As the year winds down, many traders feel an uncomfortable urge to finish the year strong. One more trade. One last push. A need to finally close the loop. But that pressure often does more harm than good.
In this episode, Agnieszka Wood and Greg Singleton unpack the psychology behind year-end trading pressure and the human need for closure, including why unfinished results, missed goals, and emotional loops stay so active in the mind — and why chasing a “clean ending” often undermines consistency.
They also discuss a healthier way to review your trading year without pressure or self-punishment. This conversation is for traders who want to end the year clear-headed, grounded, and positioned for long-term consistency — not emotionally exhausted.
