Emotional trading is when you make trading decisions based on your feelings, rather than on sound logic and analysis. This can lead to a number of pitfalls, including:

Overtrading: When you're feeling excited or greedy, you may be tempted to trade more often than you should. This can lead to losses, as you're more likely to make mistakes when you're not thinking clearly.
Revenge trading: If you lose money on a trade, you may be tempted to try to "win it back" by taking another trade immediately, even if it's not a good setup. This is often referred to as revenge trading, and it can lead to even bigger losses.

Holding on to losing trades: When you're feeling fearful or hopeful, you may be tempted to hold on to a losing trade longer than you should. This is because you may be afraid of losing even more money, or you may be hoping that the trade will eventually turn around in your favor. However, the longer you hold on to a losing trade, the more money you're likely to lose.

Ignoring your trading plan: When you're feeling emotional, you may be more likely to ignore your trading plan. This can lead to making impulsive decisions that you later regret.

Fear: A trader may be afraid of missing out (FOMO) on a winning trade and enter a trade without doing their proper research.

Greed: A trader may see that a stock is going up rapidly and decide to hold on to it for too long, even though it has already reached its predetermined profit target.

Hope: A trader may be losing money on a trade, but they keep holding on to it in the hope that it will eventually turn around.

Regret: A trader may have lost money on a previous trade and feel the need to make it back right away, even if it means taking a risky trade.
