How to control your emotions while trading?👨🏼‍💻

[bellicose]

A very difficult topic to discuss. In trading, as in the game, you need to keep a cold head and keep your nerves in discipline. Not everyone succeeds, and therefore there are very few truly successful traders.

good, yeah that's what i do. accept that it's too late when buying low prices and selling high prices. I have never panicked, because I believe it will happen to the coins I buy. secondly I have never followed news from groups like pumps and dumps. it's just fake. I always make my own trade. and leave a coin that has a high pump. and look for coins that are falling without high price increases

Yes sir its right that once you enter the world of trading you must have patience and don't panic once the price of your coins fall. Because i believe that you can not buy that coins if there's no potential. And we expect too for dump the price of our holding. So must be follow your instinct.

Trading is a very serious job that requires a lot of knowledge and skills in order to pass every obstacles on it, a mere cash will not be enough to withstand all the hardship that you would experience while you are chasing your dreams in Trading, too much emotion will not be good while lack of emotions is much worst. Managing every aspects that could affect the way you trade is important, either it would benefit you or it will not benefit you at all.

You could manage your emotions if you know your limits, train yourself to follow that limits that you would set everyday, and you'll find yourself making profits all of the time.

I think emotional challenge is the biggest problem for most of traders, especially newbies. Fortunately, I managed to control them. I just accepted the fact that I can't always make profit, it doesn't work like this. And of course I never risk those amount of savings that are crucially important for my life right now. I always knew that I can afford it to loose, so it reduced my emotions.

Well, disturbed emotions during trading are always a problem for most traders and the origin of this disease comes from the fact that we have succumbed to the pressure and did not accept everything that was not in our prediction, newbie is the one who often gets involved in this problem as you say, the crypto market is still too new and not like their thoughts. Each person will have different handling methods, with you you will relax and accept, my method is more binding when I set limits on profits and losses, the plan won't be changed by my feelings

Its hard to control or set aside your emotions when doing trades but is it possible to do so? Actually yes by your own will and plan.

Lets accept that not all the time we can buy or sell with the amount we anticipate, instead set a target price and stick to it.

Dont bother or compare your trading strategy to others because that will ruin your own plan so dont let your emotions control you.

Controlling your emotions in trading is not an easy task and sometimes we suffer loss due to our panic in the market.But we learn from our mistakes and we need to stay calm and stay away from any negativity or FUD's in the price dump situation.As said don't depend wholly on trading signals of others or telegram channels that ask you to invest in particular coins but do according to your knowledge and level of experience.

Controlling emotions is very easy because for sure I believe every person can control their emotions so don't be afraid or even scared if the price decrease because a emotional trader can lose more for sure if they scared because they sell the coin that they bought with high price to the low value. A real and successful trader know how to manage to their emotions while in they are in trading.

One of the most popular emotions among traders is a notorious fear of missing out,
or simply FOMO, which picks when the market is high.📈
⠀
Watching the price of an asset soaring higher and higher, while out of the deal,
a trader often feels even worse than in case of losses.⚠️
⠀
So, what exactly can you do to prevent emotion-connected issues?
⠀
Accept the fact that you can’t buy at the lowest and sell at the highest prices;☝🏻
⠀
Don’t be looking at the charts all the time;❌
⠀
Use a trading plan ruling how to deal with profits and losses;📝
⠀
Follow your own plans, don’t compare your results with results of other traders too often.👨🏼‍💼

You know, it's easy to set our minds into something we really need to accomplish, for instance not letting yourself be emotional when it comes to trading. It is easy if we're just gonna deal with it internally and will focus on our goal of not being swayed and mess up your trades. The only thing that affects us emotionally is mainly driven by external factors like being pressured about what we are seeing and thinking that we should be doing at the moment. We need to stop comparing other's situation to our's because we might envy them and aim for they have right now then do an impulsive decision that could mess up everything and take us far from the big thing that is waiting for us on our own road.

Easy? I don't think so.

And I can say that because I am also a human.

It is part of us, of us, being a human and we can't control that so easily since everything can trigger our emotions it might be positive or negative. You might say it is easy since you can do it but for people that are not that used to control their emotions, I don't think they can agree to what you had said.

