Trading Psychology

The Trading Psychology series is written by Boris Schlossberg, a veteran currency trader and long-time educator known for breaking down complex market behavior into clear, practical ideas. His approach is grounded in real trading experience, not theory, and that comes through in the tone of these articles. He focuses less on technical setups and more on the decisions traders make under pressure, where most mistakes actually happen. The writing is direct and experience-driven, aimed at helping traders recognize their own habits and correct them before they become costly.


Across the nine articles, the message is consistent: trading success is driven by mindset, not constant strategy changes. Boris highlights the patterns that repeatedly trip traders up, chasing the open, switching systems too quickly, trading from ego, or trying to predict instead of manage risk. He reframes trading as a business built on probabilities, where consistency, patience, and discipline matter more than any single trade. The goal is not to be right, but to execute well over time.


At a higher level, these pieces reinforce a practical reality. Markets are uncertain, conditions change, and no strategy works all the time. The traders who last are the ones who can adapt, control their emotions, and stick to a repeatable process even when results fluctuate. Boris’s perspective strips away the noise and focuses on what actually moves the needle, helping traders build habits that support long term performance rather than short term wins.
