Overtrading Is the Same as Addiction — Let’s Talk About It
Most traders overtrade because of FOMO.
And this is one of the most common mistakes traders make.
He sits in front of the screen early in the morning.
On his phone during work hours.
Even while sitting in class.
He opens TradingView and starts scanning different pairs, telling himself, “This might be the next good move of the day.”
He enters a trade without a clear plan.
The trade goes against him.
He exits, feels frustrated, and jumps back in on the next candle.
By the end of the day, he has taken many trades — all of them against his rules.
This is how overtrading begins.
The problem is not a lack of knowledge.
It’s FOMO and uncontrolled behavior.
FOMO that the market won’t come back.
FOMO that others are making money while he’s sitting out.
He can’t wait, because his mind has been trained to crave excitement.
During overtrading, the brain releases a large amount of dopamine.
So he keeps repeating the same behavior, chasing the pleasure he felt the last time he made big profits.
And that’s how traders blow accounts — not from bad strategies, but from lack of discipline.
Because of this, good setups slowly start to feel invisible.
Not because they’re gone — but because the mind is already tired.
To avoid this, every trader must accept one truth:
The market will always give another opportunity.
Missing one trade doesn’t matter.
Protecting capital does.
Waiting is part of the job.
And no trade is also a decision.
Set clear rules before the session starts.
Have a fixed time to trade, or a clear plan for the day.
Decide how many trades are allowed.
Walk away when conditions are not met.
The goal is not to trade more.
The goal is to trade better.
The number of trades doesn’t matter.
Quality matters most.
