Why is it easier to see at position -100 than +100?
Every trader faces moments when -100 appears on the account. It seems more real than +100. Why? Why is it so hard for us to believe in profits and so easy to see losses? The answer to this question is hidden in psychology.
1. Psychological barrier of losses
When you see that your position is in the minus, it causes real anxiety. We are used to focusing on the negative aspects. Losses are like a blow to self-esteem. We start thinking about the money we lost, about what we did wrong. And although +100 can bring joy, there is less emotion in the mind, because the profit seems less important than the loss.
