Sharing some thoughts on trading emotions:

Emotions are important in trading, but their significance depends on what stage you are in.

For trading beginners, emotions hold no value. All attention should be focused on refining an executable mechanical strategy—clear rules, high-frequency feedback, and absolute discipline. At this stage, feelings only serve as distractions.

In the 'overtrading' stage, emotional issues begin to become deadly. People at this stage have started to familiarize themselves with market rules but often get led by emotions during profit and loss fluctuations. Once emotions spiral out of control, the brain's hormone levels become chaotic, making it impossible to analyze calmly or capture the most critical details in trading progress.

For seasoned traders, emotions are no longer the enemy. They become part of the strategy and an element of risk control; at this point, emotions are not suppressed but used as tools that go with the flow.

To go back to the beginning, if someone is at the initial stage of trading and repeatedly emphasizes 'emotional management,' it usually indicates one thing: they have neither much money nor a well-formed strategy.
