Confidence has never been an issue for me. From high school to university, I’ve always stood out in presentations and public speaking. This confidence has served me well in many areas of life—but in forex trading, I’ve learned that unchecked confidence can become a major barrier to success.
Overconfidence can make you feel invincible, as if you’re above the market. I’ve had moments where I felt like a “god of Nasdaq” or the “Nasdaq King,” believing I couldn’t be wrong. But the reality is, no trader is immune to losses.
In trading, confidence is essential, but it must be managed responsibly. A key lesson I’ve learned is to always acknowledge the possibility of being wrong. That’s why risk management is crucial—using stop losses and proper position sizing ensures that when a trade goes against you, it doesn’t wipe out your account.
Outside of trading, confidence is a powerful tool for success. But within the markets, it must be balanced with discipline, humility, and risk awareness. Overconfidence can be the downfall of even the most skilled traders. The key is to use confidence to our advantage—not let it become a weapon against us.
