Greedy is indeed one of the traits that need to be avoided when doing forex trading because greedy is one form of negative emotion that harms traders.

With the greedy nature, traders tend to be triggered to want big profits in a short time and automatically he will use a large lot and does not match capital and MM.
because greed itself becomes a boomerang of ourselves.

Greedy is the natural habbit of human, its very hard to eliminate them, when we get little money we always want more, in another side we also have fear, when our balance got minus, we fear of that. I think this is the major psycology that we need to learn in forex trading to avoid Margin Call

forex business is indeed we are always brought close to emotion, even though emotion is an enemy in us, most to avoid these emotions we must always be patient in dealing with all problems, because by being patient we can fight emotions, and also if we can fight then we too can get profit according to what we have expected.

Why do many newbie traders or many masters lose in trading, it is due to the fact that they want to get more profit and more than that they are not able to arrange MM so that they use large lots without being aware of the considerable risks awaiting.
because the answers are not disciplined in MM and usually open trades in a hurry without being carefully analyzed until the risks and rewards are proportional to the capital to be traded:o

Actually discipline is very important in trading forex, if we can discipline in trading hence we will able to manage our money according proper money management and also risk management, but if we can't discipline in trading, it's mean we have bad psychology trading and will tend to become reckless trader

that's why many beginner traders often lose even a margin call because they don't think about the risks and resilience of the account for a long period of time

Maintain profit is harder than obtained at first trading, sometimes on first trading, we can easily making a profit and then thinking forex is easy, but we still not realize if these profits only at lucky day, so after balance been narrow and all profit become losing again, we then felt despair and some trader that can't control emotion then trading blindly and expect to get back all profit before

we have to know that the forex business is high risk high reward so when we target to get big profits then the risk also becomes big for that money money is needed especially the ratio risk reward.

It will become a valuable lesson for us on future, there is no any successful trader that never get a margin call, almost trader facing margin call account along their trading career, included me, as professional trader also they ever face with a margin call, but they never give up and eventually able making good earning from this business

All traders have experienced a margin call, and a great trader now also learns from his margin call experience to make him a better trader, evaluates the mistakes why there is a margin call, our trading will get better and we are on the right path to become a great trader .
