How to stop taking high risks?

[farlack]

Hey guys, I noticed that I always seek for high profit and point is that I still trade 25-50-100x. Then I lose deposit and then repeat once again.
Sometimes I gain a lot, like 10x and it gives me positive energy.

But I realise that trading with high leverage is a disaster. How to stop doing that?

I think you trade well, no big deal.
it only requires emotional control so that it doesn't look fomo and it makes you lose your trading strategy.

[jhenfelipe]

Self/Emotion control.

I think you should stop for a moment, think, and ask yourself, is it worth it? Try to weigh in both profits and losses. Don't let your emotions control your decisions, when you gain don't get too excited, when you lose don't be so eager to recover the losses. Calm down yourself first before taking action.

Don't stay too long in front of your computer, you'll be tempted to trade more.

I think you should stay away from leverage trading for a while and trying to learn to trade for more so you can know how to analyze the market. It is not recommended to seek for high profit if you are difficult to analyze because that will lead you to get another loss. It is better to get a stable profit, like about 1%. So you can repeat to get the profit in over and over.

There is nothing you can do to stop the leverage trading exchange except leaving the exchange as I said before. Don't think that with leverage trading will give you a big profit every day. But when you still insist on staying at the leverage trading, then I suggest you stop trading when you can get 10x of the profit and don't continue to trade.

You need to have a control for yourself, so you can stop and leave the exchange after you can get a big profit so you can stay calm and relax for a while. But that will depend on how strong you can control yourself.

Withdraw your funds in that margin exchange and deposit it to some exchange that has no leverage, because once you can't control your emotion, you will still put leverage even you said never again. But if you can control it, good for you.

Always put stop loss then, risk management. If you are not sure on your entry or you are late on entry, maybe you can minimize your leverage based on your risk:reward ratio.

Acceptance can cost a lot of money, which is very difficult for many people, so they usually do not set stoploss, but that can help to avoid losing a bigger amount. The most risky thing is when you don't have stoploss. I think you should use lower leverage and set stoploss.

[maxreish]

What I am doing is I always enter small leverage like 4-10%, for not easily liquidated entry. But if you want to feel profits or gain high profits, enter big amount with less % of liquidity. Also, even if you put a higher percent of liquidity, set stop loss in every trade to at least lessen and to at least easily compensate the loss if ever.

That positive energy of yours came from big winnings is turning your mindset that you must continue. In other words, why should you stop if it's successful? Then later on.... will lose at the end. You are doing good, it's just that you need to control.

How to stop that. You know that already but just can't execute it.

You are not new to this leverage thing. I know you can deal on your concern even without suggestions.

[Herbert2020]

why do you trade with leverage anyways? i personally dislike it a lot.
if you also are starting to feel the same way and can't stop the high risks you are talking then maybe it is time to move to another exchange and/or trade without leverage. that is what i have been doing. it just makes more sense to me to trade the good old fashion way.
and remember that putting a lot of mental pressure on yourself because of risks,... is not really worth the money that you may earn out of it.

It's pretty simple. Stop trading with leverage. Regardless how good your risk control is, leverage trading is still risky. Probably trade via spot exchanges instead, and simply lower your bankroll allocations to your trades. But in the end, it all comes down to self control, regardless what you trade and what type of trading you do.

The greater the investments is the greater the risks that you need to face therefore risk is already part of every investment. We could not stop the risk but we could reduce it by simply improving our skills in trading like knowing the projects well and their legit owners by doing these the chances of having risk is reduced.

Try to evaluate your method, you said that sometimes you gain a lot so that method could be a working method as well.
Know your overall performance, if you are in profit then the strategy is good, it's just necessary that you will learn the right fund management which requires discipline to be able to do it effectively.

it's normal that we experience loses in trading, but it's necessary to adjust and you try to improve your trading strategies.
High profit target is also a high risk, so there's a lesser chance if we will convert that to chances.

[Ararbermas]

To reduce risky situation you must take it as full time in order to protect your portfolio and to get as well the right timing to dump and etc because that is the common reason why sometimes we suffer on any risky situation ,wherein because of being negligent in our duty. So must adjust and monitor always the graph to reduce it because that's the only solution .

I was addicted to margin trading for a while because it was very profitable for me every time I won, but every time I lost it took back a lot of my hard working days.
I think you should turn to long-term investment in good technology alts like EOS, XLM, ETH to get good profits every year.

I think you are one of the good traders in crypto trading sir. But to stop taking high risks is unavoidable I think,
We all know that no matter how good or expert we are in trading, still in the end losses will come to us. That's the reality
happens that we need to accept as a trader. And besides you mentioned that " Sometimes you gain a lot " which means
you still faced losses, but I think its easy for you to recover it.

[Janation]

To be honest, I don't know.

It is hard since it is like you're getting addicted to it by time.

Taking risks is part of being an investor but there are a lot of times that we are going overboard and a lot of times that we are making a mistake and lose our capital. Since we are dealing with cryptocurrencies, it is hard to stop taking high risks since we are used to high-risk high reward results. Maybe limiting deposits can help but that doesn't help me.

[Strongkored]

If the result of all your trading are profitable, then it's not a problem to continue because it means you already understand how it work, because if you choose to trade with a different system  maybe later you will experience boredom.

Or you can reduce your risky with withdrawal the profit you got that day and only trade with your first capital.

Since that accident repeats, I guess you trade with money that you can afford to lose. The problem is that you are looking for high rewards, that's why you take high risks and that's why your risks will almost always be high. Seems during this high risks, your chance of win is very low and that's why you win rare.
There is no direct way to stop, you have to change your habits, try to adapt on new habits from current one, be emotionally strong, it's not necessary to trade often, just trade when there is time, try to catch good moments. Failed? It's a new opportunity to learn, just see, you understood that your plan is bad and that happened because you failed, every fail is just a step in a way of success.

You took the words right out of my mouth .. the high risk will always in there along with those leverage stuff feature and the only way to stop that kind behavior is indeed by leaving that exchange with leverage.

If you feel you can't afford anymore which I believe that OP does can't afford but force himself due the desire to get back what he has lost, this is pretty obvious a bad way to die young   .

Come on think with a cool head , you are not fit with the leverage trading system op. Wake up.

This isn't trading.It's a gambling addiction.Just stop trading and seek for help.
The so called "positive energy" is just dopamine that your brain is producing in high amounts,when you are winning.You get addicted in that process.I simply don't understand people,who use margin trading.
Margin trading is kinda designed to make you lose.
