Fear

What this unit covers

Recognise fear-driven trading decisions, like panic-selling a normal dip, as a human bias to manage, not a personal failing.

By the end you will be able to

• Explain why fear during a trade is a normal signal, not proof of a wrong decision.
• Recognise a price dip as impersonal market movement, not a personal threat.
• Apply a one-breath pause before acting on a fear-driven trading impulse.

How it starts: A Sudden Dip

1. A stock you hold falls 4 percent on your phone this morning.
2. Your chest tightens and your thumb moves toward the sell button.
3. Do you sell now, or wait one breath first?

Words you will meet
