*You can change your trader DNA*đđ
The nuances of human emotion, instinct, and behavior can profoundly impact your decision-making process. Thatâs why itâs important to understand your own unique trading psychology.

To build a healthy trading psychology, first acknowledge any negative or counterproductive traits you may have, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. Once youâve identified your key traitsâpositive and negativeâbe more mindful of them and notice when theyâre occurring.
If you recognize that youâre about to stubbornly dig in on a losing trade, you can catch yourself, cut your losses, and move on. Or if you sense youâre taking a loss too personally, remind yourself that your personal worth is separate from your trading.
The goal is not to eliminate your emotions, but to understand them. The more honest you are with yourself, the more in tune youâll become with your emotionsâand the better youâll be able to minimize their negative effect on your trading...
