I trade the US open each day and i track my emotions during each trade on a sheet in front of me, if my emotions get too high, i stop, breath and calm down for a while until i feel i am in control again. It helps me to observe myself from the third person. It means that I can see myself acting like a dick and hopefully catch myself early on. I have punishments and rewards that I give myself for keeping my emotions in check. Please note that this only applies to my trading, I do not use this method on other parts of my life, as it is impractical. I am far from perfect at catching my emotions outside of the trading world. This method helps me keep my impulses in check. Do you trade? if so, what?
