Emotions are one of the main enemies of a trader. To keep a cool mind during volatility, I adhere to a clear trading system and self-control rules.

### 🧠 How I Manage Emotions:
- **I trade only according to the plan**: before entering a position, I have clear entry/exit conditions, stop-loss, and take-profit.
- **I use small volumes**: the risk does not exceed 1-2% of the deposit, which reduces pressure and emotional involvement.
- **Regular breaks**: if I feel fear or FOMO — I take a break, do not trade 'on emotions'.

### 🪞 How I Overcome Biases:
- **I keep a trading journal** — I record trades, emotions, mistakes.
- **Retrospection**: I analyze whether decisions were rational or emotional.
- **I avoid 'confirmation bias'** — I look for not only confirmations but also refutations of the idea.

### 🔁 Discipline:
- I remind myself: **it's better not to enter a trade than to enter it incorrectly**.
- I set **alerts and automatic orders** to avoid impulsive decisions.
- I practice **meditation and physical activity** — this helps maintain balance during stressful moments.
Self-discipline is the main advantage in long-term trading.
