How to manage fear in trading

Thu Dec 14, 2017 1:11 pm

The trading mindset of a trader should be rooted in trading but most of the traders' mindset is rooted in earning. They only focus on trading the market to earn money which is not the attitude expected from a successful trader. If you want to become as successful as the Singaporean traders you should make sure to filter your attitude i.e. you should think about your success in trading. You should think about the ways to manage the fear when trading. The majority of the traders lose in the market due to not managing the trade. They lose a good trade because of the fear of entering it or they lose a good trade due to the fear of losing. Basically, the major reason why most of the traders lose in trading is due to the fear. So, how to overcome the fear in trading? You should have the trading mindset to overcome the fear. If you know to want to succeed in trading you should make sure to learn the trading psychology. When trading you would face the emotional roller coaster yet you should come out of it and become successful. When you attempt a trade for the first time it is unavoidable to overcome the fear but with experience anything is possible. Let us read the rest.

Always be confident
Confidence is the key to success in any industry. When you start trading the live assets you will be carried away with the first few winners but everything will turn upside down when after you face losing trades. But having the losing trades is very normal in the trading industry. You have can do nothing other than taking the managed loss. In fact, all the professional traders at Saxo are facing losing trades very often. But due to their trade management skills, they are making tons of money at the end of the year. When you place your trade, be confident about your trading strategy. Always remember the high-risk reward factors in trading and everything will work perfectly fine.

Not understanding the fear is fearful
After learning a lot about trading there are traders who still fail to make it but why? They are traders who have been trading for years yet unsuccessful but why? So the major reason is they do not understand that fear is fearful. You should overcome the fear to become a profitable trader. You should not consider the trades if you are uncertain about it. Although trading CFDs is pretty simple there are traders who make it sound as if it is hard because they are afraid. Well, it is reasonable to get afraid if you are trading for the first time other than that you should trade with courage. If you want to overcome the fear you should conquer yourself i.e. you should control your internal emotions. You should have the confidence in trading the market which is really important for a successful trader. If you cannot manage the fear of trading you cannot differentiate the good and bad trades.

Not acting accordingly
Actually, when does fear invades a trader? Well, it is obvious for a trader to feel afraid and what if the trader has a plan? If a trader follows a trading plan he or she will be able to trade successfully but then what if the trader doesn't follow it? Actually, having a plan is not sufficient if you don't follow it so make sure to follow the trade plan. So, another reason why traders fail is due to not acting according to the set plans.

The state of mindset
You should have the mindset to understand the market's probabilities. You should not run away from the fear instead you should face it and fight to overcome the fear. If you are afraid no matter how successful your strategy is you will not succeed in the long-run.