[ashmodeus]

well, my fucking trouble on trading its not FOMO for sure, but FUD,
its really different,right ?
i can control my self when i see something like FOMO, but not about FUD,
somehow i just think, i just picked a wrong asset, then i just hodl it for short time.
I just thought, every bad news about the token that I bought from the project was authentic, and I became paranoid about losing my money.
then it become real when the prices drop 5% just for 4 minutes after i buy,
--
but, as time goes by, stay away or not too focused on market its a better idea.
even now, i've turned off all of alarm on my blockfolio.

Not exactly. Managing our emotions isn't that easy, admit the fact that there are times that we have been engulf by our surging emotion and this emotion can be trigger either postive or negative phenomenon. It is easy for us to say that we can manage our emotion well but we must remember that we're just only human, we're not perfect.

I devised my trading plan strictly followed it without any emotion once I pull a trigger to buy or sell with my stop loss 2% to 3% of my total portfolio as you said I am always on a look out for dumping coins analyze them before entering the trade with that I was ability to control fear and emotion, while following a telegram group for signals is more less a waste of time to me why not learn trading? rather than been giving  fish learn how to fish.

Anyone that trades with emotion will surely lose. You need to form your own strategy and stick with it. just ensure you stay away with YouTubers, pump and dump groups, you will get recked if you subscribe to their calls

[jazmuzika217]

I agree to your thought but I think you forget the most important thing that you need to do which is stop being greedy. This is the  reason why you wait for the lowest price to buy and the highest price to sell and always comparing your result to other trader's result means to much greed. Be contented even in a small mark up income and have a good strategies.

Yes greed does makes us lose the profit and I have a simple logical of minimum $100 profit for a trade worth anything above $1000 but there are users who needs huge chunk of profit often ends up exhausting the buying period. We need to be logical and have couple of plans if one doesn't  work.

many traders tempted to generate much profits in short periode.greedy be basic character for each traders.and actually its very risky to do.with capital around $1000 ideally it take only 2% profits for each trades.if compared with bank interest we get bigger amount.we must able controll our emotion in our trades.patience be the key for us to controll our emotion.

The only thing you should concern yourself with is the individual performance. Stop reading success stories of others if they make you feel sad. If you bought at $8000 and was able to sell at $8500 then it's perfectly ok! You shouldn't concern yourself that price has risen to $9000 or $10000 after that. If you made profit, in short, you made a successful trade.

what do you mean individual performance?
is that some kind of hard work?
controlling emotions in trading is only a matter of time, if we already understand trading management and always practice it, just wait for your emotions to be controlled, because controlling emotions is like planting a tree, if you want to feel the fruit then you have to be patient.

   Glendall do you understand what your wrote? Controlling emotions is not a matter of time, some people are not capable
for that even after a long period of time. Patience and controlling emotions in trading are two different things.   
   Individual performance is your own achievement, your possibilities with your set of skills. Is it a hard work? I`m sure that
practicing can be hard, learning can be hard to for people who are newbies in something.
   When you plant a tree, you can sit down and be just patient! You need to take care of that plant, to water it everyday,
to cut weeds around, depending on the tree you need to do what it takes for that tree to give you fruits. Just planting and
waiting will lead you nowhere.

To control emotions is difficult, we are human, somehow emotions are always present so they want to be suppressed. In the Crypto market it is not healthy to get carried away by emotions, particularly I have a couple of tips for market speculators:

1.- To study as much as possible, if it is better books, that are of influential market speculators, it is not recommended that it be only technical analysis, nor follow advice of influencers.

2.- Having clear market analysis and the decision to enter a trade, what you need to ensure is not to see news so you don't get carried away and change your analysis.

3.-Have an Exchange that allows:

a.- Place your Stop Loss and place Take Profit at the same time.
b.- Once you have placed your trade configuration, limit yourself to making a maximum of 3 different trades.
c.- Place less than 10% loss and at least 3 times the gain.

4.- Having configured the trade configuration, not being stuck on the PC or in the market, check the hours, and if you lost assume the loss and if I earn a very good job.

This way you can reduce emotions, the news, the fact of being on the chart all day is not healthy. It is recommended to make trades that are long term or medium term.
