Summarizing posts about greed.

Greed is one of the most dangerous traps in trading. It masquerades as “ambition,” “confidence,” or “just a little longer,” but in reality, it destroys discipline, planning, and results.

🔹 Why is greed so dangerous

Greed changes thinking.

It causes the trader to see not what is, but what they want to see.

- You hold the position longer than the strategy allows.

- You ignore exit signals because “just a little more — and there will be more.”

- You start counting not profit, but what you “could have earned.”

- You enter the market late because you are afraid of missing the move.

At that moment, you are no longer a trader.

You are a player hoping for luck.

🔹 How greed manifests in reality

Greed is not an emotion, but a behavior.

- Holding onto profit.

You see +10%, but want +20%. As a result, you get 0 or negative.

- Increasing risk without reason.

“This deal will definitely go through, I can increase the lot.”

- Ignoring stops.

“The market will turn around, it can’t go against me like this.”

- Searching for the “perfect entry point.”

You are not trading the plan — you are chasing a fantasy.
