The Psychology Behind LIVE Tradin : Welcome to the Arena of Real-Time Decisions
7/17/2025, 1:43:54 PM
Live trading is where your strategy meets your psychology and most traders crumble at that exact intersection. In last Friday’s powerful Trading Psychology Series session, Paulina, our in-house trading psychology coach at FundingPips, broke down why traders lose control the moment the market goes live.
Whether it’s freezing, panicking, overtrading, or skipping setups, it has less to do with your edge and more to do with how your brain reacts under pressure. And this session came just in time for the official launch of Tradin TV on July 15, where for the first time ever, traders witnessed the real-time psychology, conversations, and executions of our top professionals live on stream. Tradin TV Has Officially Launched – And It’s Changing the Game
On Tuesday, July 15, Tradin TV by FundingPips went LIVE and it was nothing short of a game changer within the industry.
First episode was hosted by our CEO Khaled Ayesh, with guest appearances from Raja Banks and Umar Punjabi, the first episode gave viewers exactly what they’d been asking for: raw, real time trading with unfiltered psychology.
Now running every day during the New York session, Tradin TV features:
Top FundingPips traders, including Success Story Traders
Real-time chart breakdowns
In the moment psychological commentary
And Paulina herself, joining in to highlight the emotional side of trading
If you missed the launch, you can still catch the replay and join the ongoing streams. Traders are already calling it the “live trading floor experience we never had, but always needed.”
🧠 Why You Don’t Trade the Way You Practice
During last Friday’s Live Trading Psychology session we discussed that:
"The market isn’t your enemy. Your brain is."
You can backtest for months and feel in control until the moment you enter a live position. That’s when cortisol spikes (your stress hormone), your hands shake, and your system suddenly vanishes.
Key reasons why you freeze in live trading:
Fear of losing what’s “real” money
Over attachment to outcomes
Adrenaline overriding logic
Unconscious beliefs sabotaging execution
The Hidden Mental Traps Sabotaging You
We broke down the most common psychological traps traders fall into and how they show up in live trading:
🔄 Overtrading
You’re chasing dopamine, not data.
📌 Fix: Cap trades per day, even winning trades.
🤯 Performance Anxiety
You hesitate, skip setups, or second guess your edge.
📌 Fix: Checklist before every trade. Remove pressure from “being right.”
🏃♂️ Closing Winners Early
You crave safety, not profit.
📌 Fix: Trust your plan. Walk away. Let your TPs hit without interference.
🧨 Revenge Trading
You want justice, not profit.
📌 Fix: Loss limit + walk-away rule. No trade “owes” you anything.
💥 Perfectionism
You wait for a setup that doesn’t exist.
📌 Fix: Trade the bias, not the fantasy. Accept that imperfection is part of the edge.
Tradin TV = A Real-Time Psychology Classroom

🧘♀️ Paulina’s Final Message: It’s Not About Emotion Removal. It’s About Response Control.
“You can’t remove emotion. You can slow down your thoughts and manage how you respond.”
