&lt;p&gt;Most traders pass through three distinct psychological stages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stage One: Confusion and Loss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Adding to Winners</title><link>https://trapdoortrader.com/docs/chapter-10-diagnosing-mistakes-and-improving/adding-to-winners/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><author>info@trapdoortrader.com (Trapdoor Trader)</author><guid>https://trapdoortrader.com/docs/chapter-10-diagnosing-mistakes-and-improving/adding-to-winners/</guid><description>&lt;h2 class="relative group"&gt;Adding to Winners: Why You Must Wait for the Pullback
 &lt;div id="adding-to-winners-why-you-must-wait-for-the-pullback" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 
 &lt;span
 class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"&gt;
 &lt;a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#adding-to-winners-why-you-must-wait-for-the-pullback" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/span&gt;
 
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most new traders add to positions at the exact moment they should not—when price is moving fast and emotions are strongest. It feels right in the moment. If you&amp;rsquo;re short, it&amp;rsquo;s when the stock is dropping quickly, or if you&amp;rsquo;re long, when it&amp;rsquo;s ripping higher. The instinct is to add before the move is “gone.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
