Forex trading psychology (III)



We keep going and we get to greed. That is the leading sense in trading, but not only. Even though you have read in advance that it is very important to follow the chosen strategy and close the deals when you get a signal or the price reaches the specified level, it's not that easy at all. By seeing the profit, besides the sense of satisfaction, you will feel another - called greed. Greed will try to keep you in position because you can win more. Of course, in most such cases, the price goes in the opposite direction, and the trader loses some or all of the profit gained so far.
The objective data on the stock exchange is only 10% and the other 90% is psychology. We can summarize that demo trading is very useful, but it should not be overwhelmed with it because it leads to false confidence in less experienced traders. Those who manage to control their emotions can be profitable.

„Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process.” – Benjamin Graham
