The True Believer
Believes in the position — long after the chart stops agreeing.
You're patient — with the wrong trades. Winners get closed fast to "lock it in"; losers get held, and hoped over, and averaged down. This is the textbook disposition effect (Shefrin & Statman): sell winners too soon, ride losers too long. It quietly inverts your risk:reward.
Disposition effect + sunk-cost fallacy. You hold losers longer than winners — the exact opposite of what the math rewards.

- +Willing to give trades room to work

It is an excellent mirror and starting point — your true, data-driven profile comes from your actual trade history in the app.
