I’ve learned the hard way that even the best strategy won’t work if your mindset isn’t in the right place. Staying disciplined and keeping emotions in check can make or break the trades. Psychology is definitely the backbone of successful trading.

Yes, psychology is often said to be 90% of trading, with emotions like discipline and fear influencing decisions more than technicals. But technical skills are still key for identifying opportunities. It’s all about balancing both.
Absolutely! I feel that mastering the mental side of trading really makes a difference, but having solid technical skills to back it up is key too.
I totally agree with you. There was a time when the prices were moving against me and I had to remind myself to stay patient and replay my risk management strategy, even though the pressure was high. I’m currently working on balancing it out!

Creating a mental balance is very important for traders.
But prevention is always better than getting into a crisis. If you have a crisis in a row, it will be difficult to mentally control it.

There are several ways to control and override this:
1- Creating conditions for emotional and psychological control.
2- Test and practice for mastery and self-confidence so that fear and greed disappear.
3- Use robots and algorithms instead of personal trading.
4- use signals and experts.
If you can't find a way to control your emotions when trading, you're doomed to fail in the long run.

Got it. Relying on risk management under pressure is hard but important. How's it working out for you now?

Good points! I focus on strict risk management. Do you use any strategies to stay calm during losing streak?

I do very little manual trading. I have been using my own robots for about 5 years
I am a programmer and I also sell some of my products on the MQL5 site

You can read the books "Trading in the Zone" and "The Disciplined Trader" by Mark Douglas, it was very useful for me, if you follow it carefully, you will succeed.
I hope you are profitable

That was a good book, would also recommend reading "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" by Edwin Lefèvre. It is a classic one in my opinion.
Oh yes, I have read this one. Absolutely loved it!

Like what is the point of making a solid trading plan but not being able to execute it because of a disturbed mind.

I agree. A great plan is useless if you can't really stick to that. How'd you keep yourself focused during stress?

I don't always keep myself focused but whenever I get stressed I just try to remain calm, do breathing exercises, maybe get up and walk
