😌 If being smart was enough, there would be a lot of people making money.
But in Forex trading, psychological control is essential for success.
Almost everyone participating in the market knows that "we need to control our trading psychology" and its importance, but knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.
🙂Controlling trading psychology is one of the most important skills in financial investment in general and Forex investment in particular. The more experienced traders become, the more they understand the importance of controlling trading psychology.
📖I want to share a few things from my many years of experience about controlling psychology in this market.
👉I have had times where I traded diligently, made a small amount of money every day and then blew all my profits overnight, even with just one trade.
- After such times, I wasn't even afraid, on the contrary, I was still determined to win at all costs. But you already know the result.
- I kept my eyes glued to the screen, glued to the orders I was trading, my heart rate = skyrocketing according to the numbers.
- That not only affects my daily work but also affects my health and life a lot.
- Many times I stay up until the morning to watch the midnight Fed report and if nothing changes then I look for trading opportunities as usual.
⚡️When I'm lucky, I have a few winning orders and feel very comfortable.
And when I'm unlucky (that's what I thought at the time), having to receive consecutive losing orders makes me always in a state of stress, irritable, and just waiting to explode.
It's time for me to understand that, to survive in this harsh Forex market, I need to find a way to control my psychology so I no longer fall into wrong trading decisions that make me regret it.
Of course, many of the proposed options do not come at the same time.
⚡️Then I realized that I needed more specific, stronger actions to do that, not just words to myself.
⚡️ I wrote out sticky notes and stuck them right on the screen in front of me so I could always keep them within reach
eyes: "Mandatory things to follow to control psychology".
If that is also the problem you are facing, this article is for you.
I have applied them and clearly noticed the positive changes they bring.
1. STOP TRADING WHEN YOU HAVE A STRAIN OF CONSECUTIVE LOSING ORDERS
⚡️This is an extremely effective way to control psychology in Forex trading, helping to control emotions and keep your psychology intact.
you are back to normal.
⚡️Not only you or me, but all longtime Forex traders in the world have experienced losing streaks consecutive.
⚡️ Simply because Forex trading is a "game" of probability. Maybe you are using a trading system that has a winning probability of up to 80% and has been proven in a long time.
⚡️ That doesn't mean you won't have a streak of 5 or 10 losing trades in a row, even
even longer than that.
⚡️Seriously, when you have a great trading system with a winning rate of up to 80%, it means With 100 trades, you only gain 20. But you cannot know where those 20 losing orders are among the 100.
⚡️ We are just normal people, most of us can't keep it
mentally calm and just want to reclaim what was lost, immediately.
That is also the time when your trading psychology gradually loses control.
⚡️You want to enter the order immediately, even if the conditions of the trading system have not been satisfied.
⚡️Not only that, you also increase the transaction volume several times to... remove it quickly.
⚡️Of course, you continue to make mistakes. But when you make a mistake, bad things will come rushing back. When you wake up, your account is gone what else.
⚡️That's it, when you fall into a series of consecutive losses, try to look at the PIECE OF PAPER RECORDED ON THE SCREEN, you trading needs to be stopped, IMMEDIATELY.
⚡️Instead, step outside, take a few walks to regain your composure, and absolutely do not turn on the computer until when you feel like you're really okay.
⚡️I will continue to update part 2 to wish you effective trading.⚡️
