Mastering the 3 Fears that Haunt Every Trader
Overcoming complexity, FOMO, and fear of failure as a day trader
In the world of day trading, fear wears many masks.
Every day trader is on the same quest: to make money on the options market with as little risk exposure as possible.
For a trader to manage fear, they ultimately have to solve the problem of risk that threatens their savings and the soundness of mind that enables them to execute a profitable strategy.
With the right tools and guidance, anyone can master the fears that are every trader's common enemy. But first, they need to be named.
So what exactly are day traders so afraid of?
Fear of Complexity
Trading is a famously complex ecosystem. Just one look at an expert trader’s desktop tech stack tells you everything you need to know about how complicated trading can be.
Options trading seems to invite voluntary over-complication. Some will see it as a mark of prestige to be able to stack dozens of tickers, trackers, and other windows on their trading array. It feels like a challenge to be mastered, but is it really necessary?
This strategy will exhaust most traders before they ever arrive at a comprehension of this mystifying matrix of data.
Dialing back the complexity of trading has been our mission at Jarvis from day one. The more traders we can introduce to single-screen trading that gets results, the more retail traders we’ll see armed with the confidence to win.
FOMO
If hindsight is indeed 20/20, a day trader’s hindsight could peer across the galaxy with the clarity of the Hubble Telescope.
Trading weaves a visual tapestry each day, chronicling with crystalline clarity every runner that left the station without us and every profit cashed out too soon. Exposure to this daily dressing down can amplify a trader’s self-doubt and skew their strategy to become emotionally affected.
Fear Of Missing Out lures traders into premature entries that risk capital loss. It even makes us regret winning a trade because we could have won even harder if we’d held on through one more fake-out.
We can't know the future, but greed tempts every trader to say, "I should have secured more profit" on even their biggest wins. Once a trader's daily plan is abandoned, that's where mistakes and losses begin to multiply.
Even with Jarvis' highly accurate entry signals, it can be shockingly difficult to resist the temptation to recklessly dive in on an entry the moment you see movement. But trusting Jarvis gets results.
Our Discord moderators preach patience. We understand FOMO because none of us are exempt from its allure. But we’ve learned wisdom through years of trading and are eager to help more traders exchange FOMO for gratitude and learning so they can approach every day with excitement.
Fear of Failure
Perhaps the ultimate fear of traders is that they would fail before they’ve “made it.”
Day trading can be an incredibly successful career, but for those worried it might not work out for them, it represents the risk of losing months of their lives gambling away their savings.
Longevity in trading is about avoiding losses, and with Jarvis, that’s our specialty.
Not every software or trading program can truly claim to provide risk mitigation, but Jarvis’ trade signals routinely predict profitable runs, and traders are far less likely to get caught out in a reversal when following these proven entry signals.
Jarvis' stop-loss cloud provides a guide to setting reasonable and disciplined stops that prevent excessive capital loss on each trade. We are always finding new ways to add features like this to make Jarvis the most complete companion to simplify profitable trading.
Fearless Trading
At Jarvis, we believe the future of trading is an optimistic space for traders who grow in their skills, carry less anxiety, and truly enjoy the ride.
We want every trader to share our enthusiasm that every day is a great day to trade.
It’s never been simpler to find your way to fearless trading.

Trade Scalping - How Small Successes Make Huge Portfolios
Have you ever woken up, poured your homemade dark roast, powered on your display, and logged into trading accounts humming with anticipation…only to be met with hours of channeling?
Some days, the market isn’t in the mood to move.
As traders, we don’t control the market’s behavior, but we can respond in ways that set us up to profit even on the calmest of days. If you’re looking to maximize returns on a mild market day, trade scalping is a strategy you’ll want to learn to take what the market is willing to give.
With Jarvis’ help, you can turn repeated small wins into a portfolio you’re proud of.
What is Trade Scalping?
The traditional model of scalping is typified by these characteristics:
- Entering 10+ trades in a single day
- Taking modest profits on 1-10 minute holds
- Tight stop-loss orders to mitigate risk
- Trade in correct time interval. Recommended 1-minute
Scalping works when traders are confident they can take a profit quickly. It requires iron discipline, and a zero-commissions broker is a must-have.
This strategy is important for any trader to understand because it teaches valuable disciplines and rewards small gains. But with Jarvis, the standard parameters of scalping look a bit different.
Scalping Hits Different with Jarvis
Since Jarvis signals only a small number of high-quality entry points in a day, our scalping approach differs from that of the traditional with lower volume and higher yield.
- Trades Per Day— Executing more than 3-5 trades per day using Jarvis usually means unnecessary exposure to risk and emotion. Traditional scalpers might take upwards of 20 or sometimes 50 trades a day!
- Trade Duration - By any standards, trade scalping is all about short-term exits, usually after less than 12 minutes.
- Profit Yield - A typical scalper might aim for a profit as small as 1% on numerous daily trades, but with Jarvis, a 15-20% profit represents a modest gain and compensates for lower volume.
Scalping does not need to be your sole strategy when trading with Jarvis, but it absolutely offers value in markets lacking volatility.
Is Trade Scalping Profitable?
Is it possible to be profitable with the low-yield strategy of scalping on Jarvis? Consider this:
Would you rather hit 1 trade for a 3,000% return or 30 consecutive trades with a 20% return?
Let’s do some math. Assuming your initial investment is $1,000, the first equation is pretty straightforward.
$1,000 x 30 = $30,000
Everyone loves to be in that trade. It’s also an extreme outlier, so please remember we’re using this example for science.
Now check this out.
20% profit, 30 times.
1000 x 1.2^30 = $237,376
Nearly 8x more than the life-changing single trade! This illustrates the power of turning modest profits into a compound interest game.
Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. -Albert Einstein
This is not a promise of success—no one executes 30 trades without taking losses, including Jarvis users. Instead, it conveys the exponential power of modest successes enhanced over the long term.
Do not underestimate the discipline of being content with your small wins!
Conclusion
With Jarvis, scalping does not need to be your entire strategy. This software absolutely will position you for mind-blowing trades when you use it daily.
Successful scalping will fill out your portfolio with profitable trades. This helps you rightly see the value in low-yield trades, exposes you to routine wins, and gives your trade strategy the legs to go the distance.
We’re excited to see how Jarvis opens the door for users to redefine small wins and help more traders see each market day as a great day to trade!
