[@Gunther] I'm daytrading! I'm not aiming for a trade that extends beyond a day. All my trades are within the same day and they usually last minutes but sometimes hours. It's a whole different world than trading more than a day.

But you're right to remove emotion, but i can't help it. when i'm winning, i feel exhilarated, and i trade better. when i'm losing, negative emotions cloud my judgement. i think the best way to get rid of emotion is to think of money as not important, that you don't even want money, that way if you starting losing, it's no big deal and you won't experience all these negative emotions like distraught or pain or 'whoa! holy crap!'
