Must read post for traders-

The stock market is a study in human psychology with human emotion driving all market action. The market acts as a pendulum, which swings with emotion and psychology. These emotions can include but are not limited to greed, fear, hope, excitement, sadness, etc. Since the market is fueled by humans, these emotions never change. Emotions can and will determine your success or failure while trading the stock market. When you learn to control emotions, you are at least half way towards winning the battle. Without control of your emotions, no matter how successful a system or set of rules, consistent profits will be difficult to obtain.
How does the average investor react after buying a stock that:

a. Goes up in price:
b. Goes down in price:

When scenario ‘A’ takes place, most average investors will start to hope that it keeps going up but as the stock continues its advance, fear starts to overcome their emotions. They now fear that the stock may come back down and they will lose the current profit. On up days, the investor feels like a genius but is scared to allow the profit to deteriorate so he looks for every reason to sell and hate the stock. On down days, the investor has all the hope in the world that the stock will recover and he loves the stock even though it is telling him that his judgment may be wrong. As a result of these emotions, they will sell the stock with a small profit with no other reason justifying the sell. The investors kicks himself when he sees that the stock he sold for a small profit is now trading 50% higher without any major selling violations along the way.
In scenario ‘B’, the investor starts to hope that the price will rebound and the negative action is temporary. The proper research was done and the investor believes that he has a great stock and it has to be successful (the market is wrong he thinks to himself). The investor starts making excuses as to why the stock is now in negative territory. He continues to hope for a recovery and will actually purchase additional shares at the lower price by averaging down. By averaging down, he convinces himself that the entry price is now more favorable with a potential for a larger profit. The stock continues to slide and he keeps hoping for a rebound and may buy more shares by putting good money after bad.

As the stock slides, he promises himself that he will sell on the first rebound to get out with minimal damage. Finally, the stock is up a few percent but volume is higher so he talks himself into holding onto the stock because this is the start of a rebound. Emotions play with his mind and he completely ignores his rules and system. As the rebound dries up, the downtrend continues and he is now just looking to get out on the next rebound. The rollercoaster will continue until he can’t take it anymore and probably sells near the bottom. He finally sells for a large loss and walks away with his tail between his legs.

Bottomline: First control your emotions and then start trading along the trend.
