Forex between emotion and mind - page 2

Emotions - they differentiate humans from robots. That's why I can't say that emotions are always bad in trading. Because of them we are able to feel the market. We must block our greed.

You are right, we should control our greed and fear, but some emotions like hope and passions are good to be used in forex market.

Yes, it is between our emotion and our mind. Our mind has to fight with our emotion and when our mind makes victory over the emotion we are able to win the trades. So we should make strong of our mind.

it is your emotion that controls your greed. its increased and decreased based on the state of your emotions.

when a trader is too excited and feels to sure of himself and his system, he starts trading high lots.

guess traders should invest in producing a drug that controls emotion or put emotion in check.

just like the cruise control in a car, it always return the car to the speed limit set in the cruise control.

another solution is to have a script attached to your trading platform or account.

the script will resist or refuse to execute trade others that are higher than predefined limits.

When there is risk involve, there is always fear. The higher the risk ,the higher emotions you feel.What you can do to control your risks that emotions bring,risk only the money that you can afford to lose. Never put all your money in one trade.Work first with your confidence,start with a strategy that offers a low risk.
