When FOMO strikes, I ask myself these three questions:

FOMO is most likely to occur when the market surges:

"It's going up, it's going up, if I don't buy now, there won't be another chance!"

At this point, I force myself to answer three questions first:

1) If I enter the market now, where is my stop loss?

2) If the stop loss is hit, is this loss within my planned range?

3) If I don't take this trade, will I regret it for the rest of my life?

Usually, the answer to the third question is: No.

This indicates:

This is not a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity"; it's just an ordinary fluctuation;

You don't need to compromise your discipline and mindset for this rise and fall.

Learning to coexist with "missing a market opportunity" is a necessary path to becoming a mature trader.
