Why is controlling emotions one of the best ways to be successful because people who are able to control emotions well are people who are experts in managing psychology because you have to remember that 80 to 90% of the use of forex trading is about psychological and emotional problems. When you have psychology and emotions stable, then whatever you do, whether it's losing or failing or MC, it doesn't matter because you still have motivation. You still have the enthusiasm to fight. But when you don't have stable emotions, even though you are professional, even though you are good at analyzing, everything will be destroyed and of course you will be stressed. So you should be able to prioritize the use of emotions in a stable manner when you want to be successful in trading

As you said earlier, emotional control is very important for us to use because by controlling emotions we can also control risks because by controlling emotions and being able to make our emotions more stable we are able to carry out trading with the right results because explosive emotions will not be able to makes us consistent. In fact, with high emotions we will always lose, we will always be people who get angry easily, easily blame others for our own actions and that will end badly, therefore it is very important to learn to control your emotions as much as you can so that you can manage everything precisely on target

You are obliged to be able to control your emotions well because when you can control your emotions well then you can trade appropriately. Unstable emotions will make you unable to think clearly and you will definitely get emotional easily when you fail once, even though trading is emotional. This is one of the most dangerous things that makes us fail more, therefore it is very important for us to get used to controlling our emotions significantly.

Controlling emotions can be used in the form of risk control and being patient when trading forex. These emotions will usually make us become other people who don't care about our own system. Usually these emotions will make us become people who always want revenge and are greedy, therefore when these emotions come to us and we feel them then we have to be patient, we have to be able not to trade first, we have to be able to control ourselves. to stop because when you continue then what will happen to you will get worse and you will do everything you can to get the money you lost and that will actually damage your system and maybe you will MC therefore controlling your emotions must be clear in a way right so that everything becomes more comfortable and you don't carry out trading activities with such severe emotions.

Emotional control is closely related to our trading results. The more we can keep our emotions stable and not easy, then when we fail, the more we can control the situation. We must be able to have the mindset that everything that happens in that person's rating must be able to be used as a reference. to be successful we must be able to accept all profits or losses, especially losses, if we lose then we must be able to stop first we rest we wait until the trend conditions really match our expectations we don't need to trade every day which is called trading The correct thing is to open a position when there is momentum, when there is no momentum we don't need to open a position and that is a normal thing as a trader.

Controlling emotions is a type of effort that we can do if we want to calm ourselves when we previously faced a problem or maybe we lost some of our capital, therefore it is important to study emotions when we first trade by using a demo account.  .  If possible, we must be able to learn to control our emotions because whatever makes us fail is usually emotions that are too high. We cannot accept our defeat. We cannot be sincere with our failure. Therefore, these emotions will appear. We are afraid that we will do things that make us lose.  actually become more unsuccessful.

Maybe you need to think positively often if you often get emotional because positive thinking can help you to see situations from a different perspective and reduce stress. But this emotional nature is a basic human nature. Many traders have emotional nature when trading but of course we can reduce this by controlling it.

It is very clear that controlling emotions is something that is important for us to use when we fail, especially when emotions arise and we must be alert to immediately release or stabilize these emotions. Imagine something beautiful, for example, when you are hit by a stop loss, don't be emotional, think about it. It's positive that it's better for you to have a stop loss than for your position to be floating minus far which will cause the loss to be even bigger, therefore you have to be able to take the positive side so that controlling your emotions is easy to use.

Controlling emotions is something that is indeed one of the factors of our success when we carry out trading activities. We cannot escape from emotions, especially when we may be hit by a stop loss or may fail to get the target. Emotions are indeed something that is normal, but when you don't  can control your emotions and you continue to use emotions every time you don't achieve your goals, it will actually be detrimental to you because we can't go back to the past. What we can do is be sincere. What we can do is accept it all well and try for a better future.  better.

Most traders often focus too much on analytical skills without considering emotions. We can analyze the strategies that successful traders use, but in the end that is what makes successful traders experience losses if they don't care about emotions. We can learn from the experiences of successful traders, because being successful is not easy if we can control our emotions

When you are carrying out risky trading activities, you should be able to learn to control your emotions because if you are not able to learn to control your emotions well then when you fail you will be stressed.  However, you must be able to understand how to trade in a more appropriate way so that later you can focus on trading without emotion because psychological use is important so that when you get something that is used, your expectations can still be enthusiastic. You can still have a strong mentality.

Yes, it is mandatory for you to control your emotions because when you are able to control your emotions well, then you can create results in a stable way because emotions sometimes make us unable to think clearly and unable to take the right actions, therefore it is very important  to make our emotions stable when we trade. If it turns out that our Open position is hit by a stop loss or is experiencing a floating minus, we must not be emotional, therefore we must be able to maintain our management so that when we are hit by something we don't want, we can still maintain  our money well.

Successful traders must be able to control their emotions. Controlling your own emotions is a difficult challenge, but it can be learned. Maybe we should read a lot about trading psychology so that we can control our emotions well and can also ask experienced traders.
