What are the ways to control emotions during trading ?

[YOSHIE]

The problem I face is , I open orders frequently and take profits in very short time. But if I see price increase   after I sale , I feel like stupid. I don't know how to control this . Help me ?

It's better for you to take 3% profit, rather than always being haunted by feelings of regret and fear of losses, in the trading method in the crypto market it often happens as you feel, for me this is something that happens often and is common.

For this reason, ordering and selling at a certain time, short is better than having to see your asset orders plummet and then you pass out, what's more, the current crypto market situation is unstable, for me doing what you are doing now is better in my opinion.

Absolutely, you have nailed the essentials out and yes, emotions are the silent risk in trading, often more dangerous than the market itself. So sticking to your plan, respecting your stop-loss and taking profit levels, and only trading within your capacity are crucial. Getting greedy is the fastest way to undo discipline, and once regret sets in, it will cloud your judgment and just lead to more mistakes. At the end of the day, trading responsibly is about protecting your mindset. A calm, disciplined trader will consistently outperform a trader driven by impulse.

And being unable to control your emotions while trading will cause one to have a lot of losses, which is why its essential for people to have all what it takes about trading, so that it will make one to have that cautiousness of knowing what to do.
And it also makes one to have the right tool to use it, which is also important in trading and this will help them to prevent most mistakes that people do act, which always makes them to have more losses than profits and having such losses makes one to lose interest in trading, making them to easily give up in trading because things doesn't always go as they do planned.

Emotions are more harmful to manage uncertain ways of making money. Such as gambling and short-term trading. Caution is about what kind of strategy can be applied to reduce the risk of your funds. Knowing about risk is important for a trader and it is a fundamental thing for trading. Controlling emotions is about establishing control over yourself and being responsible for your available funds.

From the time you act responsibly you will most of the time refrain from making immature decisions without gaining knowledge about the market. And you can easily understand the chemistry of the market, it will be ideal to know about the coins and the top coins in a wide range and to know about all the things you buy by checking the market cap. In a fundamental thing in trading, if you can calculate the risk of the funds and you can use the funds for trading considering your own financial capability the chances of profit increase.

Basically everything will definitely end badly when emotions are involved, and in trading in my opinion one way to control or prevent emotions from happening in my opinion is by.

1. Trade with an amount that does not exceed your ability.
2. Discipline to the plan such as stopping after reaching SL / TP
3. Don't be greedy, because in most cases greed
 ends up in regret and regret is what
 invites emotions.
4. Trade responsibly.

Yes, all those points are correct, my friend. And they are all related to risk management and money management in trading, which are very important for a trader to apply.
I personally try to be disciplined in applying risk management. Although there are times when my emotions get the better of me, I always stay within my limits.

The most important thing is that we shouldn't be too afraid of missing out on profits. Because the crypto market is always open 24/7. So we don't need to rush. We have plenty of time to analyze before starting.

I agree. It should be noted that emotional control is not achieved by being strong, but by setting such clear boundaries that emotions have no room to influence decisions.
I would also add to the points you highlight the importance of separating identity from results, i.e., taking into account that a negative trade does not define you as a trader or as a person, and also knowing when not to trade. Self-control also means knowing when to close the platform.

Many people are facing that kind of situation in the market and when they will go towards more profit then they will lose more because they  are stupid and they are increasing their greed . That is your test in the market when you are selling by getting profit but after that market go up and you are thinking that I did mistake but you should try to lose less which should be your purpose. When you are taking more risk then there are chances to get more if market go up but there are less chances to go up in the market. When you will lose more then you will be dishearted which is worse than getting low profit. Your mind should be stable if you want to get more profit in your life and if you are not stable then you will lose more and more .

It doesn't matter what strategy you use, as long as the end result is profitable, regardless of how you execute it. Even if you're a scalping trader, it carries a higher risk than other types of traders. Because positions are opened and closed in a relatively short period of time, the risk of being swept away by the market is high. The most important thing is to remain consistent, follow your strategy when entering, apply stop loss orders regularly, and always place take profit orders according to your setup.

Well, I understand what you are saying, but for you to win big, you have to be greedy, taking small profit when you should have stayed longer and make more money will cost you a lot when you experience a bad trading day, because in trading you might use 2 weeks to make $1k dollar and use just a single bad trade to lose everything if proper risk management strategies is not implemented.
 So this small small profit you might be taking now, instead of waiting for more might looks good, but you will regret it with one big loss, because in your best trading day, you fail to take good advantage of the opportunity.

Honestly if to say the traders are working with the methods you mentioned earlier they won’t be fall in too much of losing their money in trading, but most of traders always expecting big profits ever they enter the markets that’s why they don want to take the small profits. And trading is involved of so many risks, is rather they take the little profits they’ve earned than lose everything.

They said that opportunities come but once so it’s good for we to take advantage of the opportunities that come our way than regrets later in the day.

Most people don't know that there are many ways on how they can control their emotions, especially when it comes to gambling site.
That is why its always encouraged that people should take their time and learn more about crypto, either in investing and in trading, so that they will know all it takes for them to be successful or profitable in trading, so that they can know the right wallets, e.t.c, to help them prevent scams or losses, because trading can be volatile which some people might not be aware of it, which usually lead them in bankrupt and depressed.

Yes, that's right. In the end, the most important thing for a trader is to make a profit, regardless of the strategy used. This is because every trader has their own strategy with their own reliable indicators. And it is traders who are disciplined in applying the principles of trading who are ultimately more likely to maximize their profits. For example, by implementing risk management effectively and not deviating from the plan set by the risk management itself. Because with risk management, we can determine where to place stop losses and where to position ourselves to take profits, supported by prior technical analysis.
