In simple terms
Fear of clicking is an informal expression for hesitation when it is time to submit an order already contemplated by the plan.
Check other causes first
A missed order can follow new invalidation, unacceptable risk, a changed price, connection failure, permissions, balance, or interface trouble. Signal timestamp, order log, and a contemporaneous note separate those cases from hesitation alone.
Internal state and evidence
The full Fear in trading entry separates emotion, data, and plan. A missed trade alone does not prove fear or lack of discipline. If setup and risk remained valid and omission repeats, the journal can classify a process deviation without turning it into a psychological diagnosis.
