Hope/Fear/Greed - Managing Emotions in Trading

Hope/Fear/Greed - Managing Emotions in Trading David Paul, Financial Trader and Managing Director of Vector Vest UK comments. If you found value in watching this video, PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE so we can do more! We've touched about controlling your emotions in trading - I do a workout everyday and it really helps. Give demo accounts a month or two but then switch to a real money account - virtual accounts lack the emotions - so use a real money account but start very small.

My biggest downfalls in trading are my emotions and greed. Those two combinations cause me to trade when I shouldn't and stay in a trade when I should get out. which is weird cause I'm usually not a greedy person

This guy is incredibly underselling himself. After watching these interviews i have a lot of respect for him.

[TheNotoriousFonzy]

How this channel doesn't have 100k + subs is beyond me.
Some of the best trading interviews I've ever seen on YT

[SaeleeSaan]

This David Paul guy is amazing. Wonderful person with vast knowledge of the markets. This interview should be referenced time and time again, for new and veteran traders.

When you have a big position on a winning trade, it often ends up as a losing trade. Because you will end up exiting on a loss when you get hit by volatility. Something a learned in the past.

I agree, I made 20k on a real good trade, I managed to then loose over 9k over 4 weeks. I took a step back, I have been persistent and despite a loosing streak I am now becoming profitable and have learnt huge amounts from the loss and gain. If you let losses make you quit then you do not deserve gains. Education costs money and I can assure you, I have paid for mine emotionally and financially, however technically I only lost 9k out of 20 so the education was free in it's own way. Remember to take profits, soon as the trend bends make sure you END it, do not hope it will bounce back, its game over.

I believe demo trading is very important in the beginning. I see it as a boxer training for a fight, sure training and sparring are not the same, but you can't go into a real fight without training.

[mcbenckosfx]

I lost my trading psychology. 😕. Came back to watch him again to remember what I've learnt from him

[ahmedgpi]

I came here always when fear possessed me fear of open a trade fear of losing my profits to get some energy... emotions are really hard to train it and it won't be trained only if ya trade with a real account. Best of luck to all of ya dear colleagues

[SuddenStorm]

This guy has a lot of knowledge, and seems to be a very pleasant guy with a nice sense of humour 👍

[GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Top man, insightful. The interviewer is really lovely :)

3 people aren't in touch with their emotions. Another great talk from Mr Paul, he may be my favourite guest for overall knowledge on this channel, followed closely by Steve Ruffley for philosophy, Mark Sturdy for technical advice, and Francis Hunt for practical application.

I just lost 1500+$ because of holding long losses and holding long profits they turn into loss. I learned to not hold anything for too long

[iTradeAIMS]

5:05 there is a little secret here. Listen to this bit. It took me nearly 12 years to find this out. He just spelt it out so easily.

[NUShortFilms]

This guy is really awesome. Thanks a lot for sharing your wisdom with us.

[Chris-eyzy]

That’s what I do. Put 10% in then build my position depending on where the stock goes

[SuccessMindset]

Learning trading is worth the risk for ordinary people making 10k a month or more

[mrmatias]

[MOUNTYize]
