Overtrade? Have we all done it? I think ... yes. Excessive opening a position has the potential to destroy our account. In a conscious state we will really like the activity of "opening a position", especially those that continue to generate profits. Imperceptibly, the preoccupation of falling into a conscious state is turning into an unconscious .. the next thing that we manage is bleeding. What we realize is only the fact that we have gone too far in opening positions. Furthermore, how should a trader behave? How can this "ghostly ghost" disturbance overtrade, get driven out of your mind? Is there a way that can be used to avoid overtrade traps?
If you are still wondering, below I present the concept of a trading plan that will prevent you from falling into an overtrade hole.

1. Set the number of transactions (in a period)
Many traders have the habit of making as many open positions as possible, assuming that the habit will make more profit. Know that it's just a myth. Just imagine you only open a position for a trade 2 times a day and each trade with 50 lots + standard account + only 5 pips? Calculate the total in a year ... is that still unsatisfactory? Or instead you think it's too big for your level? Please just reduce the lot. So how many times do you have to open a position in a day? Most traders use habits 2-4 times as a reasonable and reasonable amount to open a position. Just think of the quality of the signal that you will use to open positions and not utilize as many signals that appear in a day.

2. Always in a positive ending (profit)
If in one period (say a day) you have planned to open a position 3 times. You have run 2 positions open and got a profit of $ 10 for each position. So you get a total of $ 20. Because your trading plan has described for 3 open positions, you immediately look for another opportunity in another signal, but apparently this time you experienced a loss of $ 30. You get 1 chance to open a position and you get a profit of $ 20. Then the total profit that you have gotten from the 4 open positions is "only" $ 10. Maybe you just think it's a joke, cook anyway with open 4 position only get so much. Try to return to your logic in no 1. You just add the lot value per position, then you immediately see the results that you desire, right?

3. Prepare a plan out of a bad state
Market movement is impossible to ascertain direction. There are times when your day is really far from the expectations you have planned. Almost all of your positions are in a loss condition. Here I am trying to give tips to keep your account in a positive condition. One way is to use% of the value of your account. Either 2% or 5%. Keep the account positive. Or you can also use the accumulation of the most valid signals from your system that is "broken" by market movements. For example you get a maximum of 3 times the most valid signal from a failed system then you will stop opening that day. The key word to be achieved here is consistent profits. It is not as difficult as most traders imagine. You just need to set a strong discipline in following the trading plan so that the overtrade conditions that will lead you to the inconsistency of profit can be avoided.

one way to overcome over-trade is to set and forget. If you have opened a position you should close the laptop and do other activities.

if you have a trading plan, I don't think we will be stuck with over-trade, therefore I think the trading plan is very important

I think the best way to be free from the trap of over trade is to set and forget. When you have opened a position you should not see it too often.

Actually, it's simple, if a trader has a trading plan and a good trading journal and discipline is applied, then overtrade and the like can be avoided, the key is in the discipline and psychological aspect of each trader.

Yes agree, everything goes back to ourselves how we control overtrade.
Traders who have the concept of discipline, patience, full of mature calculation, always looking for opportunities are clever traders who can avoid overtrade.

Indeed the trading plan tends to make us free from the trap of Over trade, but often we violate the trading plan that we have made so that we are again trapped in Over trade

Overtrade is very dangerous if the psychologist is not good, always maintain the condition of the psychologist so that trading is right and good.

If the condition of psychology is good, it is clear that it will not over-trade because over-trade is only done when psychology is poorly trained or is just a beginner and doing psychology training or it can also be traders who ignore psychology.

Means that some of the main factors behind an overtrader are bad psychologists.

Mindset to get rich quick surely exists in all novice traders, our psychological factors overtrade, then you should eliminate the mindset of getting rich quick, because the forex business is a very risky business, if the loss may lose most of the capital even all capital (MC)

In my opinion, it is better for traders to use lots that have to be adjusted because there is a considerable risk to the trader.
The need to improve psychological conditions in order to support good emotional mentality because it will affect profitability consistently.

Over trade can actually be avoided by giving ourselves a sense of sincerity when we lose and appreciate what we get. 
When we profit and most importantly burden our accounts with the right capital targets
