Online Trading Without Emotions

The ideal trading system would be one that trades without emotions.  This means that you have to develop a systems that gives you the odds, in the long run, to have a profitable trading system.  Online trading systems that take the emotion out are called mechanical trading systems.  I think that you still need some emotion in trading but  the great traders channel this emotion into competitiveness.  Most are very competitive in nature and these traders work on their systems, their risk management and work their online trading plan.  They keep their emotions out of the plan they have developed and follow the plan.  Teach Talk Trade has mechanical plans that help take the emotion out but many still try to second guess the plan.  These traders try to justify their reasoning once in the trade to take a smaller loss or lesser of a profit.  You can not and will not influence the market.  The market will do what it is going to do, you need to continually assess the markets and put the probabilities in you favor with your online trading plan.  You will have losing trades as part of you online trading plan, and if you don’t then  I will tell you that your online trading plan is pie in the sky.  Accept losses as part of the business, this is difficult to do, and learn from them.  You will not eliminate losses, so embrace them, learn from them, and know that the profitable trades are around the corner.

    Yes, I agree - emotions can be a killer. I think for most people, mechanical trading systems are the best way to go.
