Is trading more of a mental challenge than a financial one?

[Flores Wynter]

People often talk about strategies, indicators, and risk management, but not enough about the psychological pressure. During volatile market swings, even small trades can feel overwhelming. Do you think short-term trading is mainly a test of emotional control? And how do you personally manage stress to avoid panic decisions?

After going through different expert option reviews, I’d say the mental side is huge. My own experience with ExpertOption showed me that the platform works, but the pressure comes from market volatility. Some days I made small profits, other days I needed to step away just to reset. I’d honestly recommend starting small, setting strict limits, and accepting that trading is not passive income — it’s an emotional game as much as a financial one.
