End of year reflection: building software, automation, and removing emotions from trading

As the yr comes to an end, I needed to share a personal reflection moderately than results or recommendation.

This yr I targeted closely on learning the best way to construct software program. I ended up launching two apps on the Play Store and App Store, and that journey utterly modified how I think about problem-solving and techniques.

One of the outcomes of that studying process was constructing a private, non-commercial buying and selling bot, strictly for my own use. To not sell, not to sign, not to manage funds for anyone — just to remove myself from guide decision-making.

I’m very emotional when buying and selling manually. I lack endurance, I overreact, and I make impulsive selections. Automation helped me step away from that. The bot waits, executes based mostly on predefined rules, and doesn’t care about worry or pleasure.

I started a private challenge of growing a small account (from 500 USDT towards a long-term objective of 10okay). Proper now it’s round 835 USDT, and more than the number itself, what issues to me is the method and consistency, not velocity.

I don’t plan to commercialize something. I truly consider selling methods modifications incentives and mindset. For me, automation is about discipline and self-control, not advertising.

Curious to hear from others right here:

Did automation allow you to remove emotional bias?

Or did it introduce new challenges you didn’t anticipate?

Just sharing a mirrored image — not advice.
