Here are my 5-Point Mental Game Strategy for Trading Success

1. Recognize Emotions as Signals, Not Enemies
Fear when you hesitate to enter.
Greed when you refuse to take profit.
Anger after a loss that pushes you into revenge trades.
Overconfidence that makes you oversize.
These emotions aren’t the problem, they’re information.
They’re pointing to something deeper: a gap in skill, unresolved frustration from past losses, or a belief that needs to be challenged.
Instead of trying to suppress them, study them.
Start journaling your trades. Write down:
•What you felt during the setup
•What you felt during the trade
•What you felt after the outcome
Then ask yourself:
What triggered this reaction?
Over time, patterns will emerge.
And when you see the pattern, you can fix it.
That’s how you stop emotions from hijacking your decisions, and start turning them into data that sharpens your edge.
