Ahahahaha, how do I control??? I don’t care either!
Well, it’s hard to be calm in trading in any situation. The market’s a great test to test yourself. But it’s worth it, I think many would agree with me.
All good things out there are hard to achieve but that makes them all the more worth it. 
Most of us come from a mindset that there is a lack.of money in our lives.
In trading this causes all emotional problems. Having a knowing there is always going to be enough money usually translates into better trading.
Now maybe there isn’t enough money in our life, but if you can trick your believe system, autosuggestion being one way then the trading problems disappear.
This is one of the most important moments for me, because I had to work on it the most. I am too emotional and it prevents me not only in trading but also in everyday life. What should I do?
I have found the only way to keep my emotions in check - develop and automated strategy. It was a long and hard way, but I am currently fully satisfied with my results in Forex, and have 90% less emotions dealing with it.
It’s a bliss.

I always take a break when I make losses to avoid any changes in my emotion.

Step away if you are having a bad day and stick to a plan.
That’s a good technique. I do the same when emotions haunt me a lot.
The best one can do if emotions are overpowering trades. Good advice.
Step back and keep yourself busy with something else before you trade again.

In my opinion, the main thing is that you need to relax on time. Fresh forces will help to be in good shape at the right time.

I agree. It’s better to rest regularly if for a shorter time than to get burned out and to need a long rest.

I have been trading for some time in the forex markets and i know that trading is not easy and we have to decide on which time frames will best suit us so that we can make some profits.

Which time frames do you prefer then?
You need trust in your system which comes through backtesting.
You need a psychological state of positive well being - if the rest of your life is crap so will your trading emotions be
You need to think in probabilities and with a casino edge as suggested by Mark Douglas.
You need to have already gotten used to losses by having been kicked in the teeth multiple times
You need to have diminished the role than money plays in your life so a loss ain’t no big thing
You need to sit up straight at your trading screen and breathe deeply.
You need to focus on perfecting trade execution not on wins or losses

It would be quite something to achieve this state of mind especially considering that the entire exercise of trading is for making money.
