PsychologyFOMO
Fear Of Missing Out — the urge to chase a stock that's already moved.
FOMO makes you buy at the top. When you see TSLA up 5% and jump in, you're likely the last buyer. The disciplined move: wait for a pullback to a level (VWAP, EMA) and enter with a defined stop. If there's no pullback, there's no trade. The market opens every day — there's always another setup.
