We can separate subjectivity and objectivity when trading, trading does not use emotions but is based on valid data as a confirmation reference

to be a successful trader you should have an excellent control over Emotions, Fear & Greed. If you lack in these psychological factors no matter whatever the best strategy you have in your hand ultimately you loose your capital because of this lack in control over E for Emotions, F for Fear & H for Greed.

The first step to being a successful trader is acting like a successful person
A lot of new forex, futures, and stock traders delude themselves to think once they start making money from trading and become successful traders, they’ll suddenly become new people. We are here to inform you that such a mode of reasoning is exceptionally backward and detrimental to your trading.
