This phenomenon observes each trader at the first bargains irrespective of he knows about problems of trading or simply emotionally reacts to trading results. He, probably, will learn to “hide” the emotional reactions to a certain extent, but if he is not inclined by the nature to think without emotions, he will emotionally react; also it will be appreciable in his subsequent trade.
