A lot of people who start to trade the currency markets for the first time will soon discover that forex trading can be a very emotional business. You will experience a range of different emotions at different times, and if you're not careful this can start to have a negative impact on your trading.

Let me demonstrate this point by giving you three different scenarios.

First of all there is the amazing feeling you get when you close a really profitable position. This elation is magnified when you have a few winning trades in a row and are really starting to make some decent money.

Now the trouble you have here is that this happiness can lead to overconfidence and a feeling of invincibility, and you can very easily find yourself upping the stakes and trying to make even more money. Sadly this will often end in disaster and you may find yourself back where you started.

Another common feeling you will experience at some point is that losing feeling when you have to take a loss. Again this feeling is magnified when you have a few successive losing trades. This can also have a devastating impact on your trading because this horrible emotion will often lead to you taking greater risks and possibly upping your stakes in order to recoup your losses.

Finally another emotion that you will inevitably experience at some point is boredom. There will always be times when you stare at your price charts for hours on end, but cannot see any decent trading opportunities. In these instances you have to be careful because this feeling of being bored can often lead to you taking silly trades that are based on nothing more than gut instinct. I've been there myself so I know this to be true. The best thing to do is to switch off your computer when this happens.

So the point I want to get across is that you have to be careful not to let your emotions get the better of you. If you are using a proven trading system, then you should stick to this system at all times, and not start upping the stakes if it has a few winning (or losing) trades in a row. You have to remember that the most successful forex traders are also the most disciplined as well. A lack of discipline will nearly always result in losses in the long run, which is why you need to be in control of your emotions.
