One of the biggest hurdles in being a stock day trader is within the arena of trader psychology. Whether you are trading stocks, options, crypto, Forex, futures or bonds, your mental fortitude will be an area you need to be aware of and focus on. A common problem and struggle amongst traders is due to the recency effect. Don’t worry, I’m not going to go down the deep dark rabbit hole of a textbook and lecturing you in theory about the recency effect. I’m going to show you some of my personal day trading results that perfectly illustrate how this annoyance works within the real world of trading. Along with that, I will show you how I personally deal with this annoyance whenever it arises and begins to influence my trading results.
