So, yeah, my name is Alex. And in this video we ain't going to be trading. I know in every freaking video I am trading, I'm making profits, and some of you maybe annoyed. I don't know why, cuz I'm
join and easily get access to all the available information that I'm having right there, but most of you just not taking actions and just watching it and just being jealous of me. And that's totally understandable.
But, I'm here to talk about emotional state and the situation. By the way, I'm sorry, like I'm trying to look at the camera, at the lens, but sometimes I'm just looking at myself and just All
right. Sorry about that. Overall, like I'm here just to give you uh just kill your pains, you know. Uh I do really understand if you are uh
aware what the trading is, if you have ever trade, if you have ever made couple of trades, you you will be understanding me and uh I'm I'm I will be trying to help you
in this case, cuz I remember me uh like in the beginning of my journey like having a lot of stress, anxiety, like uh I don't know. I was unhappy, disappointed.
And every like exhausted. It was kind of hard for me to take control of my emotions, cuz it is very much important. You know You know every trader should know that trading
can be really very much emotional. Uh there are a lot of mood swings and uh this is unfortunately inevitable part of it. I mean, you cannot be doing anything from it. You can you cannot be just
If you are in the beginning of your journey, I in the beginning of your journey, I fully understand it, but uh just there are some key points that you should be sticking to.
if you are able to analyze the market and you are making some
some expectations regarding the market and [snorts] you are making the bet and you are expecting to I don't know, go short or long. You are
market. And when it's not behaving as you you just freaking out, you know, you're just going mad cuz maybe this is the last money that you having, your last hope and you bet in it. And once you see
that you ain't going to be winning this, you're just losing the control. That's bad. You should not be doing that. Never trade with the last money that you having cuz apparently, you're going to be losing
Uh you cannot be controlling the market. It is out of your control. Just get rid of the thoughts that some other traders may be telling you and maybe uh
insisting you to believe, push you to the idea that you are indeed able to the Like honestly, don't believe in it. And once you understand it, you will
And once you understand it, you will avoid all these emotional uh breakdowns and emotional, I don't know, struggles that you may be having. Misunderstanding the market, you should be able to
clearly observe it. and clearly and accurately be fully aware of the indicators they're using of the currency pair they're using
the percentages of the profit that you may be having. Cuz if you're missing these details they might be not that big, but in they might be not that big, but in conclusion they are making the summary
bet. If you noticing them and paying a lot more attention to them I can guarantee that you're going to be having more profits and more wins than losses.
uh that is that that is very much important as well, but another thing you may not be using the last money that you have but
the fear of loss you may be having. You know why? Because you may be betting large amounts of money. You know? Uh once you are if you have not ever
if you have not ever played or just I don't know tried to do played or just I don't know tried to do something or earn some money with large amount of money. It may be 500, it may be 5,000, it may be 15,000. It depends
situation. And just from the beginning if you're And just from the beginning if you're starting uh with large amount of money then of course like obviously you're going to be having the fear of loss cuz
you won't be willing to lose this amount of money. Cuz you understand that that's I mean not a small amount for you, not small money for you and apparently you don't want to lose it. So
So you should be cutting your balance in the parts. In in that case you will be able to control the balance that you have in, as well as you will be able to the
if you're losing, then you're losing only part of your money, and you still have some some funds to regain the money that you lost. So, you're not putting all in. You're not going all in immediately. And
this is the emotional roller coaster that you maybe got into. And Not not just go all in. So, I want to show you a picture right
I know it's in paint and it's in paint and everything. Like, sorry for that, chasing the you know, the quality of the picture or that I'm trying to uh
believe. Cuz making sure that you understand it is making sure that you are making profit. So, here again, I I apologize for the quality of
care about it. So, that that's the trading process, all right? The red candle is when you're losing, so you are sad. The green candle is you're happy when you're winning, so you're having profit. So, it's all in
So, it's kind of, you know, going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, just balancing between the balls. sounded like a rap. So, once you're losing, you're kind of sad,
then everything, you're just kind of not willing to do anything anymore. You made some bet, you won it, you have to profit there, you're happy, you're like, all right, I'm going to be rich soon. I know the market. No. If you're
making, I don't know, one bet from the beginning, and you won that bet, it does not really mean that you know the market that well. And if you're just making a bet and instantly you're losing it,
it does not mean that you're that bad though. Maybe you might be running out of time. You might be wrong in your So, uh
understand that and uh pay attention to these factors and you know, if you're if you're that emotionally
I would not be really recommending you trading. If you are indeed vulnerable in an emotional matter, however, you're finding a way to control your emotions, then you're welcome. And uh I would like
to give you some tips. Uh I got some notes here, so I'm not I'm uh what I wanted to say. So, it is very simple, you know. As I mentioned, once you're losing,
You're making a profit, you're having the euphoria and you're kind of I'm I'm and everything. Uh when your trades are connected to your emotions, it's
more like a gambling, you know. It's not about the trading, it's not about professionalism, it's not about profession itself. Uh it's just a game uh emotional averaging
uh it is very much connected to the picture that I showed you. Uh you should be keeping that in the middle. You just you must be averaging just an example, all right? Imagine that you made a bet
and you won $100. Forget about half of it, all right? Just pretend that you won $50. And you lost half of it. That's it. You won the 100 indeed, but just imagine that you have already lost 50. You have
already lost the half of the 100. If you keeping the tactic that way, it's going to be much more easier for you from in like in the beginning to accept the losses that you're going to be having. That is going to be much more
The same the same thing works with the situation when you're losing it. and pretend and imagine that you have
already won another 50. All right? You lost 100, but in your mind and in your lost 100, but in your mind and in your brain, you regained 50, so half of it. putting some uh some work on your emotions. Talking
to yourself, talking to your mind, not getting Not just letting your emotions to take control of you. goodbye money. I mean, I swear to God. You just won't
be able to uh stay cold-headed and cold-blooded. just stick to your plan if you're not doing it.

If you winning, don't just go like, everything is going to be cool and everything." No. Chill out. All right? Analyzing and again, I'm talking about the market. Analyzing your balance,
the market. Analyzing your balance, splitting your balance into some parts, So, but by doing that, you are getting rid of getting rid of emotional roller coaster. That's
