The two emotions that can cause most damage
are fear and hope. Fear, which usually creeps
up on traders while in profit, can make them
doubt the likelihood of taking their initial desired
profit amount. This may push them into getting
out of a trade too early and realise a much
smaller profit than initially planned. It may also
prevent them from taking advantage of a good
trading opportunity. Hope, which creeps up
when a trade is losing, can cause the trader to
hold onto a poor trade for far too long.
