Here are ways to overcome each of the 5 trader problems:
1. Emotional control
Solutions:
Implement a strict trading system with clear entry/exit rules.
Take a timeout after losses - rest and regain objectivity.
Practice meditation or breathing techniques to reduce stress.
Do not risk money that you cannot afford to lose.
2. Breaking trading strategy
Solutions:
Keep a trading plan for each day or week (entry levels, goals, risk).
Partially automate trading: for example, use limit orders and stops.
Analyze deviations from the plan - why did you break the strategy?
Reward yourself for discipline, not just for profit.
3. Overtrading
Solutions:
Limit the number of trades per day/week.
Use a checklist before entering a trade (strategy compliance, risk/reward, etc.).
Focus on quality, not quantity - better to have 1 accurate trade than 10 random ones.
Set a trading schedule to avoid being in the market constantly.
4. Lack of risk management
Solutions:
Never risk more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade.
Set stop-losses in advance and do not move them without a good reason.
Use diversification - do not trade only one instrument.
Periodically review position sizes as your deposit changes.
5. Lack of analysis and self-reflection
Solutions:
Keep a trader's journal: record the date, idea, entry/exit, result, emotions.
Conduct a weekly review of trades - look for patterns and mistakes.
Compare real trading with testing (on demo or in backtesting).
Learn from your mistakes - repeating the same errors is especially dangerous.
