{quote} People have been talking about meditation as a way to cope with stress a lot lately, it seems. I don't know how much it helps, but I don't think it could do any harm, at least.
Yes, it does not have direct impact on trading, but it does offers relaxation to the tense or stressful situation if one is willing to listen so that they can trade without any complex or irregular decision. I'm new to this, not sure if it helps but it might for some people.

That is pretty much my attitude too. If it works for someone then more power to them. If it doesn't it's time to try something else.

I think the biggest way to separate your emotions from trading is to remember a simple rule:

"Business is Business, leave your Emotions at the door."

That is good in theory, but how does one actually do that? Usually it's harder to achieve than just deciding you have to do it.

Probably the most practical way to control emotions in trading is to find a way to use technology and tools to help you reduce the dependency of human intervention in your trading. The more you can engineer our the human factors of trading, the more you will manage the issue of emotional control.

If you're talking about expert advisors I can't say that they have helped me much in that regard, if anything they made me even more anxious than I usually am.

In my opinion, there are many ways to skin a cat, so to speak.
I've met traders that by simply journaling their feelings, they weren't as likely to act them out, and it also left them some good clues on where to find an edge trading. At first, it might not be as detailed, and that's fine. With practice, you will become better at this!

Personally I still journal my feelings, but also practicing mindfulness has helped me a lot. Although it's not for everyone

An idea on a more technical level is to come up with a trading system that is very systematic and you trade it manually. If you are journaling your trades and your emotions/feelings, you should have a fair idea where your weaknesses are, and strengths for that matter as it will be obvious where the mistakes you made are.
Such as cutting your winners, letting your losers run or not entering a trade when the opportunity is there according to your rules etc.

could not agree more on that one, since I am maintaining my blog and have an audience that actually looks over my shoulders, things are much much more settled, I have no problem admitting wrongdoing or being lured away by some emotional stuff, its just part of life.

its also the part that gives us an edge, the part a machine can't do (yet).

Please don’t go negative , I don’t believe at any expert , when giving advice anyone can ensure good advice because there is no real money.

Basically, good emotions are not bad; bad emotions are the main issue! Since bad emotions inspire to make revenge trading.

In my opinion, there is no such thing as good or bad emotions. When dealing with probabilities you are supposed to feel bad when you have 5 losers in a row.
There are less profitable actions you can take, but your emotions never cost you a dime in trading.

I do not think that you have to become emotionless. I suggest being very confident in what you are trading in order to kill negative emotions while keeping your positive emotions in tact. After all, we should look at statistics and deliver consistent results for the next many years.

Thanks for your nice post , generally negative emotions always kill our skill and confident , because of it we trade again and again and become loser , so we have to be more confident by regular practicing.

only robot can be emotionless , no way to avoid this common human nature , but of course it can be controlled by real trading discipline.

I agree. One should learn how to deal with intense emotions related to trading so they don't affect their decision-making ability, rather than try to become emotionless altogether. The latter is both unhealthy and impossible.

become emotionless completely according to me is impossible , its a common human nature for that reason there is no way to avoid it after passing a long time in here , sometimes i use trading robot which works without emotions , when i need change i use this approach instead of manual trading.
