Trading and emotional control

[Lanatsa]

First thing I learnt from trading is that you are not supposed to take every trade you come across, this is where discipline comes in.. there are times where you need to take a step back it doesn't matter whether you are in profit or lose, most. Traders find themselves getting to excited when they constantly make profit so they place more trades, as a result of this they end up losing money.. This simply shows a lack of emotional control, learn to put your emotions aside as a trader, this is the only way to become more successful in what you do.

Its part of risks management that not every trade is something that you will be that needing up not to trade up on every possibly entry on which we know that when it comes to chances or opportunities not all the time it will be that ideal. This is why its recommended that you do really set out risks management whenever you do make out some trades. At the time that you will be having such having that bad control when it comes to emotion then this will really be that resulting into that kind of impulsiveness on which this will really be causing up that bad decisions. You would be able to realize things at the time that you will be experiencing up trials and errors.

Emotion is the main thing that would be affected because losing money because of losing trades will really be giving out that kind of effect. This is why you will be needing up to have such good control with your emotions because thats a big problem when you are really that doing such aspect because at the moment or time that you will be having that good grasps then that gives out that advantage.

Why is Emotional control one of the most difficult things to do while trading!
I'm not really an expert in trading and I know little but a good knowledge about trading, but one of the things that seems too difficult too control is our emotions when trading.
Each time I make profit, I feel like it's all due to my expertise but if I apply the same strategy I also might end up loosing and sometimes I do get carried away and begin to trade with luck and then end up liquidating my funds.
Please how can I go about this , and what technique or strategy seems to be best for trading?

Over time you get to learn that those emotions were actually acting as a teacher in your trading journey.. to be frank, when I started trading back then. I had sleepless nights, with or without trading. Why? I kept thinking what would happen if I was actually going into a path that wasn't mine. Is my strategy actually working? But then as time went on, I came to realize that trading was not just a journey of a mile, but a journey of a thousand miles. Your losses, your greeds, emotions and every thing you experience as a newbie trader will actually coach you when you start becoming profitable....

Managing emotions is more difficult, because not everyone is able to control their emotions. It is not something that can be learned in a day or two, it must be a habit and a person's ability to control themselves. So to overcome this, try to get used to not acting hastily in your trading and get used to setting limits. Over time you will be able to get used to it and you will be able to control your emotions.

And you should better understand the various strategies in trading and match which one is right for you, because trading with luck is not much different from gambling.

I think controlling emotions in trading it's most big important things, because if you will make a mistake emotionally and it's impact will be high in your portfolios, i lost my full capital in trading because i can not control my emotion in right time, still i am facing such problem in a trading just for one emotional trade.

Being able to control emotions when trading is certainly very much needed so as not to make the wrong decisions on the trading that is done and result in losses for them and also with emotions there will certainly be many losses that will be experienced, losing capital for those who trade emotionally is indeed a natural thing and to be able to avoid this, of course, they must practice often until they can control their emotions when trading because anyone who trades with emotions certainly cannot make any profit from the trading.

Since you already know that anytime you get emotional in your trading, you end up losing that trade, what are you supposed to do? I don’t think there is a need to even bring this up here because you already know the problem of why you always lose your money in trading, so you should just find a solution to it. And that is all; emotions are very important.

You need to be emotional, okay? Before you can trade, what I mean is that you need to know that getting profit from trading today doesn’t guarantee another profit tomorrow. You may be on the losing side of the market; that is why you shouldn’t follow your emotions to trade. Sometimes I think it is due to insufficient knowledge, because I feel like if you have enough knowledge and experience of trading, you won’t think about that.

Its a must thing to consider when you do deal up with trading on which this will be needing have that good control when it comes to emotion impulsiveness because this what would be resulting into bad actions or decisions on which it will be causing up that even more problem or loses. Experience is something that will really be needing up to learn something because this is where you will be able to make yourself wary about into the things on what this market brings. This is why at the time or moment that you do become that become experienced and this is where you do make out adjustments and make your trading ways even more better but of course it wont really be that an assurance that you will be able to make money or good trades. There would really be tons of factors on which it will really be that affecting overall profitability on which we know that there will really be that different actions to take. If you wont be able to control yourself then this is where problems or issues will be that even more worst and this is why adjustment be made on when it comes into this aspect. Its important that you do really need up have considerations on what are the things that needed up to consider.

Please how can I go about this , and what technique or strategy seems to be best for trading?

Yesterday I was in a cafe meeting an old friend who I haven't seen for a long time. That's where I found out that my friend is an active trader in the nasdaq market. The trading pattern he did when I saw it was quite good in terms of his self-control over his condition in his trading activities.

It just so happens that there is someone who wants to meet him to discuss trading, it turns out that his friend does trading unlike other traders which makes my friend say that one way to control emotions in trading is to frequently check how much the fiat currency exchange rate is with USD so as not to be obsessed with continuing to do what makes a trader lose. At least by paying attention to the D1 pattern.

I disagree with this, emotion can't be a teacher, it is a punisher, a bad characteristic that must be frowned upon and avoided immediately. It doesn't matter whether you are new or old in trading, fight and win emotion, there's no alternative to that. We should not pamper it as though it is teaching us something when we can avoid it from the start. Notwithstanding, I understand what you wanted to say, it is the "failure" the emotion caused that's the teacher, not the emotion itself.

