The thing that beginners always miss before starting trading is thinking about the risks they face. Sometimes they focus too much on the good side. They are too focused on making big, fast profits. But they slightly ignore the big risks they face. Usually they will come to their senses after they have had a few unprofitable trades. And you are right that risk management must be studied and mastered before we enter into trading. Because without risk management, a person is prone to experiencing much higher losses. And yeah like you said. They will not easily recover the losses they face. In contrast to a reliable trader who trades with a mature strategy and management. which allows them to maintain stability of trading capital such as limiting losses with stop losses and such.
Well, and almost all the beginners who came, mostly the goal is just to make a profit, I will say something that is true to the facts and includes myself, at first I was also tempted to start because I saw the big profits that other people got. However, in my opinion, this is only natural and may have become commonplace in the eyes of other traders. And they will realize it when they experience a loss, but that's good because it will be a reference for them so that something like that doesn't happen again. That's right, basically there are a lot of things that we have to prepare to be able to trade here, as you said in the form of risk management. But in self-control I will emphasize more on them, that they have to train their minds more. As we know trading activity is closely related to psychology and also calm, so you must be able to train yourself to get used to making peace with yourself or existing conditions. Because there are so many cases of losses that occur because they cannot maintain their mental and psychological health, those who have experienced a number of losses in the past then make it difficult for someone to think so it is also difficult to make the right decision. Many then experience MC because of problems like this.
You are right that indeed more traders lose because they cannot control themselves. Well I mean they can't control their emotions in trading. The emotions that must be controlled in trading are the emotions of greed and the emotions of fear. These two things, namely Fear and Greed, must be controlled by traders who want to avoid losses in trading. Ah right, talking about emotions in trading, I think I just remembered that there is indeed a special analysis for this, namely sentimental analysis. I studied it a few months ago and it was quite helpful. But I have not mastered this one analysis. And how to get to know emotions and control emotions in trading can actually be learned through lessons on trading psychology. And there are books on this subject.
But after I also learned about it. Then I realized that the fact is that emotional control will still be more and more mastered when we have more and more experience in trading. The point is that experience can hone the mental resilience of a trader.
