How do you learn how to manage your emotions?

📌 The second step to recognizing your own emotions is to practice the skill of being aware of your feelings.
This is where reminders and an emotion journal can help.
You can even build a reminder system on your phone. The more often, the better. It doesn't have to be at the same time.
It works like this: at the moment of the reminder, stop and think about what emotions you are feeling at that moment.
Try to describe your experiences in as much detail and as eloquently as possible.
Reflect on what brought you to that emotion and be sure to write it down.
Over time, you'll be able to track your progress in recognizing and controlling your emotional state.
🖥 You need an emotion journal for two things at once.
📌 The first is to capture the emotion at the moment the reminders are triggered.
📌 The second is to write down the strongest emotions you felt during the day and what led to those feelings every day, maybe at the same time, before you go to bed.
Feelings can be recorded in any way you like, the main thing is to try to identify the leading emotions, their intensity and the behavior that follows the strongest experiences.

In order to achieve the absence of this type of greed in the moment, you will need some preparation.
In the future, during real trading, you will subconsciously realize that ignoring the entry criteria will negatively affect the outcome of the trade
