Fear of missing out (FOMO)

The urge to enter a trade because price is already moving without you.

In plain English

FOMO entries tend to happen late, with wide stops or none, at the point where the move is most extended. A written entry rule is the practical defence.

Example

Buying after a 30% daily rise because “it’s still going” rather than because the plan’s conditions are met.
