the game. Market psychology > spreadsheets.

The mind simply doesn't obey, and this is the biggest enemy in trading.

This is the truth, much more reliable than any technical analysis. I always say that every time I lose money, it's because my mind isn't rational enough...

Market psychology really hits the nail on the head. We all think we're rational trading machines, but in reality, we're very easily influenced by emotions and get "cut" by them.

Hi, that's why every time I look at the candlestick chart I want to smash my phone... What's the point of being rational, we're all being led by emotions.
