Why Psychology Matters in Trading
Most traders focus on strategy — entry signals, stop placement, risk-reward ratios. But research consistently shows that the gap between a trader's theoretical edge and their actual results is almost entirely behavioral.
Understanding why you deviate from your plan is the first step to closing that gap.
What MAE and MFE Tell You
- MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion): the worst drawdown a trade reached before closing
- MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion): the best profit a trade reached before closing
Comparing your actual exits to MAE/MFE reveals whether you're cutting winners too early or holding losers too long — without relying on memory.
