What Does FOMO Mean in Trading?What Does FOMO Mean in Trading? FOMO, or the fear of missing out, is a common emotion that traders experience. It is more than just an internet slang term. This powerful phenomenon can have a negative impact on trading decisions, leading to impulsive actions and poor risk management. This FXOpen article explores the psychology of FOMO, discusses how to identify it in trading, and shares strategies you may use to overcome it. FOMO: What Does It Mean? FOMO meaning in trading can be explained as follows: it is the psychological need for validation and the fear of being left behind. It can stem from various feelings and emotions, including greed, jealousy, and impatience. The Social Proof When traders see others making quick profits or getting on the next big trend, they often feel compelled to jump in as well. From newsworthy events to something as simple as a conversation with another trader, there are many things that can kick off a bout of FOMO. This phenomenon is closely tied to social proof, where people look to others for guidance, especially in uncertain situations. People tend to follow the actions of others to conform to social norms. Traders who give in to FOMO are essentially following the crowd without fully understanding the risks involved. The Fear of Regret The fear of regret is another force behind FOMO. Traders worry that if they miss out on a potentially profitable trade, they’ll regret it later. This fear can cloud their judgement and lead to hasty decisions. It can be amplified by social media and trading forums, where traders may see others boasting about their profits and feel pressure to keep up. It’s important to remember that hindsight bias often magnifies the perception of missed opportunities, making the fear of regret an even more significant driving force behind impulsive trading actions. Real-Life Examples Emotions have influenced market behaviour in many real-life situations. FOMO in the stock market is very typical. For example, during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, investors rushed to buy stocks from the technology sector, driving up prices to unsustainable levels. Similarly, during the GameStop short squeeze of 2021, retail traders on Reddit’s Wallstreetbets forum drove up the price of the stock. As a result of this situation, GameStop stock rose nearly 2,000% in less than a month. And then, it all came crashing down, leading to significant losses for some investors. The cryptocurrency* market has witnessed countless FOMO-induced rallies when many invested in highly speculative assets without proper due diligence. A classic example is the sharp rise of Bitcoin in 2017. When the price soared, the fear of missing out on the benefits gripped many, leading to a buying frenzy, and shortly thereafter, prices plummeted. Identifying FOMO in Trading A FOMO trader’s experience looks like this: A trader hears news of astounding profits or very attractive opportunities. Greed and excitement encourage them to buy overpriced assets as much as possible. When the prices fall, fear or even anxiety forces the trader to sell at a loss. The trader becomes impatient, and the cycle repeats. To avoid falling into this trap and losing money on ill-considered purchases and sales, it is essential to understand when FOMO appears in decision-making. This can be done by assessing the key features of behaviour associated with this emotion. Common signs include: Making impulsive trades without proper analysis or risk management. Following the crowd and making decisions based on what others are doing. Feeling anxious or stressed about missing out on opportunities. Overtrading or taking on too much risk in an attempt to catch up. Self-awareness is key to recognising FOMO-driven actions. Traders take the time to reflect on their motivations before making any trading decisions. If you feel like you need to take a “now or never” action, have a break, write down the idea and emotion in a notebook, and try to use techniques to control your emotions. If, after that, the desire to buy or sell the asset remains and can be logically explained, do it. Fear can appear in trading any asset; for example, there is FOMO in forex, in stock trading, FOMO in commodities, and more. It doesn’t apply to only one type of trading. To avoid it, you need to analyse the market thoroughly and plan your actions. This is where the TickTrader platform can help you. There, users can find the most advanced analysis tools and charts free of charge. The Consequences of FOMO Succumbing to FOMO can have significant negative consequences. Traders who act on FOMO may make decisions that are not based on sound analysis, leading to poor performance over time. Let’s consider the main consequences. Traders who act on FOMO tend to make more trades than necessary, resulting in higher transaction costs and increased exposure to market risks. FOMO often leads to neglecting risk management strategies. Traders may avoid setting stop-loss orders or ignore position sizing rules, which can amplify the impact of losses when they occur. FOMO-driven decisions can lead to buying at inflated prices and selling at rock bottom, eroding capital and diminishing confidence. How to Overcome FOMO Now that you know FOMO meaning on the stock and forex market, let’s find out how to deal with it. To overcome FOMO, traders can: Have a well-designed trading plan. Develop a clear and comprehensive trading plan that outlines your strategies, risk tolerance, and position sizing. Avoid making impulsive trades based on social proof or fear of regret. Practise self-awareness and reflect on emotions and motivations before making any trading decisions. Use risk management techniques to limit losses. Set stop-loss orders and limit your position sizes to protect your capital. It’s important to remember that FOMO affects traders of all levels and can be difficult to overcome. However, with practice and discipline, traders can learn to manage their emotions and make more rational decisions. Final Thoughts FOMO is a common emotion that traders experience, but it can have a negative impact on results. The consequences of FOMO emphasise the need for self-reflection. By using risk management techniques, traders can overcome FOMO and make more rational decisions. Remember, trading is a marathon, not a sprint, so you need time, discipline, and consistency.

