One reason why many traders have failed is because of their greediness. In trading, we also have to know contentment and we have to accept small earnings because we are not controlling the market nor it give a favor to us every day. If ever we get $100 today, we must be happy with that because we never know that by tomorrow we also lose $100. In fact, as a beginner, we can't expect that we are to earn right away but rather be expecting to lose. However, on the other sides, we are also earning from it, and can be useful as we continue our journey.
Greed is indeed the main obstacle for a trader, who is not satisfied with the profits he has achieved, so wanting to pursue even greater profits is even illogical. If it's like that, it means the same as gambling, we will suddenly get rich or fall into poverty, but if we continue, we will lose in the end, because luck will not come continuously. therefore learning to repair and maintain our emotions is very important
The main disease as a beginner trader is mostly due to greed and this greed occurs because there is no proper trading plan. Whether you admit it or not, as a trader, you need to make an appropriate trading plan to optimize the chances of success for beginner traders. Without making a plan, greed will occur because human nature is never satisfied with the profits he achieves, he continues to want to get more.
Basically, by implementing a strategy like this it will help us to avoid making decisions not based solely on emotions, we can set definite rules for when to buy and when to sell. then we can manage risk appropriately, as well as identify opportunities in trading. By setting clear goals, trading will be very effective so that we are able to identify suitable trading strategies and carry out appropriate risk management.
