Add in the negative emotions of Greed and Fear and you have a combustible mix which will surely detract from your performance.
Instead, think of stock market in terms of Gratitude and Charity. When we have a win, we are grateful for it. When we have a loss, we think of it as a charitable donation to your education fund.
Your life as a trader will be simpler this way!
