I’m nervous even when I know what I am doing. It’s in my nature, unfortunately, and self-doubt is a powerful emotion.
It is natural when feel nervous. It shows we are concerned about market will remain active what will happen to our trading. I think some nervousness is necessary to avoid over confidence but much tension can effect on your trading badly.

To be nervous not means bad all the time. This emotion can be positive when you deal with it normally. You will be remain in limits while trading it will save from unplanned and high risk trading . Being feared means you are conscious to do trading which will involve management .
To be honest, I’ve never associated nervousness with any positive outcome. It has always clouded my judgement.
I would suggest you to listen to the calm music while trading, it would surely help you to calm down your nerves. I do it everytime and even if I suffer loss, I became calm with the music which I keep on hearing.
May I know your experience on demo?! Maybe you didn’t practice enough in your demo account! Besides, what’s the success ratio of your trading strategy, if it produces you enough success ratio, no need to hesitate before opening a new trade!
I think this is about psychology trading, any trader that still often nervous, usually they will often been panic when the trend opposite with their open order, usually as beginner stilll often facing with these condition, and with experience and built up good mindset about loss, nervous mindset can be minimized.
Its natural and not a sign of worry as every newbies shows nervousness but with the passage of time trader gets the confidence and make the confident decision, you should concentrate on your learning and demo trading in order to avoid the nervous trading.
There is nobody even real professional in Forex who don’t feel nervous when making a trade. I always try to make my trade with great analysis but don’t avoid nervousness. But when I trade with emotions at random and demo account , never feel any nervous at all.
I think all traders are nervous when they are going to trade. Risk is main element that creates fear in you . If you had quality to manage it your nervousness will be controlled . You can get confidence with your experience .
Traders must embrace a road map when trading. Without a clear plan and action steps, traders get lost in the confusion and noise of the market movements and ultimately make emotionally based decisions because of nervousness. Once that occurs, traders often end up in a losing proposition by selling at low points and buying at peaks. A trading plan helps traders avoid these dangers.
We can practice more in demo account if we feel nervous when trading. By using demo trading we can see the performance how our analysis and strategies works. It can congregate more confident which is very supportive to remove nervousness when making a trade.
I am not sure how much demo account trading helps with nerves. Usually the anxiety comes from the knowledge that you’re risking real money, and that doesn’t happen on a demo account.
No way to deny your right point. But we both of have focused one thing “knowledge “. Of course demo account can make sure real trading knowledge but for that you have to concentrate in here greatly , otherwise if you trade in here at random with emotions , then it will not work at all.
That is a very common issue for newbie and many traders when they start to make any trade they became nervous about their work and trading. But as time pass, you will come over with this issue, as you get experienced.

That does apply to most people, fortunately. One either becomes numb to all the stress due to overstimulation or they just calm down as they gain more experience. Some people, however, never seem to go in either direction and remain stressed out.
If nervousness interferes with your decision-making before or during a trade, this can point to insufficient practice. Train more and train harder.
I agree. How does one deal with anxiety, however, after years of practice? That is, after years of practice when the anxiety still hasn’t gone away.
