How to Become Emotionless

its a very good lines that may be you have post emotionally , to bring success with certainly is not a minor issue in fx trading , if you cant control the emotions level, i think you have to forget about the trophy. thats all.

1. Trade smaller lots.
2. Experience.

Different people have different trading styles. One way can be entering several trade setups with small lots rather than putting it all on 1 or 2 big trades with high lots.

This way I know can take control over emotions, accept the small losses and move on.

That is the thing about trading, the whole of personality gets tested There are certain technics on how to control, bypass or DETACH (from) emotions... I recommend one either gets familiar with those and/or semi-automate trades as much as he/she can... I also love the SET and FORGET approach... I think watching market tick-by-tick is the hardest.. if it is advised at all... at least for longer periods... although 5min seems like 50min to me...

That is a great way of putting it! Detaching yourself from your emotions is a much better approach than suppressing them.

become emotionless completely possible when someone dies , otherwise not. but of course it can be controlled by someone who is a man of focus , practice and discipline. real cool mind very rare fall emotions when trading in a real account.

I don't think the numbness caused by emotional trauma is the same as the deliberate calmness that is required when one trades.

That was precise and important.

True. If you are not experienced, avoid opening positions with large lots, your life as a trader will become much easier.

Write down a plan and trade it. It helps.

I think it is very difficult for us to become emotionless because we are humane not robots but still can avoid emotions with having good strategy and trade according to trends of the market like a pro.

Sometimes we can not control when we are trading in practical, so it is better to depend on automated trading.

die by covid 19 and be emotionless , i think its only way to be that . by the way dont take anyone personally , its a fun post.

I know it is meant to be funny but come on, do you really not think about how this pandemic has affected not just us but also our loved ones? Many people died from that diseases.

Controlling the emotions is the one of the most difficult aspect that you will come in your trading journey. There is no easy or shortcut way to handle your emotion

Emotionless?!? Hello?
Who is The Idiot behind that bright instruction?

Why have so many comments suggested psychological damage to gain an advantage in trading? I know they're supposed to be silly and not to be taken literally but it's still a bizarre approach.

Always try to take decisions from your mind, not from your heart.

Emotions are the greatest source of energy. So why would you want to be emotionless?

They are the bridge between subconscious and the conscious mind. We subconsciously intake enormous amounts of information(visual, smells, noises,..). Emotions are alerts from the subconscious to the conscious mind to pay attention to _something_.

When in a dangerous situation, such as confronted by a lion, it's natural that the fear kicks in. If you don't do something, you are done. It's time to fight or flight.


The thing with trading though is, it requires you to be calm and focused. There are no real threats, only perceived ones. Your life will never be physically endangered, but the subconscious mind can not tell the difference between the real and imagined. Same anxiety and fear can kick in, as if you were sat next to a lion.

You have to train your mind to stay calm, focused and collected when it's time to perform. You will still feel the emotions. But it's about what you do with them. Take them as information, act accordingly, then forget about it. Use it as informaiton, act on it and discard. You can control how it will make you feel, but it takes practice.


Although i would argue that most of the feelings/emotions that traders get is due to the in-experience. Your mind is telling you something. That you don't know what you are doing!!!

Well said, the moment we think from the heart, we lose the game.

Trade systematically, meaning you enter and exit trades based on the trading signals generated by your trading strategy precisely.

The pre-requisite for that is, of course, your strategy need to have an edge over the market for you to become successful by trading its signals.

Here is a video where I shared how to become a systematic trader:
