I'm Too Scared to Enter a Trade (Fear of Losing) What should I do?


You see a great trade setup, but you just can’t press “Buy or Sell”? You’re not alone—this is completely normal.
But here’s how to manage it:

1. Trust the Process – You’re not alone—every trader faces this fear. Focus on following your strategy, not just winning.

2. Reduce your risk - If fear is stopping you, start small. Reduce your risk. Even 0.5% portfolio helps build confidence.

3. Don’t get emotionally attached - One trade won’t define your success. It’s just one of many. Stay objective and keep moving forward.

4. Track your hesitation - Write down when you hesitate and what you’re thinking. Over time, you’ll notice patterns and learn how to overcome them.

5. Always backtest to track your wins and losses and reasons for that.

You don’t need to eliminate fear completely. Just take action despite the fear.
