1) Boredom: The trader wants some action, so they initiate a trade. Trades should only be enacted when entry signals are reached and not to alleviate boredom.

2) Frustration: Frustration comes from expectations not being met. Don’t focus on your P&L, focus on executing your trading plan.

3) Overwhelmed: Focus and simplicity are the keys to profits. Complexity and information overload are the road non-profitability.

4) Doubt: Only trade a system after you have thoroughly researched, back-tested, or studied it in real time. Trade only with proven faith in a system.

5) Blame: Blaming the market for losses is like blaming the clouds for rain. The rain will come, you are the one that gets to choose where you are standing with the rain falls.

6) Discouragement: If you can’t keep of the right mind set to survive losing, you will not make it to the winning. “The secret to being successful from a trading perspective is to have an indefatigable and an undying and unquenchable thirst for information and knowledge.” - Paul Tudor Jones.

7) Revenge: Trading to get even with a stock or the market is the most destructive thing that a trader can do. It is like a surfer getting mad at the ocean for a wave, the ocean doesn’t care about the surfer or even know that they exist. The market is neutral; you create your results.

8) Jealously: When a trader unable to be happy for other trader’s profits, it is time to do some self-reflection. Good traders are not bitter people.

9) Momentum: For those who don't understand my style. I'm a trader, I don't care about direction, I'll go long or short, I only care about momentum.

10) Missing Out: My biggest trading mistakes have come from fear of missing a move.
