Why Most Traders Overtrade
Every trade you take has a cost. Not just the commission. This book explains why overtrading happens and what it actually costs - visible and invisible.
You already know you trade too much. The pattern is familiar: boredom leads to a position, a loss leads to another position, and information that means nothing leads to action anyway.
The problem isn't discipline. It's not understanding why the pattern exists.
This book explains why overtrading happens and what it actually costs - visible and invisible.
