Sharing Staged Thoughts on Trading Emotion Management:
The weight of emotions in trading varies with different stages ——
Beginner Stage: Emotional value is zero. Core focus should be on building executable mechanical trading strategies: clear rules, high-frequency validation, strict discipline. In this stage, subjective feelings only interfere with the implementation of the strategy.
Intermediate Stage: Emotions become a critical variable. Once traders are familiar with market rules, profit and loss fluctuations can easily trigger emotional loss of control, leading to hormonal imbalance, loss of rational analysis ability, and even missing key trading detail opportunities.
Mature Stage: Emotions turn into strategy components. Experienced traders no longer see emotions as enemies, but incorporate them into the risk control system, optimizing trading decisions by aligning with emotional rhythms, achieving a shift from "fighting emotions" to "utilizing emotions."
Conclusion: If novice traders emphasize "emotion management" too early, it often reveals two major issues: a lack of capital management experience and the absence of a stable strategy framework.
