Amygdala

Stress Resilience

The brain's alarm system that triggers fear and panic responses. A small almond-shaped region in your brain that processes emotions, especially fear. When you see your trade going against you, your amygdala activates before your logical brain can catch up, which is why you feel panic before you can think clearly. Example: When your position drops 5% suddenly, your amygdala fires a 'danger' signal that makes your heart race and hands sweat - even though this might be normal market movement.
