Winning forex traders never trade with money they can’t afford to lose, while losing traders often trade with money that they shouldn’t be risking in the markets, this causes them to worry about their trades and to be in a constant state of overly-emotional trading. Losing traders react to each winning or losing trade they have by trying to control the market through the amount of money they risk or by trading too much; if they win on a trade they will typically risk more on the next trade out of euphoria or they will start over-trading because their confidence is up, when they hit a losing trade they will again jump back in the market and over-leverage or over-trade their accounts in a vain attempt to “make back” the money they just lost.
