A viral video that is circulating on social media platform shows that a trader blowing the trade chart for apparently raising the price.Trading decisions should be based on strategy and market analysis, not emotions, hope or panic.
The market does not respond to emotions
The video might look a little funny when the person is blowing the trade chart in the computer screen but it’s a really important lesson that’s clear for anyone that works in the stock market, you can’t control prices with hope, excitement or emotions.
Trading is mentally demanding. When a position goes against a trader it’s natural to feel nervous and wish for the market to turn around. Greed and excitement can be the opposite problem and traders will take a bigger risk than they originally planned.
Fear and Greed affect decisions
Fear and greed are two of the most common emotions in trading. Fear can lead traders to exit positions too soon especially when markets are volatile. Greed, on the other hand, can force traders to keep a profitable position for so long, or they take too much risk in order to make even more money.
There is another sort of very strong emotion: hope. Hope can be dangerous when a trader is still in a losing position because he wants the market to reverse. And rather than following predetermined risk limits, the trader begins to wait for the outcome they want.
Me: Never trade with emotions.

The funny video has a serious message
The trader blowing toward the screen may make viewers laugh, but the message is that you do not force a chart to rise. Whether you look at a chart for a few minutes or think about market moves for hours, the price will follow market forces not your hopes and dreams.
Trading should be based on research, risk management and discipline, not panic, excitement or hope. If a trade is headed in the wrong direction the answer is not to blow harder at the screen. It is to think about the strategy and take a decision with the strategy. In the stock market, emotions can influence the trader but they cannot control the market.
