Trading Psychology

A lot of traders can actually feel their emotions in place when they place their trades. 
And seeing their trades taking place.


Emotions include:
- Heart Thumping (Beating faster)
- Sense of Anxiety
- Nervousness
- Excitement
- Irrational Behavior
- Frustration
- Desperation
- Hatred & Revenge mindset
- Devastated
- Always feel that the market is going against you
- Etc,

If you feel any of the above in trading, it is normal. 
The market is set for you to feel this way. 
Which is why to be a successful trader, 80% is about conquering and mastering trading psychology. 
And some of the reasons that you could be feeling any of the emotions above include:


- You are trading way beyond your risk level (Trading too high an amount of your capital)
- You have not calculated your proper risk size before entering
- You entered based on Gut feel
- You fully expect and anticipate that the market will go your way according to
your previous experience or something which you had learnt – but it Didn’t..
- You are trading on a money that you desperately need. (Eg. borrowed money,
food money, life saving money etc..)
- Etc.

If you have experienced the above, stop trading for the moment..

Remedy:

- Go get a shower and analyze what had gone wrong
- Go for a stroll in the park, beach etc..
- Self Reflection
- Meditation, calming exercise
Ask yourself, are you trading the right way?
Are you actually trading or gambling?
Do you have a proper trading system?
Did you entered on proper setups (eg. price action) or you entered based on your gut feel?


Trading is about self analyzing, discipline, self control, and sticking to your trading system. It may sound tough at first, but once you start practicing the stuffs here for 20 days. It will then become part of you and you are no longer putting any conscious effort in applying the above.

FEAR STRIKES OUT
Rumor and rumors of rumors finally took over common sense and fear was at a premium. The VIX soared to a four year high as "sell stocks and ask questions later" became the mood for the day. Rumors about a French credit downgrade and the health of some French banks created a selling frenzy. Forget that all those rumors were denied by all major reporting agencies, when traders are blinded by fear they might believe almost anything. When people trade irrationally there can be some marvelous opportunities for those that keep a calm head and a keen eye. The best way to combat fear is to have a plan that seeks to find moves that are overdone based on reality and to doggedly control your risk. If you have a solid plan that you stick to then fear goes away and you can take advantage of what the market brings you. Jimmy Piersall was crazy and he has papers to prove it and I may be crazy(not endorsed by any rating agency) but as bad as things are (and they are bad) they are not as nearly as bad as yesterday's market action would have you believe. Now I'll admit that some fear was totally justified especially last week but now for many stocks and some commodities, it is getting a little bit silly. I am not calling a stock market bottom necessarily, but at the same time a lot of stocks are ridiculously oversold due to fear and the loss of any rational thinking. When you trade by fear you will make bad decisions.

Fear strikes out and so will you.
The best way to combat fear is to have a plan which includes taking your losses if necessary only so you will have the capital to take advantage of the values that those driven by fear will give you. If volatility is too much for you, stay on the sidelines because if you had a good plan you should be out and you can then wait for...........
