Good morning. In 1998, the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) collapsed after massive bets on bond spreads went wrong. Their losses shook global markets so badly that the Federal Reserve organized a $3.6 billion bailout to prevent a wider financial crisis.

One fund… almost broke the global system. That’s how fast leverage can turn into a market shock.

TRADER INSIGHTS

Every trader wants to win, but the best traders in the world don’t win all the time, they just lose well.

The difference between amateurs and professionals isn’t the size of their winners, it's the size of their losers.

Knowing when to exit a bad trade before it turns into a catastrophic one is what keeps you in the game.

Most retail traders fear losing because they take every red position personally, I get it. I have been there!

A small loss feels like failure, but it’s not. It’s feedback.

Instead of accepting that loss as part of the process, many traders hang on, hoping the market will “come back.”

They don’t want to admit they’re wrong, so they let emotion override their plan.

That’s how small losses become account killers.

Here’s a real example from my own book.

I was short CHFJPY, even though the pair had been trending higher for weeks.

The setup was clear, but I knew I was trading against the trend, so I had to be sharp with my management.

When the 1-hour structure broke and the market flipped bullish again, I didn’t hesitate.

I closed for a loss of just 8 pips.

If I’d held on, hoping for a reversal, that loss could have ballooned to 90 pips.

By accepting the small hit early, I saved capital and protected my mental equity, both far more valuable than being “right.”

Closing a trade early isn’t weakness, it’s discipline.

If the market conditions change, your edge disappears. Once your edge is gone, every extra pip you risk is just ego.

The best traders know that capital preservation equals opportunity preservation.

The goal isn’t to win every trade; it’s to survive long enough to catch the big ones that matter.

So next time you’re in a losing position, ask yourself “Is my reason for entering still valid?”. If the answer is no, lose well.

Take the small hit. Protect your capital.

MINDSET

Every trader says they hate FOMO, but most don’t actually understand why it hits so hard.

It’s not just “impatience.” It’s not just “lack of discipline.” FOMO is deeper. It’s the emotional version of a fire alarm going off inside your brain… telling you that you’re about to miss something important, even when you’re not.

Today, let’s slow things down and talk about what’s really happening behind the scenes when you feel that sudden rush to click “Buy” before the candle even closes.

This one’s personal. Because every trader, from newbie to pro, fights the same battle.

Let’s be honest: what bothers you isn’t the trade itself.

It’s imagining the profit you could have had.

It’s imagining other traders winning while you sat still.

Regret is heavier than loss.

FOMO is your brain trying to avoid that pain before it even happens.

If your trading plan has gaps, vague entries, flexible rules, “I’ll just see how it feels” logic, your mind fills the uncertainty with emotion. And emotion pushes you to act fast. This is why traders with tight systems rarely FOMO: clarity kills panic.

You think you’ll miss the move if you wait… but 80% of rushed trades end in frustration.

Missing a trade doesn’t hurt your account. Forcing one does. The market is patient.

The question is: are you?

FOMO isn’t a trading problem, it’s a human problem that shows up on the chart.

The real reason you fear missing out isn’t the market… it’s the feeling of being left behind.

But here’s the truth you eventually learn:

You don’t need to catch every move. You don’t even need to catch most moves. You just need to catch the right ones, the ones that fit your plan, your timing, and your psychology.

If you want to beat FOMO, you don’t fight it with willpower.

You beat it with clarity.

Clear setups. Clear rules. Clear timing.

Because when your plan is solid, every missed trade becomes exactly what it should be:

Just another candle.