[Oshio-man]

Just try and work on your emotional no matter what it will cause you op and you will start making it from trading, I know is very difficult to control emotions when you are eager to make income from trading because you will like to trade with huge amount of funds that will make you to share tears when you lost in the trading, Trade what you can afford to lose in trading and it will help you to stay in trading so long either gaining or losing in trading.

Yes, in the end it's just a matter of time and can go through the trading process so that it can give birth to experience from that experience we can make lessons and be able to control emotions or be able to control emotional management in trading. Because controlling emotions is not as easy as theory but must be practiced and must go hand in hand with time.

Because the key to success in trading when we can be emotional, when your emotions are unstable it will have an impact on bad decision making or can even fall into greed. For that, before trading, make a trading plan and be disciplined with the trading plan you make. If this is applied slowly, emotions in trading can be controlled by balancing it with experience. Whatever we do, be it business, investment, or gambling, experience is always a teacher to achieve success.

In the end, we are not going to end up making too much money if we are emotional and that is the reason. If we gain experience, then the emotions will be a lot less and we won't face the same things, we just have to accept that and move on. And I know that it is going to be pretty tough, but we can make this work and for that reason I am sure that we are going to make a lot of money, without a doubt. I know that it is going to take a while, but if we can do what we come here to do, then it is not going to be that much of an issue.

Experience doesn't get rid of your emotions, it just makes it easier to control, plus sort of does get rid of them in the sense that you do not feel too overtly about them, if you are worried, then you are still worried, just not rushing into action because of it.

If one has a loss in something one thinks of making up for it because it is quite difficult and time consume to make up for it.  It is very difficult to be patient in such works because there is a lot of thought for one profit but when a loss occurs, it becomes a headache which becomes difficult to control.  It is a job that requires the most patience because it is easy for some people but it also takes its toll which makes some people go into depression and stop working.  But there is both profit and loss in life which we have to do for the rest of our life.  We should focus on our goal which will give us all our attention and we will get patience as well as profit.

Nope, that isn't why they will end up losing money on trades they were already in profit. What will make them lose money is if they don't place a wedge in form of Break Even (BE) at their entry position to guard their capital or place a partial take profit by moving their stop slightly above their entry level and then allow the trade run to their speculated Take Profit level. Anything other than that will mean that such a trader stands the risk of giving up their profit back to the market once there's a change in price action. Trading is a highly speculative business and as such whatever profit we seem to make while trades are ongoing should be protected at all cost.

Managing emotions is more difficult, because not everyone is able to control their emotions. It is not something that can be learned in a day or two, it must be a habit and a person's ability to control themselves. So to overcome this, try to get used to not acting hastily in your trading and get used to setting limits. Over time you will be able to get used to it and you will be able to control your emotions.

And you should better understand the various strategies in trading and match which one is right for you, because trading with luck is not much different from gambling.

When you actually take your emotions very serious when it comes to trading then you have soft half of your problems because I'm very sure a lot of trades are actually battling with how they can actually control their emotions song. Don't even want to control their emotion, but it is very, very, very important to take your emotions into consideration so that you don't make costly mistakes. When it comes to trading.

When you're consistent in trading, you will learn a lot of things and that is when you'll be a master controller of your own emotions because the more you do things the more you get better at it this is one of the reason they always say experience is the best teacher I love to fuck that we will want to explore But when you are Exploring it will be better to explore it a demo accounts where you know you won't lose or have anything to lose.

Because in trading, there's a lot of difficult  times you face what the time you will be able to get over it it is only when you give up that it is bad but when you continue even when you are not making profit yet, it is just a matter of time before it starts raining.

Especially who's started trade with huge amount, when emotion is big factor, you can't control your emotion it will be very difficult, because your capital is big, if it will lose then you could be depressed so i would like to start trade with low capital, it it lose then i will not be highly affected for losses it's my own strategy.

The size used for trading when someone experiences failure will certainly have a sense of disappointment and also emotion and to be able to control emotions of course we must be able to really understand trading well to be able to trade properly and to be able to control emotions of course we must not be greedy when trading so that we have to lose the profits that have been obtained, if you think using a small capital can control emotions of course you have to be satisfied with the small profit you get but if you have understood trading well of course you will be able to know the right time to enter and exit to make a profit from the trading you do.

Smaller or bigger - the thing that differs between the two is the person working with said capital.
That's why, at the start, it's wise to keep making small steps with smaller depo, to not to be loosing hope / ruining the expectations from your sessions.

[cute nmp]

The two go together we can't trade without emotions though it affects us negatively most of times . One can just remain calm especially if he is losing money we just need to have more control.

There may be differences of opinion on this, but I am sure the goal remains the same, which is for something more positive in the future. Both those who say emotions can be teachers or those who say otherwise, it's just that in this case what differentiates is the way of conveying it, but I see the goal is the same, I hope I'm right. Emotions are part of the journey and they cannot be separated from our lives at all. But without realizing it, actually when controlling our emotions we also use emotions. What I mean is this, let's say there are 2 emotions, namely negative emotions and positive emotions. When negative emotions dominate, then to be able to control them we use positive emotions to dampen them.
