It is not really advisable for traders to trade under pressure. This is because the forex is a technical expertise for which the trader needs the best of his calm when drafting his trading strategy- as regards what timeframes or charts to use; what technical instruments to use. It is traders who trade without a strategy that comes under pressure when in an open position; this is because they have not decided when to sell their position when prices go against them.

We aren't machines without emotions, unless you are Iron Giant, pressure is something you will always have to face in the forex market unless of course you have already made it. It's about minimising those emotions I feel, and do what your head tells you is right.
I do not like to trade under pressure , we can not decide well in this mental state. Why should we keep ourself in risk when forex is giving us freedom of trading . We can avail any other time for trading when we had no pressure. Try to remain normal when you are going to trade in forex market.
Trading under pressure would only end you up in losses,Pressure all comes down to emotions which must be controlled as mentioned in most of the threads here.When the urge of pressure turns on,find something relaxing to do instead of putting all the fists and anger and energy into trading.I listen to music when I feel pressured,and believe me it helps 
No, never. When you feel pressure that the time off. all irrational decisions comes from emotions. In Forex it can destroy you.
You are right, why would anyone want to trade under pressure? It will only increase the pressure on your trading and will definitely cause you to make bad decisions.
Pressure is inevitable negative effect from trading we can't eliminate it at all just succeed in coping with it. I think reducing a number of trades can help you to erode pressure as well. As for me I only make 2-3 days daily to avoid overtrading or overtension.
The best and only way to fight emotions in trading is to use a well defined strategy. For entry and exit points, as well as for money management.
If you do it, all you need to do is to follow its rules and never deviate from it. You should never be in a situation when you are not sure what to do, as this is when irrational and emotions take place.

That is very true, but I think that you will always have that pressure. One way that can help you though is the demo accounts that you can make. That way you can brush up on the different ways to trade and see what ones work for you. I know that I did it and it really helped me out in the long run. I think that those are so important because the more that you use them, the more used to the trading that you get. The only problem with them is that some people start to get too used to them and think they will get the same results when they start doing it live again. That is something that you don't want, because it won't be the same when you're doing it live again..
What actually causes pressure in trading is the desire to make more money than you really can because of greed. If you learn to control your emotions well, you'll not be be facing any kind of pressure at all. Trading under pressure is not good for your bank account... you'll only realise when the damage is done
If you are feeling pressured, try to figure out what is the reason for that. It will help you to understand better how pressure is influencing your trading outcome. Try to fix it by making some changes in your either trading strategy either in setting lower targets
Yes, i agree that trading can get stressful at times but despite the fact that trading is one of the most stressful careers in the world,many choose to trade for joy and ecstasy. Trading under pressure is not a good idea at all so it is better to take sound decisions,avoid revenge trading, apply mind instead of logic and be optimistic simply.
