Once you taste trading profits, it's hard to stop. The first win feels incredible, but here's the trap: success breeds appetite. Traders who nail a few positions suddenly want bigger gains, faster returns. Risk management goes out the window. You start chasing instead of analyzing. That rush becomes addictive. Before you know it, you're overleveraged, overconfident, and one bad move away from wiping out yesterday's wins. The real skill? Knowing when to walk away.
