trading will always involve emotions, but with enough practise, they may be managed. You may achieve this by having a defined trading strategy because it will train you to be more disciplined over time.
It's crucial to have reasonable expectations for what you can accomplish in this regard.

You may keep your emotions in check by setting more manageable goals, like getting a return of, say, 3% every month.

I don’t extend my trading lot size and besides so I don’t always use stop loss rather I prefer hedging to save trades from losses.
I agree with you pal, stop losses is the greatest way to mange your risk and get over greed or overconfidence.
In forex trading, managing risk is key to staying in the game. For me, setting stop-loss and take-profit orders is non-negotiable. It's like setting boundaries—stop-loss limits potential losses, while take-profit locks in profits before the market can turn. I also never risk more than 1-2% of my account on a single trade. This way, I keep my emotions in check and protect my capital. Remember, consistency and discipline over time are crucial.
The risks in trading are something we already know. So we have to manage risk to be successful in trading. From personal experience, I use the manual take profit and stop loss method in the market. Even though I sometimes set TP in my orders, the stop loss is still manual. I do this by continuously monitoring market conditions. Currently, I use the scalping method, because it is calmer in life. Thank you.
In my experience, managing risk in forex trading involves careful position sizing, setting stop-loss orders, and assessing risk-reward ratios before entering trades. I aim to risk only a small percentage of my trading capital on each trade and prioritize protecting capital over chasing profits. By maintaining discipline and adhering to risk management principles, I mitigate potential losses and increase the likelihood of long-term success in forex trading.
aint it kinda sus that Uve only got 1 thread and 1 message on Ur profile since july when U signed up? and after U dropped the name of a software in the same thread U jus ghosted?
I manage risk by simply placing a stop loss and taking profit with a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:1, sometimes higher depending on the analytical forecast. I have used hedging strategies to manage risk, but I think this method is less profitable because apart from the challenge of when to open the hedging lock, transaction costs are also another consideration.
Sounds very good, but why take a profit with a 1:1 risk/reward ratio, why not 1:2 or 1:3?
Risk management is key in Forex trading. Personally, I never risk more than 1-2% of my account on a single trade. I always use stop-loss orders to protect against major losses, and I make sure to adjust my position sizes based on how volatile the market is. Also, diversifying my trades helps to spread out the risk.
A target that is too wide allows market volatility to bring prices back to the initial track, in my opinion using RR 1:3 is only suitable for strong rally markets, here the analysis bias when a rally will occur is difficult to predict.
