I am also learning how to control emotions when trading, When I studied the exam, I saw many suggestions such as:
- Make a clear trading plan, which will reduce negative emotions.
- Do not observe the market constantly, observing as much as you are more likely to be tempted
- When a loss or profit more than 3 times the exam stopped, this is the hardest thing I believe a lot of people do not do.
That could be work for some people because I see that many traders cannot stop themselves in trading when they lose. The traders will want to continue trading because they know that they have a chance to recover their losses. That is what we don't realize, and if we see that we lose, our emotions will not stable, and it could lead to getting another loss. What we need to do is stay calm for a while, close the market, and leave your computer. That could help your emotions reduces, so when you come back to the market, and you will have the ability to control your emotions.
There are many other methods on how to control emotions while trading, and I think we have a different method of controlling emotion. If you feel you cannot succeed in controlling emotion with one method, you can try the other method as you need to manage your emotions.
