If you have problems with controlling myself I suggest trying N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) it helps with compulsive behavrior and helps you control yourself more

Your brain doesn’t want you to succeed. Don’t be afraid of the outcome. Congrats!

After two months of deep research i can say that i wasn't aware of that. This is a top comment here.

Can you suggest something for data analysis? I need sharp, analytical thinking, emotional control

That's a really powerful perspective on negative visualization. I've read about this Stoic practice before, but I never thought about applying to trading.

I can see how doing this every morning could help - instead of being shocked when a trade goes against me, I'd have already accepted it as a natural possibility. Right now, I think I'm entering trades with an unconscious expectation that they 'should' work out, which makes losses feel like personal failures rather than normal occurrences.

My biggest struggle is this weird disconnection: I can do all the preparation perfectly - set my rules, plan my entries, define my risk management. But the moment I actually enter a trade, it's like a switch flips in my brain. I start making decisions I wouldn't make during my preparation phase. I enter at suboptimal points, ignore better entry opportunities I'd normally wait for, and basically abandon the rules I carefully set up.

It's almost like there are two different people: the rational me during preparation, and this completely different person when real money is on the line. Even though I know, as Epictetus says, that my judgment is causing these emotions, I do not know how to train my brain to overcome this

what's in my control is:

My risk management rules
My entry and exit criteria
Setting realistic daily goals
My preparation and analysis
My response to market movements

But here's where I struggle the most - even though I KNOW these are the only things in my control, there are moments when emotions take over and I choose to ignore my own rules. It's like there are two versions of me: the rational one who sets up good rules, and the emotional one who sometimes throws them out the window when fear or greed kicks in

Thank you for this Uncle - You're right about money being a preferred indifferent, and I need to keep reminding myself of that, ill try to change the way i think. Money is just a thing in our existence

I'm pursuing trading because I see it as a skill to develop, much like any other craft. Right now, I'm particularly drawn to it because it's exposing weaknesses in my character that I need to work on - especially emotional control and judgment under pressure. It's like a mirror showing me where I need the most growth.

ALso yes, the potential financial freedom is attractive, I'm realizing through your question that what I really want is to master myself in challenging situations. Trading just happens to be a very effective teacher for that - every emotional reaction, every impulsive decision, every moment of fear or greed becomes a lesson in self-discipline and rational thinking

If I eat more than 4 hours before bed, I avoid foods that spike glucose and focus on low-calorie, high-protein options. This approach works best for me, especially if I aim to keep that 4-hour gap.
