Agree, Its so important to be our own psychologist and coach. We understand ourselves the best and if we are able to relax and evaluate our psychological reactions, we can manage our emotions well. Its all about training your mind.
Hi everyone.
How do you guys manage your multiple take profit setup.
Like in an example where you have a TP1, TP2 and TP3 because they are key levels, do you close the trade when it hits the TP1 and wait for the market to continue to your target then take a new position to hit your TP2.
I set my TPs based on analysis, but then when the TP1 is hit then I start seeing like it is trying to reverse I close the position and take the first profit, because I am always thinking like, what if the TP1 is where it is going to stop and reverse.
That sometimes happens, but most of the time it happens to be a short correction and continue to the direction it was going.
How do you guys really work this out?
I believe the same, trading psychology plays an important role and we should work on rules strictly to keep the emotions out of trading.
Thank you Paulsy for such an informative article. I am new and have learnt a lot. Thanx
It feels to me that many people try to find a solution by themselves when the easiest solution would be asking to a psychologist, in the same way, athletes and managers do, the only company offering a trading mental coach are ftmo (just for his trades) and overviewfx.
Understanding and managing oneās trading psychology is an important aspect of successful trading in forex.
Youāre absolutely correct. Itās crucial to create a positive trading mindset. Implementing strategies like maintaining a trading journal to track thoughts and emotions during trades, practicing mindfulness and meditation to better control emotional responses, and setting realistic goals that align with your risk tolerance can significantly help in managing oneās trading psychology. Remember, successful trading isnāt just about making profits but also about managing losses and emotions effectively.
how would you differ risk management from money/ capital management?
am not controlling my emotion.
Itās great to see that you are acknowledging the importance of seeking help and support when it comes to trade management, money management, and emotional control in trading.
I get anxious when my trades are not doing well. So now, I work on my mental health through mediation and less anticipations.
Thank you for these inspiring words. It keeps me motivated to do more in my learning journey. KUDOS!!!
Trading requires discipline and consistency, good emotional management, capital management, and the right trading mindset.
