Dopamine
Stress Resilience
The 'reward chemical' that makes winning feel amazing - and can create trading addiction. A brain chemical released when you experience pleasure or anticipate rewards. Winning trades release dopamine, which feels great but can lead to risk-seeking behavior as you chase that feeling. Example: That incredible high you feel after a big winning trade? That's dopamine. It's also why you might take bigger risks on your next trade - you're unconsciously chasing that dopamine hit again.
