Personally, I will make the target for the main job of this forex trading business because we are tired of working in a company with a mediocre salary with this trading. I have a goal when I am successful later, the capital from trading will be used for a small business. Even though it hasn't materialized yet, at least there are realistic goals so that we are always enthusiastic in running this forex business

both of the two we need, because in trading always think realistic it will be able to keep us from overflowing emotions, and optimism will keep our enthusiasm to continue to work hard

between optimistic and realistic actually does not differ much but of course if we have a realistic target it will make us more relaxed in running forex trading.

Being a trader must be optimistic about the efforts we have run, must believe that we will definitely end up successfully, and must be realistic in acting, so that we can not be burdened

both are thoughts that we must have, and this is important when we carry out all the processes, to survive and more importantly so that we can succeed in this trading

In my opinion, depending on the situation, I can be optimistic or realistic as you described, depending on the condition and status of my deposit.

If we are realistic traders, we used to be optimistic traders, we felt we were able to get more than 100 percent profit in one month, but it turns out that our optimism has proven to be a failure, not only failing once but has failed many times, with the target set. Optimistic instead of the profit we get, it's the loss we receive

Just a realistic way of thinking. Trading is trading, if the rules have been made into gambling, then get ready to be kicked from the broker.

If asked like that, I just choose to be realistic, for example with a capital of $ 100, of course, for profit, there is no need to be grandiose. Because you need to know that capital is very important to be able to reap a percentage profit from a trade. It's clear that trading must be realistic and don't put your hopes too high, as above, that is, $100 capital must be $1,000 in a month.

Being too optimistic will also damage the trader's mentality because then the level of confidence that is in him will be higher and in the end he will forget about the fact from the market that forex can suffer losses. So it is certain that being too optimistic is actually very dangerous.

Being a realistic trader will be more profitable because then your emotions will be controlled.

If you are a trader, you are able to make a profit with that amount of capital, of course, you must be optimistic. However, if the ability is not qualified, it is better to think realistically in getting a profit. So, in my opinion, we measure our ability first and then we think about the appropriate target

once in a while I have acted as an optimistic trader within a month wanting a profit that can be said to be funtastis but there are several factors that I think are very mentally burdensome so that the trades that are carried out are not profiting but instead getting a loss and even experiencing a margin call. so basically I think we better be realistic traders so that the age of the account can continue to grow although not so fast.

Better to be a realistic trader. We have calculated the realistic target from the minus and profit aspects. let it be a little later will also develop with the experience and also the profits collected.

By thinking realistically, we will have a mental attitude that is ready to win and ready to lose without blaming ourselves, not easily discouraged and not easily giving up and looking at things with a negative view.
