What is a Trading Emotion Heatmap?
A trading emotion heatmap is a visual calendar or timeline that shows how your emotional intensity varied over time while trading. You log each day (or moment) with a value (e.g. 0 for calm, 10 for very intense). The heatmap uses color intensity—typically light to dark blue—to represent strength, so you can spot patterns: high-stress days, calm periods, or clusters of strong emotions that might affect decisions.
