The Importance of Emotional Intelligence for Traders

I think we need to check in all the time on where we are as human beings. No matter how left brain or pragmatic a person may think of themselves, you are driven by your emotions. Even if you are really well practiced at disconnecting yourself from your feelings, I promise you they are still driving you and the decisions you make. Just like any athlete is going to find that there's days they're on and days they're off, you still have to play in the game.
