Trading Psychology Hacks for Overcoming Anxiety/Emotions
Psychological Hack 1:
Lower your lot size to a level that you can still fall asleep with the trade open. If what you are risking is weighing heavily on your mind, then you can't handle the weight of the risk. Reduce your lot size to a level that is comfortable for you.
Psychological Hack 2:
Mentally anchor your risk amount to a normal activity. What I mean is that if the total risk for a trade is for example $50, think about things that cost you $50 in your daily life that have no possibility of returning a profit such as going out to dinner, buying a pair of pants, putting gas in car, etc. If you're okay with not getting a return on investment with these purchases or expenses, it can put risking the same amount in a trade into a more emotionally acceptable context.
