Psychology of Options Trading

What are the most important things you need to know about Option Trading?
- Not the strategies
- Not the tools
- Not the money

It is all about the psychology of the trader - emotion, mindset... There are alot of fear and greed in trading which are from the human beings. You will be asking when should i buy or when should i sell. Should i buy more to cover the lost or just cut lost. There will be alot of distration around you. From your family, friends and so call other gurus.

Example : A novice trader will buy and sell because a friend say the stock will be going up or down. The novice trader just trade by NEWS from the friend.

What your mind concieve, your mind can
achieve
