What I have observed is most trading mistakes don’t come from bad analysis but come from emotional timing?

One thing I have noticed after watching traders for years:
People rarely struggle to find setups.
They struggle with:
1. entering too early because of FOMO
2. refusing to cut losses
3. taking profits too fast
4. revenge trading after one bad trade
5. getting overconfident after a winning streak
The chart is often not the real problem.
Psychology is.
A mediocre strategy with strong discipline usually survives longer than a great strategy with emotional decision-making.
how others see this:
To be honest, What has hurt your trading more:
1. bad analysis
2. poor risk management
3. Or emotions?
