Face your fears and anxieties so they don't become incapacitating. Recognize ways of making a feeling of individual control or authority in your life. Practice pressure decrease procedures, like care reflection or oxygen consuming activity. Shift your concentration to the positive feelings in day to day existence.

The adventure of forex trading is not easy although sometimes it can be rewarding but other times it can also send someone to an early grave or better still to the hospital. There is no trick to trade forex as the market is full of risk and uncertainties. The only way to minimize your fears is only through investing what you know if you end up losing you will not feel bad, that is it is better to use spare money. And it is also very essential to be well informed before venturing into forex trading. That's the best way to overcome one's fear.

To overcome fear in forex you need to trust yourself, trust your analysis and just pull the trigger, if you win, you celebrate and if you lose, you learn your lesson.

Another way to overcome fear in the markets is by treating your demo account like a live account, that way you'll be able to learn risk management and how emotional trading can be.

Don't fear failure, think of the worst thing that could ever happen, it is just losing a trade and as a trader you have to lose something to gain something, the overall goal Is just to make sure your profits outweighs your losses.

Fear is common and can become an obstacle in your trading. It could be psychological or because of a lack of skills. In order to overcome this, you can take small risks and focus just on learning and winning small profits. Do not focus on how much profit you are making, but how much you are learning. This will help you gain confidence and grow as a trader.

"Face your fears" is not as easy as it sounds.
Sometimes it is advisable to Chanel your fears into making extensive preparation that will enable your to succeed.
I clearly could recall those days in the high school that the courses I fear the most are the courses I Excellently pass.

That is because I put in more effort which eventually results into me succeeding
That's the another way to handle fear!

The best way to overcome fear is to deal with it. You won't know if you are able to do it until you try it. There was a time I was so scared in applying for a job, I feared I'd I would be able to cope working under someone, how his character would be like, this stopped form applying for most jobs until I decided to just give it a try. I am currently working now though. It has not been easy but am surviving.

It is very common for a trader to be fearful. The fear can be of missing out, losing, or of being wrong.
Confidence is much needed here but for that a trader should be sure about his trading skills which can only be achieved through practice.

Due to the high volatility of the forex market I understand exactly why a lot of people are afraid of it . Here is a very important part of your journey and something that is always found in people who are just creating the market for the first time but there are some things that you can be able to do to help you navigate this thing faster .

1. Make informed decisions . Going to be on a different level if you are actually making decisions based on what you are seeing in market structure and not just trying to guess . If you can be able to clearly define your own setup then you can be able to predict price movement and in that way you are not going to be afraid of so many losses because you will definitely be getting stopped at whenever your ideal has being invalidated .

2. Another one is that you should put it at the back of your mind that you are not going to be having a 100% win rate in the forex market . This means that you should at least know how to conserve your losses and make good advantage of your winning trades.

For people that are newly engaged in forex there's no how you won't be afraid of losing your money in the market . That is why you just have to dedicate your time and learn everything you need to know about the forex market before you make any attempt to trade it.
If you have the right strategy to trade the market perfectly there will be a time in which the fear of losing your money in the market won't be available anymore because at this time you believe that all the analysis you have taken before you enter the market are ok which is a way of relieving anxiety.
There is absolutely no problem , you just have to try as much as possible to learn and understand everything, with time you will not have any problem trading the market because your understanding of what you are doing gives you the confidence overcome fear.

It's not easy to handle your emotions properly when trading, especially if you were not sure of what you were doing when entering the trade.

To master fear, the best thing to do is to develop confidence, both in yourself and your trading strategies. This will take sometime while you hone your skills and backrest the strategy you choose. There is peace of mind when you know you used a good strategy to get a good entry, exit and take profit points in a trade.

It's also important to accept that you can lose money, and to accept that you can't make all the money available in a trade.
There is the fear of getting out of a trade just to see that it continues going favourably in the direction you chose. Some people will jump back into the trade but get stopped out or liquidated trying to buy the bottom and sell the top.
