1215 - The Certainty Effect: Why Traders Cut Winning Strategies Short

The Trading Coach Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the psychology of the certainty effect—the human tendency to value guaranteed outcomes over uncertain ones, even when the uncertain path has better odds. You’ll see how this bias shows up in trading, why so many traders abandon profitable strategies too soon, and what you can do to overcome it.

If you’ve ever struggled to trust your system or let trades play out, this episode will give you the perspective (and laughs) you need to stay consistent.
