1. Identify and Acknowledge

Nobody does something just for the heck of it. Binge eaters don’t just overeat just so they could eat a lot. In one way or another, they get something out of it. Some sort of self-fulfillment perhaps.

The same is true for a trader who always finds himself betting too much on his trades even when past experience tells him it’s not a good idea. Why does he keep on doing it?

A little introspection can make one realize that it’s more than just about being greedy. For most traders, they realize that their aggressive behavior is tied to their self-worth. They bet big in hopes that they win big. The prospect of massive gains consequently makes them feel good about themselves.

The problem though is that they don’t fully understand how much they could lose and they find themselves being unable to control their emotions when price goes against their way, even by just a few pips.

In order to address it, one has to acknowledge that there is indeed a problem and that will make a trader realize that this mindset is flawed. With time and conscious effort, he will eventually realize that his trading positions don’t measure his worth as a trader.
