There is a big difference between a retail trader and a hedge fund trader. This difference is called market depht. A small retail trader can open a 1 lot trade and ihe will not be noticed by market, because 1 lot is nothing. But a hedge fund can't open 10.000 lots in just one trade. This trade will cause a huge move in market, and his order will be filled in different levels. The other difference is the acceptable volatility. For a retail trader, 25% drawdown is acceptable. For a hedge fund, less than 10%.
Different things... A retail can trade for 10% monthly, an hedge fund for 3%.
That does not happen often

Yes, near 1/2 billion caused a destruction in oil market...
Trade safely... Remember, a high Drawdown means a high risk!

Got your point; but there have so many traders who started their trading career as a retail trader but now they are the institutional payers!

I don't know of ANY retail trader who went into institutional trading. Never heard or seen of anyone do that. Bank traders come straight out of college and then start trading. Retail traders are usually older and already have a day job

Greed and emotions almost same. Generally beginners attacked by this common human nature. We can control this by proper trading practice as well great discipline.

I think that it helps to start with a very small Lot size and then increase the amount very slowly (I am talking about the period of a year at least going from 0.01 to 0.1). I think that this helps control emotions and get used to trading with real money

Emotions makes us humans.
They also make us so bad traders.

True; but we need to make sure enough practice before playing with our own capital; we need to learn the tricks for the live trading.

Right. Not all of us get the successful trading for the first time.

No way; in my demo I faced MC for 4-5 times; although I used then 3-4% risk; basically consistent SL was my main problem.

In coming friday, the 1st of February is the NFP release day. I've decided to stay on sidelines until next week. That is emotionally difficult not to take any action. Almost depressing.
I didn't trade so much on demo. Instead, I tried to limit my losses until I get the grip from trading.

Human without emotion is not necessarily alien :)

Yeah. That is called a high functioning psychopath. I'd rather co-operate with a HFA psycho than a borderline who cannot control oneself ;)

Or simply you convert your trading idea to robot.
Test it with tick data precision over years
Run it on demo
Run it on small account
Run it big
Became independent trader, trading for living.
That is my story in short.

Establish emotional boundaries between you and the trade, accept personal responsibility for your actions and let it go.

Then now you are using micro account; isn’t? besides, if you are not confident enough; better to leave the news session.

Of course not :-)
Human ? (You are in 5%, who have profit) : alien;
But I'm also not sure if aliens have emotions...
