Topic: How to handle emotions when you lose during trading. - page 4. (Read 1104 times)
When it comes to trading, you must learn to control your emotions. If we don't have full control over our emotions then we will definitely get hurt by trading. For example, we take a trade and after taking the trade, the market temporarily dumps a bit and that dumping lasts for a while, then if we get excited and think with our emotions instead of thinking with our conscience, we sell our coins at a loss at that time, but there We had a big loss.But at that time if we wait for some time without getting overly excited and wait for the good condition of the market then the money that we have faced will recover again when the market is in that condition. This happened to me a lot but I was patient during that time and I waited for some profit. Maybe it is very difficult and very challenging but it is much better to accept this challenge than to lose your money.

How to handle emotions when you lose during trading. Basically, you already said it before and that all is true in my opinion, but I want to mention one thing do not trade using leverage hahaha I mean leverage trading looks delicious but it comes with greater risk I mean crypto itself is already high risk and if you trading with leverage meaning you double the risk IMO.
Crypto trading can be boring at some point and the major reason you believe leverage trading is delicious is because of the beautiful reward it involves. Just as you have said if we judge the leverage based on the risk it entails it's never a good form of trading and I always advise people not to partake in it.Do not overtrade and keep money management tight, if you trade spot only overtrade is unlikely to happen since you put Entry Take profit, and stop loss and yo go not to watch and stick to the monitor all day long at least this happen to me. FInaly if you still like using leverage trading know when to take profit and know when to stop
The best way to not overtrade is to take a break from crypto trading and in some cases, it also helps with money management for those that can't control their emotion.
Someone with enough knowledge about the market and the ups and downs this path of trading can have would never leave the market due to losses they incur in the initial stage because they would know these things happen when you get into a financial market while having no previous experience with such things. Such people will keep learning and improving over time so that they can correct the mistakes they have previously made to avoid more losses.
Only people who lack knowledge about trading and the market will leave the market after incurring losses in the initial stage because they don't know it's normal and even experts have to face losses in certain market situations so there is nothing to worry about this and they need to keep patience and keep learning.

Look the best way to control your emotions is to make up your mind that trading is only a side income and you can't be completely dependent on it. I know some people will say that it's a full time opportunity blah blah. It can be true but it brings a lot of stress with It if we go with it as a solo option for earning.
You have to make sure that you only invest the amount that is spared and not needed for a long time. If that money is gone it shouldn't affect your life. Yet you'll be a little bit affected by the loss and that's natural to try to control your nerves. When you go through these types of situations spend time with your loved ones who will love you no matter what your financial conditions are you'll definitely feel better.
Its certain that if you ended up with unbearable losses, you will eventually become highly affected and emotional on that. Everyone knows that. But I believe if you stick to your trading plan, and trade only on such amount that you are comfortable to lose, then losing in trading might never be a big issue for you.You have to make sure that you only invest the amount that is spared and not needed for a long time. If that money is gone it shouldn't affect your life. Yet you'll be a little bit affected by the loss and that's natural to try to control your nerves. When you go through these types of situations spend time with your loved ones who will love you no matter what your financial conditions are you'll definitely feel better.
Also, you were right then. Don’t rely in trading for your income completely. You will only get hurt and frustrated if your expectations weren’t met, so avoid that kind of mindset.
We can control our emotions, but not really 100%, especially in things that we don't expect to happen often. Our adrenalin suddenly changes in such situations. So it is important for us traders to have control over ourselves while conducting trading activity on an exchange.
And the only thing that is often carried by their emotions is that they cannot control it when there is a sudden fall in the coins that we hold as holders.
Controlling emotions is not an easy task but to some extent we can hide our emotions in order to avoid losses in our life. Emotions play an adverse rule if we don't are not satisfied with our profit and wish for more so I think once we accept our little profit then we will not decide wrong that will put adverse effects on our future.
If we are long term holders then sudden changes can make our decision altered but we have to think about target instead of wasting time on useless thoughts. Thinking all the time about market changes can also be possible for putting you in greed or fear therefore keep control your emotions while you see that market is fluctuating more.
Overtrading is not good at all. It is bad for health and also it might lead to losses. But if a trader is good, as he is making money from trading, it will enliven him to be opening positions more often but and checking the market also more often. This is not good at all. Too much trading is not good.
If someone is doing overtrading, it may not have enough time to do technical analysis about the coin it wants to trade. If not because of eagerness to make quick money, why would someone be doing overtrading, when managing even one trading is not easy due to the risk trading involves? If someone involved itself by doing overtrading, it may likely to lose even if the person is a good trader, as the person is just trading to put themselves in a position of losing money in trading.
After all trading always requires calmness in terms of decision making, but when you overdo it then yes obviously there is a big possibility that in the end instead of making a profit you end up with a lot of losses. Trading is difficult and sometimes when we spend too much time in the market then it is usually very easy for us to lose consciousness over time because of seeing market conditions that always seem to be a favorable moment which actually happens because your concentration and focus have begun to break down due to being there for too long which ends up with mistakes in decision making, this is the reason why we are advised to apply profit targets and loss limits, so that we don't stay in the market for too long.

Trading only becomes stressful and frustrating when you trade using your own hard-earned funds that only end up with losses. That will really make you sick with trading, most especially if you made it as your main source of income, when in reality it shouldn’t be due to its high risk and highly unpredictable outcome. So the best solution is probably never trade if you think the market condition is not suitable to trade, and trade only as your side hustle, so that losses might still be bearable since you’re not trading for survival, but just for extra income.You have to make sure that you only invest the amount that is spared and not needed for a long time.

that you could really be able to make positions that too easy. Come to think that everything is random and since we are just humans then emotions would really be normally be kicking, it would really be just that a matter of self control and handling on such condition. This is why it would really be better that you do really know on what you are doing and loses is really that very normal and this is something that needs up to have that kind of control and moderation because if you do miss it out or simply you do become that impulsive then it would really mess up your trading plans and analysis entirely.
One of the best things that you should do is to be versatile and self acceptance because if you do find yourself that too highly reacting into various situations then you cant really be able to think up well.

