What are the ways to control emotions during trading ?

[fredericktaylor]

I follow some basics during trading . Like I make plans while I first start trading. When to enter, when to exit, what If price hits SL? I do not like to take losses and that is why I usually make small profits. if I see price increases 3%, I sale always.
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 ?

I think I am the only person facing this problem, but I build my confidence to monitor the trade for sometimes ti at least test my patience and my analysis, and when I started doing that, I see changes. I do make some profit with at least 50% PNL, but I am still afraid to let that one go, and once I decided to cancel the trade to take the little profit like that to avoid greed, the price do pump sometimes but I don’t normally regret again because I took my profit, and it is better than leaving that little profit and end up losing some money.

Controlling emotions or greed is very difficult, but controlling greed is very important to achieve success in trading, if we cannot control our emotions or greed, then the chances of losing money instead of gaining money through trading increase manifold. Success in trading can be achieved by waiting patiently for a long time with the right knowledge and entering the market at the right time. When we can gain the right knowledge about the ups and downs of the market and consistently apply it in practice and wait for the right time, we can reach our destination.

Sometimes if you wait too long in future trading, you will get liquidated because anything can change in your analysis especially when Bitcoin price changes with immediate effect, and as a small trader with little capital, I can afford to lose all I have for now because I am not an expert in trading, I am using this to practicality try what I am learning.

Waiting too long can be greed in my own case, so I prefer taking the little profit I have or wait patiently if I am in a loss for a recovery in price then take the little profit if it happens I am lucky to be in profit. Trading is really hard, and you need to be prepared.

When trading, it's very easy to get distracted based on the ongoing activities in the market. We should not panic but settle our mind when we're about to place a trade, afterall we're not newbies in the market. I know emotions have ruined so many good opportunities in trading and making us experience major setbacks in the market.

Greed is another big issue in the market. Becoming too greedy when you've successfully hit your target in the market. It doesn't help matters because at the end of the trade, one might actually lose everything and even owe huge debts. Trade is not a do or die affair, the little profits you made, you close for the day and move on.

This is an emotional problem along side with knowledge, you need to make more researches on how the market works, by the time you back test your strategy (mastering entry and exit) and you start seeing good results, if you don't see search for more knowledge until you have mastered it, once you have don thet and you have back tested it you will gather enough confidence to enter a trade set your to and also set your sl confidently settings and forgetting, until it hits one.

Emotional management remains a significant challenge for traders within the crypto ecosystem. When emotions spiral out of control, fear and anxiety inevitably set in. The truth is, success requires firm confidence in one’s own market analysis.

Trading must be driven by a specific plan or objective. While the ultimate goal is profitability, one must understand the mechanics of the trade rather than relying on groundless predictions and uncertainty.

I see several points that traders can apply to control their emotions. First, use a stop-loss SL/TP when trading. Equally important, don't be greedy and always be content with the profits you achieve, even if they are sometimes small.
When you have a clear trading plan, you shouldn't think too quickly about exiting the market when you achieve a profit. I see you use the term SL/TP and you certainly have a plan for when you want to enter and exit.

Most traders wonder why they need to exit so quickly when they're in profit, and when holding a losing position, we're accustomed to holding on to slightly larger losses. Using SL/TP can be helpful in situations like this, preventing you from feeling foolish when exiting the market with a small or large profit.

It is quite normal for traders to be emotionally involved when trading. If a trader cannot keep emotions within a certain level, then he will be harmed by his emotions. To control emotions, a trader must keep clear entry and exit. There are many people who cannot control the level of risk, and in their case, the possibility of trading with emotions increases. If the risk can be reduced, then the level of trading with emotions of the trader can also be reduced. Generally, most traders try to trade with greed or emotions, which if controlled, can be profitable from trading.

Having that mentality that trading is something one has to exercise patience before they can get what they want because its a very risky thing, which one can predict how the market will be and without having that cautiousness of what trading is, one can make mistakes which most newbies usually make that often lead them into regretting their actions later.
So in order for one to have more profits than loss, one should make the necessary adjustments for them to have a successful trade.

As a trader one  should understand that the market always rewards knowledgeable and patient ones, we should understand that we do not need to rush things in the cryptocurrency market let take things lightly and always understand that the more we keep having trust in our analysis and trusting the procedure the easier we will make good profits.
A trader should get the point that we do not need to have the mindset of making fast money in trading instead we need to focus and make sure we grab the possible knowledge we need so we can make good entries. Let exercise patient and walk in the direction of the market, no pressure and we will see the positive outcomes.
