DTC 11: Why Traders Struggle to Follow Their Own Rules?

This segment introduces the second part of the series, focusing on the systemic and psychological reasons why traders deviate from their trading plans. The discussion covers the critical difference between having knowledge and executing it, the role of emotions versus rationality, and how the desire to be “right” often overrules discipline. The hosts emphasize the importance of viewing rule breaking as a symptom of deeper issues, such as fear of missing out (FOMO) or unrealistic expectations.
