How do you know when you *shouldn't* be trading?

Hi all,

I'm new here but I've been trading for a bit now. I wanted to get some advice on how to know when I shouldn't be trading. Looking back on past experiences, there are a few times I've executed a trade that just had no reason to be executed. I was sleep-deprived / having relationship issues / stressed / etc... and made a bad call. Sometimes it's just because I was in a fog for that day.

How do you guys assess when you shouldn't be trading? Is it something you do through...
