Our goal is to make money through our ideas and this goal is often thwarted by the adverse behavior of the market. We are faced with a loss instead of a gain and this can frustrate us. If we tell ourselves that other market participants are somehow cheating or gaming the system, our frustration can turn to anger. Once we're worked up in the flight-or-fight mode, we can make subsequent reactive decisions, turning one loss into many more.
