Trading psychology, from the clinic
Short, evidence-cited reads on the psychology and physiology of trading decisions — written by a triple board-certified psychiatrist who trades his own account. No trade ideas, ever.

Losing money trading?
The four patterns behind most losing accounts — chasing, fear, stimulation, state drift — and where to start on each.
LOSSES · STATE
Why do I keep losing money trading?
Separating a strategy problem from a state problem, the evidence on decision drift, and what actually changes the pattern.
TILT · LOSS-CHASING
How to stop revenge trading
Why the urge to win it back is loss-chasing by another name, why it strikes in the afternoon, and the rules that actually hold.
RECOVERY
I blew up my trading account — what now?
The first 72 hours, the aftermath as a health event, the state post-mortem, and the criteria that should gate any rebuild.
FEAR · PHYSIOLOGY
Trading anxiety: why it shows up and what helps
The two costumes trading anxiety wears, sleep as a risk parameter, and a two-minute intervention with RCT support.
EXECUTION · HESITATION
Fear of pulling the trigger
Why hesitation is not an information problem, why more analysis makes it worse, and the graded-exposure protocol that fixes it.
THE DECISION
Should I quit trading?
An honest framework from someone with nothing to sell you: evidence, full-ledger cost, the sunk-cost trap, and when the decision needs a clinician.
ADDICTION MEDICINE
Day trading addiction: when trading becomes gambling
The clinical signs translated to the screen, why day trading specifically, and what treatment actually looks like — from a physician boarded in addiction medicine.
PROCESS
Good trade, bad outcome: grade the decision, not the P&L
Resulting, the four-square decision grid, and why a paid-out mistake is the most expensive thing the market sells — with the fix that actually holds.
