Greed is the biggest enemy of a trader and it is very important to control this visceral emotion. Greed often incites a trader to over trade. I believe that the traders who are able to stick to their trading plan are less prone to suffer greediness.

So true. Like so many people have been up 10/20% and they want it all and they want it all yesterday instead of being happy. Thats why a small account is harder to trade because the gains are small like 50/100/200 when the trader wants 1/2/10k profit

You cannot expect to make $1k profit from $50, that is so unrealistic and unimaginable, unless by chance you got very lucky or market become easier to predict. That comes in very rarely.FXOday posted:

Human beings are such kind of creatures, when they achieve a certain good, they automatically want even more. But it should be understood that the combination of trading and traders’ psychological mistakes entails a number of dangers that in one way or another negatively affect traders' trading account.

Greed is very harmful for making decisions and trading. I believe that the only way to eliminate emotional factor is to make trading strategy as objective and accurate as it is possible. Like if you decompose your decision making process into simple and objective steps, you will hardly experience any emotions during trading. It is something like solving equations where you deal with the numbers which can be called facts. Trading strategy should look like solving quadratic equations where you know what to do next in order to come up with the right decision.

Beginners cannot cope with the emotions which they experience during trading. It requires some experience and skills to stay away from psychology and turn to common sense. That is why it is better for the beginners to start trading microlots and avoid risking your whole trading budget.

Actually, as human nature, as greedy not only beginners but experienced traders also possible appear greedy on their minds, especially when they look the confidence analysis, will increase lot size because they sure will obtain profit, but what happen the market is dynamic, one tick changes will make all plan messed up when greedy trading.

It’s not the fault of new traders to feel greedy at the beginning of their career. Most of us get to know about forex trading through a highly unrealistic ad showing the success story of a really profitable trader. While they show all the good things to attract new traders, they hide the hard work, years of failure and unwavering will power that is required to make it to that level. New traders think that if someone else can do this, it must be easy and they can do it too. It’s only the personal experience that uncovers the reality.
