How to trade successfully without emotions and ego running the show.
Are emotions a trader’s worst enemy?
In many cases, the answer is yes. Without really even knowing, traders get caught up in a whirlwind of emotional trading where greed, fear, revenge, and overconfidence are calling the shots.
On the one hand, it’s tempting to believe that trading ‘like a machine’ would result in far better outcomes. No emotions, no mistakes — right?
Unfortunately, there are a few problems with that approach. For one, traders are human beings. They can’t avoid feeling emotions.
Second, emotions don’t always lead traders astray. They can offer traders valuable information that can help them to learn and grow.
Emotions become problematic when they rule a trader’s decisions.
Rather than attempting to shut off their emotions, I propose that the trader’s real work is to know and understand them.
By getting curious and inquisitive, it becomes possible to get to know and observe these emotions and their effects. These are vital steps to keeping emotions in check.
