Overview

This category is intended to group articles related to the psychological aspects of futures trading. Trading psychology encompasses the mental and emotional factors that influence a trader's decision-making process, risk management, and overall performance in financial markets, particularly when dealing with leveraged instruments like crypto futures.

The goal of articles within this category is to provide neutral, factual information regarding established concepts in behavioral finance and trading psychology.

Scope and Inclusion Criteria

Articles relevant to this category should focus on the cognitive biases, emotional responses, and mental discipline required for consistent trading. Acceptable topics include, but are not limited to:

Cognitive biases affecting trading decisions (e.g., confirmation bias, anchoring).
Emotional regulation techniques relevant to trading (e.g., managing fear and greed).
The role of discipline and consistency in trading methodology.
Concepts related to risk perception and loss aversion in a trading context.
The impact of stress and fatigue on trading execution.

Articles must maintain a strictly encyclopedic and neutral tone. They should describe psychological phenomena without endorsing specific trading strategies or implying guaranteed success.

Editorial Guidelines

All editors contributing to articles categorized under Trading Psychology must adhere to the following guidelines:

Neutrality: Content must be presented factually. Avoid language that promotes specific trading styles, suggests guaranteed profits, or uses subjective superlatives.
Verifiability: Claims regarding psychological effects or established trading principles should be supported by reliable sources where appropriate.
Focus on Psychology: Articles should explain the psychological mechanism rather than providing direct trading advice. For example, an article on 'Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)' should explain the cognitive basis of FOMO, not instruct readers on when to enter a trade.
Clarity and Accessibility: Content should be written clearly, assuming a reader who understands basic futures trading concepts but may be new to behavioral finance principles.
