How to handle emotions when you lose during trading.

[justdimin]

Everything you say here is correct, and the number 4 is the best thing that all the traders in this field of crypto trading can do, in fact, so that we can do the trading activity we are
doing in the field correctly. This is actually true. And it's good to make it a habit too.

Because if we can't manage trading correctly, our emotions will swallow us up and put us in a state of lack of control over ourselves, which can lead to bad results in the end.

sometime we don't even realize that we already lost control over all the decision we've made due to our emotion sometime our emotion just get the best of us thats why I think personally the best advice would be just relax and calm down and then stop trading when we are having series of lose.

its no point keeping up when we are keep on losing becasue if we just keep continuing eventually we gonna lose all our money.
trading requires calm and peace state of mind, can't just randomly trade and win when we are so angry because the series of lose that we have experienced earlier.
hopes the newbies out there know that overtrading is a thing too.

Yeah, usually people do not realize that they are in trouble until it is too late and that is why they end up losing so much money as well. I personally believe that the best thing to do would be just focusing on how to improve further by doing their very best.

I think if you are losing too many trades in a row, even if you think there is nothing wrong with you, just stop and you could give it a break and that is why I think it would definitely be a lot better. I get that it is not going to be a simple situation to handle, but that doesn't mean that we can't make a lot of money from it. All in all, I believe that we are going to end up with a good return, we just need to make sure that we can stop when we should.

Too much of everything is bad, and that is why a trader should not overtrade, because he will be more prone to losses than profit. Emotions are also something very important for one to know how to control so that it will save you from losses.

Only use the amount of money that you can afford to lose when you are learning how to trade, and do not have your own trading strategy, so that you don't regret your actions. This is because trading is very risky, and when we enter the market, it is something different that we see from what we expected.

A lot of newbie traders believe that making more trades means earning more profit, though it's true only if you understand the market enough to have success in every trade that you make, or at least most of them if you are making a lot of trades when you are not knowledgeable enough and you are losing more trades than you are winning then you will surely be in trouble because your net outcome will be in loss which isn't good.

A newbie who isn't knowledgeable and experienced enough about the market shouldn't make trades with real money in the initial stage but they should first gather knowledge and test their knowledge in demo modes somewhere so that they can be assured that they can make successful trades or not and should only venture into real trading once they are ready.

Well said, To control emotions, you have to work hard and practice for a long time. Properly and you have to remember never to make hasty or too fast decisions. Always try to keep yourself calm. Think in such a way that you don't feel wrong after making your decision. Then slowly notice that you are able to control your emotions.

The ability to control emotions must always begin with the recognition that trading is not only about profit but the possibility of loss is also always involved and cannot be separated, and also you need to have a recipe or formula to minimize something unwanted that can prevent you from the possibility of emotions, I understand that loss is a possibility that must be experienced by all typical traders, but when you have many precautions to prevent significant losses then obviously it will be able to minimize the occurrence of emotions that dominate.

One of them is like you said which is where we should avoid making hasty decisions, the market will always run which means there are still quite a lot of moments that you will find in the next time, so there is no need to rush because opportunities will always be there. A wise decision should always be based on calmness and making decisions based on calmness will be able to minimize the possibility of tension and some pressure which means of course you will not experience excessive emotions.

This is a very vibrant point and has a beginner you should learn what you are going into don't just dive into something because you feel your friends are making money from it take your time and build your self get a strategy backtest it and make your self perfect in it and you should also know that trading is not a get rich quick scheme definitely with time you will make something out of it trading is not gambling stay safe out there

[Huppercase]

All your recommendations are precautions on how to handle emotions during trading, these are pre-trading tips if you want to avoid emotions in your trades. You should just avoid futures if you are very emotional, you should only deals with spot trading because with this you don't need to deal with any form of leverage, your trade and a stop loss is enough to protect you and guide you all through your trading journey provided that you already acquired the knowledge of trading.

Popular underrated opinion, make sure you use the money you know verily that you can afford to lose, don't open trade with money that you will need later or put you in chaotic condition and will not give you peace of mind. There is nothing palatable losing money but losing money that you needee badly will make you regret trading, there is no way you will trade with such money and have peace of mind.

