As soon as you allow emotions to control and master you, then your trade will become unprofitable.

I believe emotions to be a poison that will destroy one's trading, it is always beneficial if a trader has a control on emotions and is not letting them to overpower his skills, because this is what makes trading profitable.

It is very important to manage both positive and negative emotions, because both can negatively affect trading.

emotions are such a thing that can turn your work in a good direction, so you don't need to speak so categorically
Emotional trading can turn a profitable trading strategy into a loss trade. Therefore, every trader has to trade by controlling the psychology.

As humans, we can’t control our emotions completely. But when you have seen the market closely and know how calculative you have to be with your trading moves, you get better at managing them. Avoid revenge trading by taking a break after every loss you make.

That's really true. The vast majoity of traders let their emotions to take them over control, while it's prohibited when we speak about trading activity. When I say 'prohibited' it means that traders must be conscious and rely only on their logical conclusions and thoughts. Of course, on the very first stages it's very difficult to turn off the emotions, however nobody restrcits you in expressing your emotions. The task is never let them take you over control, because when you make moves under the influence of your emotions you can easily ruin your deposit and the whole trading activity, because emotions don't appeal to your conscious. So, be ready for suppressing your emotions and find an activity which will let you to express them.

Emotions and trading don’t mix well. To avoid being emotional, one should diversify his/her investments, stop trading after 3 consecutive profits or losses and stop looking at profits or losses while trading. Stay focussed and follow the plan.

That's true actually and unfortunately that is the most spread issues of all traders. They let the emotions to dictate the rules. I know that it's kinda difficult to suppress the emotions especially when we're in a bad mood. However, forex trading doesn't like those ones who can't control their emotions. There are some traders who don't care about emotiosn at all, they just do their best in order to become successful, nevertheless there is a very little amount of such traders and the vast majority of traders got used to operate due to emotions. It's okay because we are human beings, but forex trading doesn't imply any interference of emotions.

I think that emotions are our number one enemy in trading. They can spoil everything. It’s evident even on a demo account. I initially intended to start trading real money but at the last moment something stopped and get back to my demo account. I still trade on a demo account but I try to make as realistic as possible. I set my mindset accordingly, try to buy or sell from certain levels only and never open trades randomly. I also try to adhere to the major principles of money management. I try to pretend that it’s all real and see that everything is based on emotions or to be exact the ability to control them and attention.

Controlling emotions is a crucial thing for forex traders to master. Trading is incredibly difficult to do without letting emotions get in the way. Trading with emotions can lead you to make bad decisions and lose money.

Emotional control is of great importance when you are trading forex. If the market opportunities attract you quite a lot, there are chances that you will become greedy if you don’t learn to control your emotions. And there is nothing worse than making emotional decisions.

Yes, trading decisions in this highly volatile and liquid market should not be driven by emotions like greed or fear, but should rather be made after carefully analysing the dominant price trends in the market.

I believe that emotions in forex trading can always lead to bad results, the one who will overtrade will only get losses.
