PSYCHOLOGY
 

Like all performance-based activities, trading depends on your ability to execute what you have learned in real time.
Making decisions about entry and exit in a timely fashion; eliminating hesitation and doubt from your actions; developing the ability to deliver smooth and accurate trading orders; becoming easy and comfortable with the challenge of seeing new market conditions arise and modifying or reversing your opinion and taking action on this new perception easily and without hesitation – these are very real challenges and many traders are not able to develop them, no matter how hard they work at it.

 


Much depends on your ability to remain balanced and on your ability to function in an unemotional, confident manner.

All of this can be boiled down onto one statement – emotion plays no part in trading. The fewer emotions we experience, the better it is for trading. But we are all human and concede that to have no emotions whatsoever when trading, ever, is a difficult and perhaps impossible goal.

However, since thoughts and emotions are a constant companion, a mainstay of our inner lives, then we have to learn how to deal with them appropriately before we will become successful.
