Thinking about my last comment on Psychology of Trading, while figuring out why I screwed up my recently stopped out trade (I didn't research the previous Order Block well enough, so I just got in too high; 7 pips!), my last statement is probably incorrect.
You don't need to take the emotion out of trading. You need to know how to properly channel Emotions to "post-session" and then deal with them. If you lose any emotional connection to the work, then you'll get too detached. It needs to be honed & shifted. Hyper focus in-session; emotional release out of session. This is what you have to do in even very to-the-second intense work.
The work of the trade itself: Reading the Chart, Entry & Exit need to be with as little emotion as possible. The post-session is where the emotion goes. A good day is a good day. Enjoy it and tag out of the week early. It'll keep you from burning out or over-trading.
