For TRADERS: How to increase cognitive performance and decrease habitual emotional responses

A) Can you shed light on what strategies, day-traders, forex traders, can use to increase their focus, willpower, and discipline? B) What tools can traders use to measure their cognitive-performance in real time? So, they can avoid conditioned emotional responses and effectively decrease the strength of the habituated neural pathways?
