Trading Psychology – Conquering Your Emotions

 

A lot of traders can actually feel their emotions in place when they place their trades. And seeing their trades taking place.

 

Emotions include:

- Heart Thumping (Beating faster)

- Sense of Anxiety

- Nervousness

- Excitement

- Irrational Behavior

- Frustration

- Desperation

- Hatred & Revenge mindset

- Devastated

- Always feel that the market is going against you

- Etc,

 

If you feel any of the above in trading, it is normal. The market is set for you to feel this way.

 

Which is why to be a successful trader, 80% is about conquering and mastering trading psychology.

 

And some of the reasons that you could be feeling any of the emotions above include:

- You are trading way beyond your risk level (Trading too high an amount of your capital)

- You have not calculated your proper risk size before entering

- You entered based on Gut feel

- You fully expect and anticipate that the market will go your way according to your previous experience or something which you had learnt – but it Didn’t..

- You are trading on a money that you desperately need. (Eg. borrowed money, food money, life saving money etc..)

- Etc.

 

If you have experienced the above, stop trading for the moment.

 

Remedy:

- Go get a shower and analyze what had gone wrong

- Go for a stroll in the park, beach etc..

- Self Reflection

- Meditation, calming exercise

 

Ask yourself, are you trading the right way?

Are you actually trading or gambling?

Do you have a proper trading system?

Did you entered on proper setups (eg. price action) or you entered based on your gut feel?

 

Trading is about self analyzing, discipline, self control, and sticking to your trading system.

 

It may sound tough at first, but once you start practicing the stuffs here for 20 days. It will then become part of you and you are no longer putting any conscious effort in applying the above.

 

 

 

To an awesome trading as always,

Ezekiel Chew

I would add yoga. A good yoga school helps with stress a lot, and assuming you're a hetero male, there are plenty of women :D There's a big difference between a good school and a mediocre one, so do some research. It should help a ton.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
