How does having self-awareness help traders manage emotions?
Kojo credits self-awareness as a key role in managing emotions. Recognizing personal weaknesses and being honest about mistakes prevents traders from blaming external factors and helps them take responsibility for their trading results. This helps to build resilience and strengthen decision-making.
How can fast withdrawals help prevent emotional trading?
Kojo explains that after a profitable trade, there can be a strong temptation to overtrade. Fast withdrawals helps traders "close the chapter" on a session, reinforcing discipline and good habits like locking in profits and managing capital more responsibly.
What emotional skill should traders develop?
Kojo highlights patience as an often underrated emotional skill. Whether it's waiting for the right setup, sticking to a long-term strategy, or allowing progress to unfold over time, patience plays an important part in emotional control and long-term trading results.
