for me it is simple, live and look in the present. Everything will fall in place.

clear mind,
emotional stability
and the ability to use the right opportunities.
Over the years of trading, I have learned not to succumb to emotions during a loss or profit. I know how my system works and I know when to stop and when to continue. It will come with experience.

It's written above correctly that the gradual development of trading from a demo to a minimum deposit, and then further it is the way even to the correct trader's psychology.
Thank you. It would be interesting to get some advice from an experienced trader.
Do you analyze your mistakes and how do you deal with it?

I do a full analysis of every trading session, regardless of the results. The more I learn about the market and how my trading system works in different situations, the better I feel the right moments and opportunities.
Analysing your trading history is a must if you want to start building your system and improve your trading. I analyse the risks that were taken during trading, I find possible options for reducing risks. I look for flaws in my work in order to get better, and do not let the market take advantage of these flaws.

Thank you for sharing with us. While I communicate with different traders, I see a completely different approach to work. Your approach seems solid, just as I have met those who manage to trade easily, just luck. How do you feel about luck?

I know that I have to stay calm all the time I trade in order to make the right decisions.

Also, I believe it is very important to have good health in order to withstand stress.

A simple rule for me is 'don't become a gambling Hulk' and stop on time.

Taking losses as part of my job.
Exactly, losses are a part of trading and we have to accept losses in order to become a pro trader although this is very hard to accept but this is an important part of trading.

@Sarjohn Yes your are right. If we can not accept loss, it is possible that we will take revenge trade. And revenge trade is not good at all.

For me trading psychology is a fundamental thing which must be complied by all trader regardless their experience in trading activity. I guess that psychology matters more than trading strategy, market conditions, news and stuff like that. The same happens in real life. When you wake up you should always set up your mood positively in order to spend your day with positive thoughts and good mood. As soon as you sit behind a table and open your laptop you should tell yourself 'everythings is clear, I'll handle any difficulties' or something like that. To my mind, this is trading psychology.

Trading psychology is how you control your emotions, how much logical you can think before opening or closing any trade.

Forex trading is a place where we actually come to make money more but become loser ultimately , because of just emotions.

I think of the ability to manage discipline and plans as positive trading psychology. And this is a very important issue.
Thanks. The same question is for you. Do you consider yourself a disciplined trader? And what are the discipline rules for your trading session?
Yes, I trade by maintaining discipline. I try to trade by following the risk ratio and money management after doing an analysis. And if the profit is 30 pips, I manage the trade.
Thanks for sharing and I wish you get your 30 pips as frequently as possible.

I use a heart monitor. If my heart rate goes over 90 bpm then I exit all positions and reassess what I have done. My aim is to be calm throughout and not get over stressed or over confident. This way I can take better trades
This is a very unusual approach and this is the first time I hear about such a method of control that would be associated with your physical condition. Thanks for sharing your method, it can really be helpful. In any case, what makes you money, that is useful.

Thank you for the comment. Do you have personal observations about how you manage to control your mind?

This attitude may also be correct.
Let me play the words game a little and say that a phrase similar to yours is also accepted in forex:

Everything will fall...
This is it 😉

I agree @UweMoench
You have to design a system that you have at least 75% confidence in
use 100% money management rules and execution
0% personal influence and 'grand' ideas allowed - don't get cocky!
gives you at least 10% gain per week!!

I disagree with you a little.
Trading psychology, like the trading system and money management, must be a mechanism that works together, like an airplane cannot fly without wings or without an engine, even if it is made of the lightest material in the world.

A positive mood is definitely a big advantage during trading.

Can trading results spoil your mood at the end of the day if you are not happy with them?

I like your 'mood' idea, because you must be in a positive mood to take the trade in the first place! I also feel that even with psychology, 85% of your results is in the preparation - do everything exactly like you planned and prepared - there will be some mistakes, but it will not be your mistake, rather that of your system. So your heart rate will stay down!

Psychological stability is vital for consistent trading. It is very important to remain calm and adequate during trading session because it is easy to lose control and lose all the money.

I read that many people write that emotions can become the cause of losses.
But it's not right. The cause of loss is the actions you take under the influence of emotions and also when you suppress them. Emotions should only be controlled, I saw there were different answers with advice on how to take control of yourself in a difficult moment.

For me trading psychology is the most significant thing in trading activity at all, because it affects your trading style and actually the whole trading day or week. In my opinion, it's very difficult for some traders to think about trading psychology and understand that their losses aren't their blame actually. It's just a mechanism of trading, when you lose, you have a great opportunity to find out why did you lose and how to prevent this in future. Also, psychology for me is the most important thing for my mood. I always say myself that if I lost, then trading wanted me to lose because it wanted to teach me something.
