Becoming emotionless in forex trading involves disciplined practices to mitigate the impact of emotions on decision-making. Firstly, traders must develop a well-defined trading plan with clear entry and exit criteria. Secondly, employing risk management strategies, such as setting stop-loss orders, helps limit emotional reactions to market fluctuations. Additionally, sticking to predetermined trading rules and avoiding impulsive actions are essential. Regularly reviewing trading performance objectively can also help detach from emotions by focusing on statistical outcomes rather than short-term gains or losses. Finally, cultivating mindfulness and psychological resilience through techniques like meditation can further support emotional detachment in forex trading.

Pursuing automation, if possible, will also eliminate the vast majority of "psychological" hurdles that people will experience during trading.
Yeah I also think that's the only solution others inevitably involve emotional response especially when trading is carried out using high leverage.

100%, I'd never look back. The free time also allows for further system development, research, client onboarding etc. Still requires monitoring during volatile news events though.
Mottos are corny. Just find an edge, test it rigorously and trade it.

You become emotionless when you treat it as a business instead of wins and losses.

It's impossible to be emotionless, that is why people resort to EAs. However, I would say that over time with some decent understanding of the market, this feeling of anxiety and uncertainty will be reduced. It will not go away entirely though.

I trade with an advisor, but it doesn’t really give me psychological comfort. I worry the same way if I traded manually.

Is it your own system? I'm happy to let my systems run 24/7 (except for major news events) because of the back-end testing. Definitely needs some watching with volatile news triggers though.

Totally agree that staying emotionless in trading is key, but it’s easier said than done, right? Personally, having a strict trading plan has saved me from a lot of emotional mistakes. I remember early on, I’d make impulsive trades when I saw big swings, and it rarely ended well. Now, I stick to my rules, set my stop-losses, and try not to get too attached to any single trade. Meditation’s actually helped too—it keeps me focused and less reactive. It’s all about finding that balance between discipline and mental clarity.

It took time, but journaling my trades really helped me see where emotions got in the way—now, I treat each trade like just another step in the plan.

Cut the ego. Follow your plan, set your stops, and don’t chase losses. Focus on the process, not the outcome, money’s just numbers; stay detached.

Dear friends, emotions, fear and stress during trading are natural and instead of suppressing and ignoring them, you should find a way to deal with them.
1- Create a calm environment for trading.
2- Do not trade during emotional times (happy and sad).
3- Work with a demo account until you have fully mastered your strategy.
4- Trade with a minimum volume in a real account for several months so that your mind gets used to it.
5- Use the experiences and signals of successful traders along with trading.
6- Backtest successful trading patterns several times.
😀😁

"Becoming emotionless in forex trading is about cultivating discipline and following a well-defined strategy. Focus on these steps:
1. **Stick to a Trading Plan**: Define your entry, exit, and risk management rules and follow them strictly.
2. **Use Risk Management**: Limit losses by setting stop-loss orders and only risking a small percentage of your capital per trade.
3. **Practice Mindset Training**: Use techniques like meditation or journaling to detach from emotional highs and lows.
4. **Learn from Demo Trading**: Practice on a demo account to build confidence in your strategy without emotional pressure.
It’s not about eliminating emotions but managing them effectively. What works best for you?"
