The infographic by foxytrades.com goes over the main emotions that affect our trading results.
Professional traders consider emotions as the key thing that hurts their trading results. While beginners aren’t even aware that emotions hurt their results. All they think about is finding the best strategy to use for trading. While strategy is important, paying attention to your emotions is even more so.
The first step towards fighting the emotions is to pay attention to them. Once you do, you will recognise when they appear and acknowledge them before letting emotions affect your trading decisions.

This infographic presents some insight into the conflict between emotions and making effective trading decisions. Each situation is accompanied by a visual vignette with a character engaging with the situation in some way. While there are some differences between the scenes and the content, the consistent character use creates an effective visual narrative. The points identified in the content are helpful, though they seem a little unorganized — a slight restructuring could help trace a trader's journey and avoid the semblance of repetition. Some of the repetition may be felt in the sentence-based approach; tightening this might help a reader feel more engaged with the problems and solutions identified here. Overall, there's some helpful information here and an engaging visual approach, but it needs a bit more structural development to achieve its full impact. We'd give this a D.
