Enter the market with a fixed budget so you don’t overspend and risk only with what you are comfortable losing. With experience, you will gain confidence, just don’t stop trying.
We get nervous when we are not well prepared. If we are prepared to face any situation ahead, we automatically feel more relaxed. So, focus on education, things will start falling in line for you.
Even experienced traders tend to get nervous when they are trading on a live account so getting anxious as a beginner is quite normal. You will be able to get a grip of your emotions once you become skilled and confident as a trader. Try to listen to some relaxing music while trading. This is something that helps me to stay calm when I am trading.
Practice new strategies on a demo account before moving on to live to trade. Analyze the market thoroughly, employ risk management strategies to avoid risks, and build self-confidence.
Try meditating. Deep relaxation and mental calmness are two effects of meditation. You concentrate during meditation and get rid of the constant stream of disorganised ideas that could be stressing you out. The approach may lead to improved mental and emotional health. Also try reading books on trading psychology.
The only way to stop being nervous is by reading and learning quality trading books and videos. This would not only make you more confident but also help you learn new skills which will help you overall.
Trading is uncertain and that’s the primary reason for being anxious or nervous while trading.
On a demo account, you know that the worst that could happen is losing the virtual funds but when you trade on a live account then you know that you will have to go through the financial crisis in real life.
So the ways to avoid being nervous is:
Not putting your life savings at risk and only investing as much as you can comfortably lose without having much of an impact on your life.
Reducing your position size.
Avoiding highly volatile currencies.
Not trading the news.
You must focus on your skills and your mindset before you start to trade forex. You cannot trade without understanding your situation first. Ask yourself where you stand and then move accordingly.
To stop being nervous in trading, one can try developing a solid trading plan, setting clear goals, and focusing on long-term success rather than short-term wins or losses. It can also be helpful to take breaks and practice stress management techniques, such as meditation or exercise.
Train your brain. Learn and develop trading psychology. Moreover, bigger lot sizes can actually increase your fear and lead to nervousness. That is why you should begin with smaller lot sizes. When you are confident with your strategy, you can gradually increase your lot sizes.
With time, you will gradually stop being nervous. Learn to better equip yourself with challenging emotions. Trade with only that amount of money that you can afford to lose.
When you are confident, have a good understanding of the market and have a good strategy, you will eventually stop being nervous and trade confidently.

Look up Joe Dispenza on you tube. Breathing technique expert.
I also follow him on youtube. He’s pretty good.
Old question I know, but now that I’ve been trading live a bit more, it’s all about fear or removing fear from your trading.
Where’s the fear come from? Losing your money of course. So you need to save up, and once you have a decent amount for a trading account, get comfortable with losing some or all of it. Really, it shouldn’t get that far if you have a plan and you’ve actually thought about risk management. Stops if you need them, don’t over leverage, don’t over trade, take a step back if you get on a losing streak. There’s lots of things you can do to stop the bleeding.
When it comes to dealing with nervousness, I find solace in my favorite activities like cooking and singing. It’s not always about trading; engaging in what you love can genuinely lift your spirits.
Getting jittery in trading is totally normal, happens to the best of us! One trick is to stick to your plan and strategy. Having a solid game plan helps ease those nerves 'cause you know what you’re doing. Also, start small, build up your confidence gradually.
Remember, it’s all about the long game, so taking breaks to chill out and not obsess over every little move can work wonders too.
