Emotions are hard to resist because that’s part of being a human. And in everything we do, different emotions are always present. That’s why it’s difficult to control it even in trading especially if you are trading to make some profitable gains and to make your trades worth the risk. The reason maybe why most traders fail in trading is that they keep on insisting to stop their emotions, when in reality emotions can’t be stopped but can only be lessen or minimized.
This is why being able to manage our emotions is a very important skill, since not only it will affect your ability to make a winning trade when it counts but it helps in every single other aspect of our lives as well, however this kind of control is not encouraged by society these days and if anything is looked down upon, as if there was something wrong with trying to deal with our emotions in a healthy way, which by the way I think this is the main reason why most people cannot become successful traders.
