Yes, it is difficult to control and remove trade-hindering emotions. But with practise and patience and discipline, and accountability and desire, men snd women can do remarkable things.

And in fact, some emotion is good in trading. One simply has to train themselves to channel that good emotion, and eliminate the bad. For example, green hope is a good emotion when you are in profit and starting to fear losing the profits you’ve already made; the kind of fear that will cause you to close a trade way too early. And green hope is sooooo much better than red hope, which is where you’ve got a stinky sinky stock position hoping it comes back. Red fear is helpful too; fear of a loss getting bigger.

So emotions, when channeled correctly, can help save capital and bring about very nice gains.

Yes, it’s hard work to manage that kind of self control. But seeking perfection is admirable and honorable.
