Four Core Methods for Cultivating Top Trading Psychology
1. Mechanical Trading System
• Rules: Quantify entry, stop loss, take profit, and position sizes to eliminate subjective judgment.
• Example:
◦ Only go long when RSI < 30 + 4-hour closing price is above EMA20.
◦ Stop loss = 1% below the previous low, take profit = 3 times the stop loss distance, position size = account 2% / stop loss distance.
2. Daily Psychological Review
• Process:
1. Record the emotional state of each trade (anxiety/greed/confidence).
2. Analyze whether the rules were followed, marking emotional trading.
3. Implement “punishment” for rule violations (e.g., ban opening new positions for 3 days).
• Tools: Use Excel or TradingView note feature to create a log.
3. Stress Simulation Training
• Method:
◦ Create extreme market conditions (e.g., ±20% volatility) in a demo account to observe personal reactions.
◦ Practice calmly executing stop losses during a crash, rather than closing the screen to avoid.
• Goal: Train the brain to adapt to stress, turning discipline into muscle memory.
4. Physiological Regulation Techniques
• Scientific Basis: Elevated cortisol (stress hormone) leads to irrational decision-making.
• Practical Tips:
◦ Take 5 deep breaths before placing an order (to lower heart rate).
◦ Stay away from the market screen during positions, set alerts to replace monitoring.
◦ Regular exercise (e.g., 30 minutes of cardio daily) to reduce trading anxiety.