Well stop the mindset or something that is FOMO because most likely it will only lead yourself to a lot of problems, and I think it is not uncommon for people to end up failing along with experiencing a lot of losses because they come with only one focus on one point, namely the opportunity to get profits, like you said where they feel like they want to get the same benefits as those achieved by others or including some of their friends who have come first.

 Basically, in any case, if you only look at one side of the equation such as the positive aspect of profit, then I think it is likely that you will ignore some other aspects that are no less important such as risk management. Trading that makes a profit is when you are able to balance between ways to make the following with ways to minimize the possibility of excessive risk, as you said that trading is not a get rich quick scheme, I understand that there are some people who have managed to achieve wealth in the world of trading but you also have to understand that success is not easy to get, not as easy as saying and not as easy as turning your palm.

 These are some methods and practices I think traders could use in controlling their emotions when they lose while trading, you could give your opinions or add more if you got any, also I'm open to corrections so feel free to include some corrections in any statement you feel I'm wrong.

Losing when trading is a common thing that happens to every trader, so don't be sad for long when you lose, this is one sentence that always keeps me mentally alert when trading, there is still tomorrow to rearrange plans, reset the deadline  set and also rearrange the capital which want to spend.  One more thing that is no less important is that you have to join a trading community to get knowledge and also a good mentor because usually professional traders have good and stable mods.

Right. It is wrong to think that everything is over after a loss in trading today, because it will give more psychological pressure to the trader to take more trades and revenge trading is always dangerous. Traders continue to lose more by revenge trading and due to this, at one time the trader exits the market after losing a huge amount of funds. So when experienced traders lose a trade in the market, they use their experience to try to take the trade in the next movement of the market so that they can recover the loss if they can take the trade according to their plan. So experience and knowledge are very important in trading, trading results depend on its proper use.

To deal with unnecessary losses in trading one must understand how it works and most people get involved in trading because they have not studied it properly. Controlling emotions in trading is important so that a person does not experience pressure and these emotions can be controlled when we do not engage in excessive trading. Usually beginners are much more at risk of experiencing panic when trading because they don't know what to do when trading doesn't match their plan.

Managing emotions well will help us get involved in risks and although trading does not guarantee permanent victory, when we are able to control risks it is much easier for people to control themselves. Trading must be seen to what extent people can control themselves and when trading takes place it will definitely result in risks.

Because if we can't manage trading correctly, our emotions will swallow us up and put us in a state of lack of control over ourselves, which can lead to bad results in the end.

Besides, it is hard to be good when you are already stressed about thinking about your losses. It was hard to accept defeat when we already assumed that we gonna earn some profit. And much more difficult to control our emotions when we don't calm ourselves. Indeed, controlling our emotions is very important in trading as this will trigger the worst-case scenario. Losing control of our emotions has no good results but instead, this could be the reason for more losses and failures. So instead of chasing our losses, I think taking time to pause and relax will help to calm our minds.  And find out what wrong we've been doing and find solutions to it.

The more it gets hard if you won't move on. Losses are only normal in trading, so one must be used to it already. For those who still feel the pain, maybe they are only greedy to use higher amounts. This is the root cause of our stress so we should work on it first.

Another thing that triggers stress is when our expectations didn't came true. We also need to cut this out. There are times that the preparations that we do is right but it's just that we get unlucky because the market moves in a different direction for some reasons. There is no way that we can find a mistake in here but to pause and relax are already a good remedy for this.

Individuals that trade often are accustomed to losing, so when they are not favored by the market, they learn from their mistakes and get better. However, those who are unwilling to advance will simply whine when they are not favored by the market, at which point they will likely give up. And we know that emotions is attached to everything but we don't have a choice. Management it will help and encouraging how self will also help but all that depends on us. There are things that can be arranged to help you do well in trading example is bitcointalk you can learn and ask questions for free with fear of getting mislead. If you want to trade you need to take things more seriously. If not your money and time will go to waste.

