Should we trade under pressure?

[DT77]

It’s difficult because it’s our money we are putting in the line but I guess the trick is to detach yourself as much as you can from the money and don’t use money you need!

Yes this.....

Easier said than done though.

No, you should never trade under pressure. it can make you take decisions that you would never usually take. You need a clear mind for trading

It is best to trade when you are calm and focussed. Mistakes are made more often when under pressure.

For sure, no we shouldn't. It will not bring anything at all to us anyway. How do you plan to go there totally and completely ? All your actions should be under some thoughts being done not under pressure or something like that anyway.

Trading under pressure is a very bad idea. It can lead you to make a lot mistake and doing things you are not suppose to do under normal circumstances.

I agree , if I'm having a bad day or even an argument with my better half lol I turn off the computer and simply wait it out until my emotions are in check .

Forex trading can be a very stressful activity at times. The main problem is that whether a trade goes for you or against you, it can affect your emotions in a profound way. Trading under any kind of pressure can lead us to making lot of bad decisions and losing our account.

Yes. This has happened with me once but now i trade without any fear and worry.

I get up in morning and set my trades then pretty much don’t touch or look at them until they stop out or take profit. I check if big news scheduled or if see big news coming in but that’s why we move stop losses rather than worry about the trade not making money look at your next entry/opportunity and leave it crash out

How can you alleviate pressure though?

By using proper money management plan; besides I don’t expect any unrealistic profit here; since I know the reality of Forex!

It’s my pleaser! In addition, I always try to learn more (from my own trading mistakes).

No way, you should never trade under pressure. You will most certainly incur a loss when you trade under pressure. So better to avoid trading when you feel pressurized.

Agreed, any business or work you will do under pressure will effect the performance but specially in trading if you will make trading decissions under pressure it will result wrong steps and great loss.
