There are three pillars to trading psychology, the field which examines the ways in which psychology can enhance our performance as investors and traders:
•Our emotional development - This is the traditional domain of trading psychology, consisting of perspectives and methods to ensure that we make the most of our felt understandings (intuition) and do not let emotional arousal interfere with sound decision-making.
•Our cognitive development - This is the area of development most often encountered with experienced professionals, who are trying to make the most of their fast pattern recognition and deep analysis, and who work on cultivating their information processing and creativity to generate more and better ideas.
•Our spiritual development - This third pillar is rarely addressed in writings and practice on trading psychology, reflecting in part the sensitivities of professionals around religious matters. Whereas emotional and cognitive development maximize our self-actualization, spirituality seeks self-transcendence.
