When a trader experiences the emotional roller coaster associated with real time trading, he soon learns that, no matter how good his system is, he will need to conquer his emotions if he is going to be able to follow it. But, a master trader is also a master of his emotions. Again, this means that he must be willing to address any issues he has that create emotional states that cause sabotaging behaviors.
Working on conquering emotions can be done on one’s own if the trader is well balanced and does not have moderate to serious emotional issues to address. But, if not, he must find an outside resource to help him resolve his emotional issues.
