Humans have always been governed by emotions and drive behaviours & actions. Traders are not immune to this, hence as one of the best Prop Trading firm, it's important that we discuss this topic to help the community and be better at handling Emotional Trading. This is a key differentiator for successful traders. Also will be helpful in managing mental health and be better at Prop Trading challenges.
Avoid holding on to profitable trades unless there is a significant event or impactful news that could help gain additional ground. Try and gain the maximum from current trade and re-enter if the price levels are correct. This will help immensely in gaining confidence.
Many traders close their positions based on assumptions or emotions, which often results in losses. If open positions are based on scientific and data-backed research, then have patience and trust the risk management setup.
This is another common trap for traders; a series of winning trades will boost confidence. However, you need to keep in mind that the market is a dynamic place and not every technique will work in a similar manner repeatedly. Hence it is important not to get overconfident with a strategy unless it has been customized based on the current situation. This will also be a key deciding factor in the whole journey of trading.
A lot has been said about this part, and it remains a major bottleneck for traders. It's how a brain is wired for most of the traders and generally results in loss. So control over indulgence in revenge trading revenge trading in an attempt to prove oneself will not work unless there is profit on table.
As part of the learning curve, all traders make mistakes and learn from them. So making mistakes is not inhuman and non-avoidable; it's part of the journey. Don’t dwell on them-learn from them. No regrets, just move on and remember that there is a lot more out for traders to look forward to rather than just the past. Every day is a new day, filled with learning opportunities.
If the positions placed are with innate biases and not on the basis of strong data backing, then the chances of them going in the wrong direction remain high. The objective is to keep emotions aside and remember that trading is for making profit, and with good data backing and fundamental analysis always supporting the decisions.
Avoid trading when the stress levels are high. This will typically reduce the decision making capabilities and make one prone to high degree of errors & mistakes. Take a break, and if possible, spend time with a mentor or family members. This will help calm you down and allow you to think more clearly.
As a part of prop trading strategies, taking care of mental health and keeping emotions under control is very important. The above-mentioned key points will definitely help in managing trades. Leading a balanced life is very important and will be a key differentiator to being a successful trader. Trading is a serious profession, and placing trades requires a clear mind. Exercise, maintain a healthy diet, spend time with family and friends, and have a mentor or guide while trading. These practices will help you balance both aspects of your life.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE:
ACFTC Rule 4.4-Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses is material points, which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
