1️⃣ Have a Trading Plan
Set clear:
- Entry/exit rules
- Risk per trade
- Profit targets
This eliminates many on-the-spot emotional decisions.
2️⃣ Use Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders
Automate your exits so you don’t have to decide in the heat of the moment.

Simple breathing exercises or meditation can help calm your mind during intense moments.
⚠️ Warning Signs You’re Trading Emotionally
