Greed is certainly a tough emotion to conquer. In my experience beginner's greed diminishes as one acquires more knowledge and learns more about what profits are realistic and unrealistic.

Greed is the most dangerous enemy for a trader. He should avoid greediness while he is trading if he wants to become a good and profitable trader.

The moment greed enters your trading cycle, risk increases manifold. Keeping such emotions away while trading is must.

Greed makes us feel emotions that negatively affect trading, so this fact must be taken into account.

I always recommend to new trader first trade in major pair. Don’t try other minor pair.

It makes no sense to take a pair that is less popular, because you need to be able to work with it.

Traders prefer to trade with major pairs due to volatility issues. Also, there is a lot of information available regarding those pairs.

The issue is focussing on how much profit they can make rather than how much risk they are taking. One you can control and the other not so much.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

Even people trading for years didn't able to overcome the greediness. To overcome it one needs skills and proper trading psychology. It's not easy.

Having a trading plan is absolutely essential, I think this is something most traders miss.
They just keep trading different strategy to different strategy getting more and more confused.
