FOMO, The GOOD and the BAD!
Good day everyone, this is my second psychology method. Today we are learning about FOMO. FOMO is another word for Fear of missing out. This means a couple of things in the mind of trader.
"Oh my god, it keeps going up."
"I am going to miss it"
"Fudge it, all in"
"I can make a lot of money if I go in."
"It is going to the MOON!"
When this comes to mind of a trader, it losses their train of thought. The strategy that they have been using just goes out the window. Some call it "Risk it for the biscuit."
The worse thing about fomoing into a crypto or pair is winning it, this is because it becomes a habit and each time something pumps 100% or more they end up fomoing. The only problem is, what if it doesn't go higher and it just dumps so quick for someone to react. In the end of the day, you will lose a lot of money. You might get lucky but luck runs out. If you win by fomoing once or twice, then do not keep doing it. It was free money that the market gave you. Go back to your strategy and just call it an Anomaly.
Example:
The crypto you are looking at is called ACH, this crypto got listed to coinbase and it pumped over 1,000% in the last 4 days. What I notice in the crypto chat, is that many people, especially people new to the market wanted to get in even though it pump so much. ACH kept going higher and higher and I knew the fomo was kicking in. Seconds later, boom it dump. It dumped fast. As a patience trader, I wait for the best entry and even though I miss the pump, I still manage to get 50% from scalping. Remember this is not the only method you use to be a successful trader. There are many aspect to become one.
Thank you!