One of the cause of failure in trading is too much leverage. But also the coin that we are using to trade is very important. You can be a good trader but the coin you are trading can be causing losses. Do not trade shit coins.
A trader should always know that trading is as risky as gambling. This is very important. The risk should be minimize with good strategies and also aiming for profit.

Traders are always selective about the coin they want to trade, so whenever a trader does technical analysis, it will definitely know whether it is shit coins promising or not, traders can't really avoid all shit coins because many of them make good profit from there but the truth is that when trading shitcoin, I will advise not to trade with a huge amount of money.
You what to handle your emotion when you lose trade? It is very simple and you don't have to worry yourself too much about it.
The first thing to do is to get out of the house, maybe to a restaurant or a reserve place and ho get some food and drinks.
You can even call your friends or love one to join you. Eat good food and have funs with people around you to ease the emotion that is troubling. After that you can go home because you must be tired by then, you can on TV and watch your favorite program or just go to bed. By the time you wake up the second day, you will feel alright.

Do not overtrade, always allocate time for relaxing and purifying the mind.
This is one of the major reason why most traders become emotional due to over trading and not sparing time for other things, these set of people don't take their eyes off the market even when the market isn't favourable but yet they will always want to diverse means to maneuver but yet at the end of the day, they keep losing and become so emotionally attached to their trading behaviours 
That’s right. Emotions are inevitable, so it will always comes out no matter how we keep trying to control it. And that’s normal for us traders. However, majority of newbie traders are said to trade following their emotions and satisfy them, not realizing that it would only lead them to make undesirable trades which would always end up in losses.
Emotions are the best enemy in trading. So if you think you are feeling high emotions, just learn to take a break from trading right away. That’s the best way so you can avoid or limit your losses in trading. Just return to trading if you think your emotions are already stable.

Especially in the involvement of trading where trading is a profession that strongly involves money as capital to gain profits and the possibility of loss as a risk that can never be avoided completely. So of course a trader is required and demanded to have control over himself and his emotions because this is a profession that always requires making the right decisions to be able to gain profits, while on the other hand when you are experiencing emotions then obviously it is very unlikely for you to be able to make the right decisions in the midst of emotions that are dominating which in the end in some cases some traders even suffer a considerable amount of losses.

I agree with you many times in trading we can't control our emotions many times we get emotional. If we decide not to control our emotions then we don't get much success in trading so controlling our emotions is very important. Big traders lose control of emotions. When it comes to trading, we must have enough knowledge about the trade. If we don't gain enough knowledge about the trade, how can we trade? Newbies must first gain enough knowledge about the trade. have to do In the case of trade, we should always have a long-term plan. If we keep a long-term plan and can trade patiently by checking the market, we can definitely get success through this trade.
No trader can control his or her emotions 100%. There are days we feel sad over our losses and there are days we get excited because of the profits we have made. So, getting emotional is normal as a trader but it only becomes a problem when we allow our emotions go out of hand to the extent of controlling our actions. Traders need to really understand that as far as trading is concerned, losses are bound to occur, so their is no point feeling guilty and blaming oneself over losses that occurred, such acts will only escalate things and cause more harm. Rather, if a trader feels like his mistakes caused his loss, he should learn from such mistake and upgrade his skill. Getting losses is not a death sentence, upgrade yourself and enjoy the world of trading.

1. Do not overtrade, always allocate time for relaxing and purifying the mind.
2. Do not abuse leverage.
3. Do not place high hopes on trading, always stay alert.
4. Act wisely and appeal to a rational sense rather than an emotional component.
These are some of the key points about trading that are understood by those who have gained some experience.
Placing high hopes on trades could aswell include trying to bring your problems to the market because that will never help you as you would definitely not trade in the right frame of mind and yet become prone to trading with hurriedly made decisions which will typically end up ruining your trading abilities but if you are relaxed trading you will most definitely trade better.

some people are too fixated on their losses they forget the bigger picture where they could regain their lose in the future there's always opportunity but for some people when they lose they already think themselves being doomed from that trade and get impulsive and make one of the worst decision ever to go all in to their trade to compensate previous loss thinking it'd be a completey table turning moment for them but when reality hits that for example they anticipate the market to pump after steep dump but turns out it just going steeper they they lost all the money that they used for all in.that what i call with bad decision in trading some people are just get too influenced with their emotion not knowing whats best for them for anyone that trades out there if you suffer loses streak, relax, maybe you will get what you want tomorrow, market trend change, you can leverage and take advantage of it.
Regarding the second point regarding leverage, this is a vital thing, the greater the leverage, the greater the risk of loss. Coupled with the use of large margins. This is also very risky. When it comes to futures trading or margin trading, the greater the leverage and margin will increase the risk of loss, but if we talk about profits, the greater the leverage and margin, the greater the profits we will get.
Implementing SL is very helpful in minimizing losses. And the strategy in entering the market is also very influential where we decide to place a position in the price range. If we carry out analysis haphazardly and enter positions haphazardly and blindly to trends, I am sure this can also result in continuous losses.

Feeling mad when we lose it is quite normal but getting our temper too high is not good anymore and it should be managed before it affects our mental health and decision-making. It is a normal experience for us traders but if we want to succeed, we also have to control our emotions to least possible we can do. That is why I encourage traders not to take this seriously, especially beginners because the more we think it always, the more possibility we can't move on. It is very important we know how to deal with our emotions, it can't be instant but at least, we worked on it to make it better and controllable.
