Maximum traders in Forex like to trade with high leverage for making profit instantly. But traders who make profit consistency , I don’t think they use high leverage. They way I see it. High leverage gives us the benefits not to worry about margin requirements and one less thing to focus on. Abusing leverage can be costly for traders.
greed is common to all people, you need to learn to disable this feeling in yourself if you want to earn money.
First, analyze your closed deals and your behavior in doing so

Hello! Unfortunately, there is no on/off switch for such a feature like 'greed'. I remember 13 years ago, when I discovered Forex market, greed was living in my heart. And my trades were awufull. What helped me - is to treat Forex not like a money machine, but more like a side-hustle. Also having a full time job helps a lot, so I had money and I was not thinking about getting more. Not full time, not so serious, less worries. Also trading on a Forex looks like having a cat (not my words, but completely agree with them). If you are chasing a cat, that cat will run away, but if you stop chasing and you have what cat loves - cat will run towards you eventually.
Same thing with money. If you are chasing them with all you heart and soul and that's everything you can ever think of - you'll fail.
If you will have what money likes - patience, long term vision and love for what you do - money will come. Trust me.
Have a good one.
Saying that we have to control our greedness is easier than done. Thank you for sharing the story.

Greed is the main enemy of a trader in the Forex market. Many people lose their money because of their greediness.
I think laziness is the main enemy. People do not want to work hard and learn. They think Forex is easy. It is not

You must adhere to the strategy you have developed and learn how to close negative trades
Greed can be dangerous for your trade and you can lose due to greed. Although it is difficult to control greed but you should control it to make profit in Forex. Make a good sterategy and plan and you will be a successful trader.
Yes, there is a lot of money to be made from Forex which has the potential to change your lifestyle. But this is not to say that you will change your lifestyle overnight. If greed destroys people, then if you become more greedy, your destruction is inevitable. If you want to change your lifestyle, you have to give up greed. Remember it is a business, it has to be run as a business. As far as I know, Forex is a very profitable business. If greed can be controlled, our lifestyle will change.
Greed is one of the killers of Traders, overcome it and you will be very succeful. I'm glad to be in the Leagues of trader that don't give eed a room.
NO EMOTION DURING TRADING.

If you want to be a successful trader, greed is probably the biggest obstacle you have to overcome. If you try to get rich in every trade, you are more likely to blow up your account. Self-control and right mindset can help to overcome this negative emotion.

True. In the end it all comes down to self-control which is a very hard thing to find in the human nature. But if we really want to excel in trading we need to know how to keep ourselves calm and stay away from greed.

Yes, greed is one of the bad qualities for trading. We should be realistic about our target. Most people think of unrealistic profit target. Now the question is what's the realistic target? It depends on your skills. Set your targets according to your skills.
I don't have target for each day, I trade to make profits each day and takes home whatever profits I could make each day from the market condition.

Greed is very dangerous for trading. It causes huge loss. People expect to make money over night. That too without enough knowledge and skills. Expectation should be proportionate to the skills. Otherwise it will lead to destruction.
If you want to become a profitable trader, you need to have proper knowledge and education. Besides, you have to control your greed to work according to the plan you made.

Agreed
It's truly a long term gain that requires considerable hindsight and general risk management from both a mathematic and psychological viewpoint
Ensuring that trade plans are stuck to and that irrational behaviours are quickly eradicated is essential
Trading journals which are as qualitative as well as partly quantitative are particularly useful in identifying patterns/results
When you lose, don't lose the Lesson
