However, a trader is still an imperfect human. That is why there is no perfection in forex trading. Even so, trading does not require perfection. What is needed is to control risk and optimize the opportunities that exist by running a trading plan properly. For this reason, emotional control is absolutely necessary. how important is the emotional factor for you?

Of course emotional factors are very important.
Because the main factors that influence the success of trading are trading psychology. Therefore, it is recommended not to do trading activities. Too happy or too sad greatly adversely affects our trading results

In my opinion, emotional control has to do with internal and external factors. In practice, emotions are related to trading activities, when floating minus happens someone who does not have the right mindset will experience mental and emotional disorders. Using inappropriate lots will result in unhealthy margins. This often happens when the order experiences minus 100 pips the effect will impact on a very fatal loss and even occur mc.
But it will be different from those who have studied forex in detail. Internal factors in themselves can be overcome by continuing to explore mistakes and learn from experiences that have happened before. The key is in time and financial management. By setting the trading time it will create a comfortable trading atmosphere because of the regularity of the time it has. And with good financial management will also create a mood that is psychologically calm even though floting minus occurs but the risk has been measured and has no impact on fatal losses even far from mc. Usually the use of lots with a resistance margin above 1000 pips is a recommendation for traders to start this business with minimal risk.

External factors from outside the self usually include a situation that is not good outside of yourself. Usually this situation is a problem in life such as family and the surrounding environment. Or it could be a condition that is sick. In situations like this traders should not carry out analysis and trading activities until all conditions return to normal and restart so that analysis and planning are optimal.
Hopefully, please

emotional factors for me play an important role
if our psychological condition is good when trading, I'm sure whatever we do is either sell or buy
we will be sure of that
because good psychological conditions make us think well

I also have difficulty managing emotions, especially in a minus floating state, it feels like adding an order position to quickly return to profit but in fact it increases minus

Yes, exactly. Our main enemy in forex trading is Emotion. If we can control our emotions, we will be able to profit consistently in forex.

The key to gaining profit in the forex market is avoiding emotional trading decisions, and only trading follows a strategy that has been made based on price movements in the market. Following your emotions and will is not a profitable way, it can even drain your trading account. The forex market moves with high volatility which causes high emotional effects. Emotions will influence your decision unless you are trading based on a strategy that was planned beforehand. The key to success in forex trading is to follow a planned trading system and do it diligently.

Overcoming emotional feelings in trading is a must-do thing, because when feelings of emotion dominate us, the transaction feels more heated and we want to get bigger results immediately without thinking about risk. Understanding of emotions can occur when we lose, profit, or when we use a particular system

in controlling emotions requires a long time and depends on each individual. until now I still can't control my emotions so often I trade with greed. indeed my nature is still impatient and has an impact on my trading to date.

I have not been able to control emotions especially when I see the price is too far away and it seems like I want to trade without thinking about whether the price will continue the trend or even return. often I choose the price back and the results still continue the trend. if you can control your emotions it will have a good effect on your daily life.

True, indeed in the forex trading strategy nothing is perfect and produces 100 percent profit but consistent profit can be obtained by combining strategy and psychology and risk management.

yes friend, so don't chase targets beyond ability by using large lots. we must be wise in taking risks and profit.

control emotions with strategies and must be disciplined in trading.

very often I trade with high emotions, hoping that with a large open lot the loss will return, but all the different results of the trading account are SO, the funds run out and can no longer make transactions.
