"1) hesitation to pull the tigger - something is not right - don't take the bet"
If you have a method that you have researched well, and know is a good system, then you should not really be hesitating. Just start with small size and get used to it, then once you see profitable results, the hesitation will begin to disappear.
Hesitation is usually caused by not having enough confidence in your method or strategy. Insufficient confidence is caused by not knowing if your strategy works. Not knowing if your strategy works is caused by not doing enough research, backtesting, and live testing on small size. So - research your method more, test it more, trade it small to see how it works. Only once you see it works consistently will you get true confidence and then see hesitation disappear.
'2) anger - start of revenge trading - stop ASAP'
Stop - but only long enough to clear your mind. If it takes a day to clear your mind, then stop for a day. But with practise, you will recover your composure quicker. Nowadays I rarely get angry at the market, I usually detect negative emotions in a few seconds, and shut them off, remind myself the market is just an impersonal system, like the ocean or like deep space, and it is silly to feel emotions because of its indifferent actions and behaviour.
Also, consider why you are getting angry. Are losing trades not a natural part of any trading method? Isn't it necessary to have some losers, if you want to have winners? So why be angry at them? Remember a profitable method will work over hundreds, or thousands of trades. You will take thousands or tens of thousands of trades over a trading career - any one losing trade, so long as you manage risk, is not important. What is important is to trade well, stick to a good method, and profit in the long-run. Just like a poker player should not get angry when he loses to the opponent getting a lucky draw on the last card, so a trader should not get angry because of one losing trade. As long as you stuck to your stop loss, and exited once the trade went bad, then you should feel happy that you stuck to your plan, not angry.
Be angry not at the market for losing trades, but at yourself when you break your rules, or trade without a plan, or don't prepare properly, or you were being lazy. Then, use your anger to motivate you to stick to your rules, trade your system, prepare well, and work hard. You should be more angry at yourself for a huge winning trade when you did not prepare properly, or got lazy, or made a mistake and got lucky; and not angry at all at a huge loser, where you did everything right, but some bad luck happened (e.g. president assassinated; or you short a stock and it gets taken over). Focus on the process of trading correctly, and long-term results; not so much on the result of one trade.
'3) uncomfortable while watching or not watching the price - non aligned with the market, trading with too much size - reduce size or quit'
Discomfort is a sign of taking too much risk, or not being confident that the trade is the right one. So I mostly agree with this. First step is reduce size, until you feel comfortable. If you still don't feel comfortable even after reducing to the smallest position, then exit the trade.
4) ignoring the little voice and gut feeling - trust the inner voice and take action
Yes - just remember to place a stop, in case you are wrong. Also, be careful not to confuse intuition (a good thing, if you have experience) with impulsive trading (a bad thing - unplanned, random trades, that don't fit into your system or method).
5) trading on hope - quit asap
That's a bit drastic. Instead, just exit the position, review your trading plan and rules, pause until you regain your composure, then start trading small and work up to normal size again.
6) thinking after hours or during market hours of money you can make = greed, impatience to make money - focus on how much you can lose
I agree. The way to decide correct trading size, and risk to take, is to look at how much you can lose, not how much you can win. Assume that each trade you enter will go against you and hit your stop, losing the money. If you are still happy to take the trade and take this risk, then your risk assessment and position size is probably correct. If you would be upset by losing that amount on this trade, then you are trading too big - get smaller. The ideal size is where it's enough to matter if you win on the trade, but not so much that you would be upset if you lose on the trade.
7) stress = wrong side of the market
Usually yes. Or too much size. You can be right on the direction, but if you trade too much size, you can get stressed by pullbacks and noise, and exit a good position because you can't handle the swings. Always trade small enough that the noise doesn't bother you. But don't trade so small that even the serious moves don't bother you.
8) feeling joy = right side of the market
Often this means you are getting cocky, and the market is about to reverse hard. I have found that if you ever get euphoric about your trade, or your trading in general, it is best to review your positions, and usually reduce size, put on some options hedges, or just get flat entirely.
IMO if a trade is working good, then you just feel relaxed and comfortable. If you are properly prepared, then you know your exit plan e.g. "The market has gone down 10 points, it is now having a little bounce. If it bounces more than 5 points, I am wrong and I should exit. If it bounces less than 5 points, I am probably right and should stay in the position - and even short some more if it goes to new lows. If it stays in a range for more than 1 hour, then the momentum has gone and I should exit.". You have a plan for what to do if you are wrong, and what to do if you are right, and what to do if nothing happens. So you have all options covered -no reason for stress or concern; no reason to feel great either; just feeling relaxed because you have done all the work, and are ready for all conditions. Like a boxer who has trained hard, studied his opponent, and knows if he fights correctly for every second of the fight, he will probably win - but there is always slight chance of a knockout, he knows this and accepts it, and if it happens he will study the fight with his coach, train hard again, come back, and fight to win the next time. It's all part of the game, win lose or draw, what matters is that you do the right things consistently, and minimise mistakes, and constantly work on your skills and try to improve each day.