My best strategy for controlling emotions is the extent to which I'm hurt when I think that something better is waiting for me later that I've lost it.And I always believe in this concept that one should never be weak, always have courage and be ready for the next destination. And I must gain something better than what I have lost. I always believe that emotions will be in our control if we think about it. And if you can control your emotions, you can achieve everything.  Because emotions always keep us immersed in bad things and prevent us from doing good things

Those who don't lose at trading never learn trading. No matter how big a trader is, he will definitely fail in any of his trading. When someone loses, he can learn from that loss if he wants to. Loss is a prerequisite to winning in gambling. I try to keep my emotions in trading when I lose. Every trader's emotions are difficult to control when losing. There are many traders who cannot control their emotions and at some point they end up losing more. A trader must acquire proper knowledge before trading. If the trader is not prudent then he will lose in trading.

When someone experiences failure in trading and learns about the mistakes they made then when they return to trading of course they will be careful so as not to make the same mistakes again in the trading that we have done, most people who are losing in trading will of course emotional because they lost the money they had, but if they can control themselves, they will of course rest and learn about the mistakes they made in trading, because if they cannot control themselves, of course they will suffer a lot of losses when they try to trade again in this situation. Emotions and knowledge are of course very important things for someone who wants to trade because if they don't have the knowledge, of course they will suffer a lot of losses because they don't know well what to do in trading.

overwhelming emotion indeed could affect us in a bad way, there's reason why having crippling anxiety is a bad thing and need to be treated, same thing with emotion that could influence our decision, sometime when we are angry, we just can't think by logic but instead by feeling and thats a bad way to get broke eventually if we keep up making decision without logical approach, its always thing like this that causes newbie to just disregard whatever best trading practice and just bet their lifeline on their last attempt of making profit which in turn making them go broke so bad they just decided to abandon trading forever.
in my opinion though handling emotion when losing is easy, just accept the lose streak and move on there's nothing much you can do here, losing many times doesn't mean the next attempt gonna have bigger chance of win, its all the same odd and this sometime causes bias towards many people that thinks if they lose so much eventually they have bigger chance of wining, this doesn't always hold truth.

Self realization would really be the key but not all people would really be that good when it comes to it on which there are ones who are really that good on handling out their emotions and there are ones who arent that good on doing so and this is why they do really end up on having that huge problem on the time that they do make out some mistakes. Losing in trading is inevitable and this is something that you would really be needing to consider about because on the time that you do find yourself not be able to make out some adjustments or having that losing up control then you do know on what comes next.

There are ones how are really that good when it comes to control and handling emotions which it is really that an advantage thing for those who are diving with crypto space.
Because on the time that you are the ones who are really that good with such handling on such situation then it is really that something that could put up that kind of control and realize
on what are the things that you would gonna do in certain situations on which we know that it is really that hard and not all would really be able to do so.

That is how you gain experience, you make mistakes and then you try to not make the same mistakes again. This doesn't mean that you will never make the same mistake twice, there are situations where you could make the same mistake more than a few times, because it is trading and it is not a single day thing, you trade for years, and that means eventually you may make the same mistake sometimes, maybe it will have a year between each other, but it would be the same mistake.

That just means that you end up making enough mistakes where you end up learning more and more about how to just trade better. This is why I believe that it is better to just not focus on how to make a profit, but it is also important to focus on how to not lose as well.

1. Do not overtrade, always allocate time for relaxing and purifying the mind.

Excessive trading is not good for a trader's finances and health. Because when a trader trades excessively, they will sacrifice their rest time by monitoring the market continuously and seeing how the charts keep moving in front of their monitor. This is not recommended for traders, because good traders are those who can manage their time by knowing when to trade and when to rest. By managing trading time and rest time, a trader can maintain a healthy balance between trading and their personal health in the long term.

[Sorryfor]

Since trading is a risky business you must keep your emotions in check or else you can lose your entire money anytime. In trading first you trade with the amount of money you can afford to lose.  There are some newbie traders who trade their entire money without acquiring any deep knowledge and skills about trading and at the end of the day end up with huge disappointment and losses. So in trading you should first start trading with the amount of money you can afford to lose. One more thing is that you have to control your emotions in trading otherwise it will go to extremes. Since this is a very risky job, you must control it. Many people think that they will be successful and make huge profits as soon as they start trading but when they face the reality they suffer from extreme depression and decide to quit so before doing this you should gain enough knowledge and start small projects. Gain the courage to trade.