MicroSoft Takes Another Turn With Move to Bring ‘Call of Duty" Microsoft's gaming strategy has taken a significant turn with the reported move to bring Call of Duty to Xbox Game Pass. The Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) plans to debut 2024's new Call of Duty at next month's Xbox Games Showcase, alongside the announcement that it will be available on Game Pass on its launch day. Microsoft's bet seems to be that Call of Duty on its Game Pass subscription service will spur a new wave of interest in both the service and the Xbox as a platform. While rumors persist that Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) will raise the price or add new tiers to Game Pass in the near future, it would still let a single person play the new Call of Duty for a couple of months for less than the $70 cost of the base game. This could cannibalize the game's overall sales, particularly on the Xbox platform. In theory, this could authoritatively confirm or deny Microsoft's portrayal of the Game Pass service as a "discovery engine," where players frequently try games before they buy them. This could bring in a new wave of interest from people who might otherwise never have tried a new Call of Duty or might give a few million casual players an excuse to not buy this year's edition of the game. As we learned last summer during Microsoft's court battle with the FTC over its Activision acquisition, Call of Duty by itself makes up a non-trivial amount of the video game audience. If Microsoft had simply decided to make Call of Duty a console exclusive on Xbox, it would have pulled roughly 7 million players away from Sony's PlayStation 4 and 5 systems. Instead, the reported plan is to let the game stay cross-platform, but to use it to drive Game Pass subscriptions. The Call of Duty gamble, if it happens, would be the latest in a series of recent Xbox controversies. Microsoft's gaming arm was in good shape at the start of the year, with Xbox topped Windows in revenue for the first time, and its major competitors on console didn't have much left in the tank. Microsoft then announced earlier this month that it would shutter several of its studios, all of which were subsidiaries of Bethesda Softworks. This was the latest in a series of layoffs and shutdowns that has ravaged the international video game industry for the last 18 months, including 1,900 lost jobs at Xbox in January. It's unlikely that next month's Showcase and the attendant Call of Duty reveals are a make-or-break moment for the Xbox project overall. Instead, it's more likely that Call of Duty on Game Pass will be a final test for Xbox's current operational strategy. If this falls through, the next move is a big executive shakeup, followed by a series of new initiatives. The upcoming year will either vindicate or vilify Spencer's time as head of Xbox, which could either take Call of Duty down a peg or lock it in place as the most valuable IP in the modern games industry.

Billiam Yates (TGR - pt.3)I've made good profit playing MSFT calls over the past year. But now I'm seeing evidence that a major top is in, and there will be some explosive downside near/mid term. Sell zone is 410-420 (so if it goes to 420 I'll take that as a gift to load June puts). Expecting the reversal to the downside to begin by May 10th. Target 1 = 399 by 5/17 Target 2 = 390 by 5/31 This is setting up for further downside to 380s at least, probably a lot lower. ~Sincerely Willy G.

Microsoft Set to Rival Google and OpenAI On Development of MAI-1Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) is developing a new AI language model, MAI-1, to compete with Google and OpenAI. Under the supervision of Mustafa Suleyman, former Google DeepMind co-founder, the model aims to surpass the capabilities of Google and OpenAI. MAI-1 is expected to surpass Microsoft's previous smaller, open-source models in size and capability, potentially signaling higher costs. The purpose of MAI-1 is yet to be fully determined and is contingent upon its performance. The model's unveiling may occur during Microsoft's upcoming Build developer conference. Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) recently introduced Phi-3-mini, a smaller AI model, aiming to broaden its client base with cost-effective alternatives. Phi-3-mini, measuring 3.8 billion parameters, is available in the Microsoft Azure AI Model Catalog, Hugging Face, Ollama, and as an NVIDIA Corporation NIM microservice with a standard API interface. Microsoft's substantial investment in OpenAI technology and ChatGPT deployment has positioned it as a frontrunner in generative AI.

MSFT May 3, 2024: An Analysis of A Previous Consolidation ZoneAt the close of May 3, 2024, this is the second week NASDAQ:MSFT touched the 30-weekly MA and bounced back. Let’s look at a recent time when NASDAQ:MSFT was also trading around its 30-week MA for a while before resuming an uptrend. That was during September and November 2023 (an area where I use the yellow arrow to point to). Below we will zoom in to this area and make some analysis on the daily chart. Let’s look at the session on Oct 30, 2023, where I point to with the yellow arrow. The second pane is the Relative Strength Line There are a few things we can notice here First, there is a consolidation zone forming from the beginning of October 2023 before this breakout. Second, the consolidation zone is above the MA-20/50/150/200. Especially, the MA-20 (green) and MA-50 (blue) are very closed to each other. Third, if you look at the period before that, from August to October, which I marked with 2 white rectangle, we can see that that short-term volatility contracted relative to the long-term volatility, indicating a contraction zone here. Lastly, if we look at the relative strength, it goes up all the way during this consolidation, making a new high before the stock itself. Those are the combination of many factors: a pattern, contraction zone, moving averages, relative strength, suggesting a buy point for the stock. It is not simply a support from a 30-week MA, but many other technical characteristics. Therefore, I expect to see similar characteristics to happen now to enter this stock again, i.e., The relative strength should cross above its EMA-21 which is likely to happen next week if the overall market continues to act well The MA-20 should cross above MA-50 The price should be consolidating above the MA-20 and MA-50 I will update here as I will be trading NASDAQ:MSFT in the near future.
