Some Thoughts on Trading Emotions:
Emotions are indeed important in trading, but their value depends on the stage of trading you are in.
For beginners, emotions are almost worthless. Beginners should focus on honing an executable trading strategy—clear rules, frequent feedback, and strict discipline. At this stage, emotions will only interfere with your judgment.
When entering the 'overtrading' stage, emotional issues begin to become fatal. Traders at this stage are familiar with market rules but often find themselves swayed by emotions during profit and loss fluctuations. Once emotions spiral out of control and hormone levels in the brain become chaotic, it becomes impossible to analyze calmly, let alone grasp the key details for trading improvement.
For truly seasoned traders, emotions are no longer the enemy but a part of the strategy, a component of risk management. At this point, emotional management is not about suppression but a tool to work with the market trend.
Back to the starting point, if someone repeatedly emphasizes emotional management at the beginner stage of trading, it usually indicates one thing: they neither have sufficient capital nor a mature trading strategy.
