Easier said than done. People start Forex because they want profits, money. This is all driven by greed or desperation. Very difficult to control those emotions

Well that’s true, people do run after money. But people should think from the long term perspective as well. Being over greedy can cost us a lot. Timely exits from your positions are a must as sticking on to losing trades in expectation of profits can be dangerous. Trade wisely.

Basically; it takes time to learn! Having an unrealistic target initially is very common; but end of the having a good trading plan is really crucial!

New traders need to focus on learning instead of the earning process! This is why I used my demo more than 1 year before starting my 1st live trading account!

I agree. On has to completely become a disciplined and patient person, if you want to excel in forex trading. Emotions are your greatest enemy, so you have to keep it at bay.

People always talk abouth emotions this and that feelings, i tell you somethink, greed can be manage best with correct money management. For example a correct money management is to use maximal 2.5 lot on a trade with account size like 120k. Or a lotsize like 0.1 lot on a 10K account. That will already help to control greed, without doing yoga or meditation or whatever thinks people always tell, just follow correct money management.

In trading business traders are always trying to get maximum profits its natural even greed is also natural emotion but a trader must be very realistic and this thing you can learn by experience and practice that at what point you have to stay and where you have to move forward to avoid the possible risk as greed sometimes takes towards big loss

Greed is the worst feeling that must be removed. Even the best trader and strategy can be destroyed by greed.

What is greed?. We want return and we want it safe. Is expecting a 10% per month with maximum 25% DD greed? We need to quantify it.

Greed is one of the biggest enemies that have to be eliminated. It is one of the parts of emotion that can cause losses in your trading. A new trader should learn how to tackle that and other negative aspects of emotions before starting with a real account.

Greed is a serious problem for many traders. And not only for those who are just starting their way, but also for experienced professionals, who sometimes believe that they are powerful and make mistakes that cost most of their capital. I don't know how to fight it. Perhaps you should write on a piece of paper above the desktop that your money and income depend only on you. You will be able to earn stably and earn a lot only if you do not hurry, and your capital will gradually grow and provide you with a better life.

Greed, definitely is the most serious problem while trading. Earning consistent profits becomes too difficult for anyone who gets into its trap. I think the best way to trade without being greedy is to follow a trading plan with strict entry-exit points. This will restrict you to a particular level of trading and won’t let you over trade because of greediness.
