Dumb asses make pips because they can follow systems , and can't think for themselves.Intelligent people using their brains are prone to emotional responses , second guessing their systems and suffer from discipline and other issues.Their brains won't let them win.

Their brains support making excess cortisol and and stress , as a result their mindset suffers and is unable to function appropriately under stress.Stress gives depressed trading moods.

A system is worth nothing without appropriate trading mindset.

Traders change when they join crowds and follow trends or place trades at support or resistance. They become more credulous and impulsive, anxiously search for a trend or set up, and react to emotions instead of using their intellect.It is their sixth sense which put them in the trade , it is based on emotions ,mindset, knowledge ,skill and their past experience .When the markets fails to follow his trades .emotions kick and the game plan goes out of the window .An individual who becomes involved in a group becomes less capable of thinking for himself.

A good post explaining how traders become overwhelmed by emotions.A normal human instinctive trait is to protect one's account and win at any price ,even if t means throwing the game plan out of the window.After a string of losses traders are under control of their emotions.

Test your emotions .Find out what happens to you , when you get angry , when you get sad and weepy , feel resentment and like to give revenge.Get somebody to seriously arouse these emotions whilst you are trading , and see the result , whilst acting normally trading.Get somebody to kick balls and see how you react , the market does it to you all day.

Never get angry when trading .It destroys your account.

Dealing with anger

The Dalai Lama points out the connection between suffering and afflictive emotions, the "enemy within". The real enemy is always within, not without. As long as it remains there, lasting happiness cannot be achieved.

Once you have made up your mind to tackle this "enemy within", to make it count, you realized the true aspiration to seek freedom from suffering.

This is called "renunciation" in Buddhist terms.

Traders become angry when the market behaves irrationally , or they have losses or difficult trading conditions.

Imagine the market giving a trader a hard day , destroying his account by 2 % with several losing trades , or a trader going through a drawdown.He becomes frustrated ,annoyed and very angry , he wants revenge for the losses the market gave .He wants a profit.
