You may get slightly lower gains then you could have theoretically gotten, but it'll keep your money safer.

This is a very great article that everyone into business of trading like cryptocurrency should read. I have found this very helpful for my trading carrier. I had learned earlier this month not to trade impulsively but after giving all level of rational I pick my trade. No matter how well I had done my analysis before picking my trade, I still don't trade with an amount I can't lose. Bottom line is, never allow your emotions or greed enter you while trading.

1 with good preparation
2 with checklists
3 with process orientation
4 with active emotional detachment
Good preparation:
If you watch a Football game or a Boxing match usually the team or player wins that has done the better preparation. The same goes with trading. Accumulate knowledge about the subjects of trading as much as possible. Start with small amounts and small leverages until you really know what you are doing. Be consistent, create good habits early on and keep them up. Make sure that you are mentally fit, live healthy, eat well, sleep enough and regularly, and exercise enough. Have a schedule. Track your preparation, track your results and analyse them. What were mistakes you could avoid in the future?
Checklists:
When things go down and away, it is always good to have a checklist. For example: surgeons usually have checklists that prevent them to go off the rails while performing a complicated procedure. Their checklists makes it absolutely clear in which order they need to perform what step, which frees up mental brain power for the actual process. So from your past make checklists what made your trades profitable and focus on those kind of trades that have done well in your past.
Process Orientation:
With the checklist, we should be able to make good trades more often than not. All we need to do now is focus our metal brain power on the process and not on the outcome. As we have built enough expertise and a checklist that we follow, we focus on rules and our discipline, not on the outcome of a single trade, because as we all know one trade can always be good or bad, independent of how well it was thought out.
Active emotional detachment:
There is something called Tilt in Poker. Some players will actively try to insult players after bad beats to make the go tilt, or "emotional". This will result in very bad decision making. Maybe you remember Zinedine Zidane in his very last World Cup Game, head butting the italian player and getting sent of the pitch with a red card. The worst possible outcome. TILT.
If you still feel like you get emotional about trades, there are a few things you can do: Lowering your margins, lowering your leverage, take a break, breathing exercises, watch your favorite series or listen to music. Get a little distance to your trades, before continuing. NEVER trade on TILT.

Emotion is the main enemy of every trader nowadays. Specially when bear market, when you can't control your own emotions, you may lost your money in just a seconds. As a trader, we should know how to control our own emotions before anything else.
Experience plays a big role in handling emotions in trading. It can't be taken away entirely, we just need to handle it out well. I guess it still has a purpose as it guards us from being too comfortable. The thing is we just need to be knowledgeable enough to utilize it effectively and wisely.
Usually I am preparing myself to the process of trading, I listen to the calm and positive music, usually I am drinking green tea with mint. You can think that I am kidding but this is real, I'm trying to be as calm as it is possible.
Its look like easy to control our emotion but not so easy. I think it need a good experience in trading which can make you able to control yourself and take a right decision in a right time. So having good experience in trading can enable you to take a correct decision on time.

to control emotions when trading, you must be aware of the risks that you will face when working in crypto.
we also have to be patient with rising and falling market prices not in accordance with our predictions, if we are impatient our emotions will not be controlled.

To my mind, this is the best way to trade-when you don't have many emotions as they may prevent from thinking logically. you should do your best to avoid any kind of emotions, especially those which are too strong
A very emotional person cannot be a trader. IMHO. You have to be a rationalist, the man who uses his logic, not emotions. You must be ready to bear the stresses from losses and be very patient always.
the rationalist will have a hard time understanding mass psicology though.

in my opinion it should be able to trade with ease and confidence and must be able to control the patience that you have not to be lured and not to be easily emotional.

So having good experience in trading can enable you to take a correct decision on time.Lol that sounds like being meditative in trading. I think it would not be so easy though for most people especially when you're actually seeing your money slowly but surely dropping in value. But worth a try for those nervous newbies 😛
You need to first differentiate between trading and investing. They are completely different. Investing is spreading your risk around so you are not dramatically impacted by specific market moves.
Trading is where you define the asset that you will speculate on. That comes with a plan and preparation. Emotions play less a role when a plan is put into place and if the trader has established a clear plan with entry and exits. Risk parameters should be adhered to.
This can help remove some of the emotional stress when trading.
