Forex Trading is like any specialized profession. You need many years of education and practicing before you can master it. Many do not agree with this statement and have ended up in financial ruin. Ironically, this people have always been successful in their respective profession and life. They see forex trading as a simple financial game and nothing comparable to their current profession. I have seen many doctors, lawyers, accountants and other specialized profession failed in forex trading. They thought that their success in their own fields would help them to achieve the same success in forex trading.   They end up raking losses so fast and furious that they finally give up. It is all because they are lacking the unique characteristics of a successful trader. Let us now look at the 8 common characteristics of a successful trader. 1.        They do not take forex for granted. They see forex trading as the same if not harder than most specialized profession.   They put in a lot of efforts and time to trade well. 2.        They acknowledge the financial risks in forex trading. They know that they can win and as well lose money in forex trading. They practice good money management to protect their capital. 3.        They start with the basics of forex trading education instead of diving straight into the forex market. They take time to learn about the fundamentals and technical of forex trading. They respect and obey all the previous rules set by the previous successful traders. They understand about trend trading and why it is risky to trade against the trend. 4.        They are patient. They understand that it takes time to be a successful trader like any profession. They are willing to start slow and always begin with demo trading. They then advanced to live trading with a small capital initially. 5.        They know the importance of having a mentor like any profession. They understand their deficiencies as a beginner and are always seeking knowledge from the experienced traders. 6.        They stay with one proven trading strategy and trading only one currency. They do not jump from one strategy to another. They do not try trading many currencies at one time. They are devoted to understanding the nature of them and maximizing their profits while minimizing their risks. 7.        They set aside sufficient capital that they can afford to lose. With money they can lose, they do not feel pressure while trading. They simply follow their trading plan on executing their trades. 8.        They keep records of their trades. They review their winning and losing trades to understand their mistakes and how they can improve their trading results. Forex trading appears to be an easy game since you either buy or sell. Then why is that the 95% of the forex traders lose money.   There must be something that the successful traders have. Learn to trade forex like the wealthy traders and soon you will be as successful as them.

Trading Rules that Work: The 28 Lessons Every Trader Must Master

I have often wondered long and hard it was to succeed when I started and only a few hints about how. Then I do not understand what professionals mean when they say that a successful entrepreneur must be some psychology, risk management standards and know how-what-when-why-where the concepts related to entry and exit a trade.
It happened that, after negotiating for about 2 years, I began to understand and learn these concepts on many levels, not just the intellectual. It is my desire to share with these operators, both experienced and new.
In what I call the dealer MR S, we have an in-depth look at the mindset of risk management strategies and also that the operator (in that order too). They are the 3 pillars of business success. (M) indset
Undoubtedly, it is absolutely the most important among the 3 files that will be covered (not to belittle the other 2 in the process). Many processes in life requires us to have our mentality and psychology at the track and trade is no exception.
To begin, we must approach the truth and must ask this question honestly. . . . "Why Trade?"
It's unbelievable, but people really many who are not really trading profit (even if they think they are). Usually there are a myriad of reasons, but one of the most common is that they are trading for the thrill of it.
I remember some time ago I was chatting with a friend and the conversation was as follows:
Me: I'm staying out for now. Do not rush into a trade
Friend: I know
Friend: I prefer to trade when things are rushed, my adrenaline jump
me: not good.
Me: Do you trade for profit or for entertainment?
Me: Casinos offer more entertainment
someone: hehehe. . .
My point is that if you are trading, not essentially for financial reward, then you should not operate at all.
However, it is my view that we humans can be quite irrational (note: the merchants are also human beings) and as such we must be careful to irrational behavior, particularly for the market, because you may get played bad.
At the start of trading, you should not expect to succeed in a short period of time (eg, for example, less than 6 months). This is not only unrealistic but is completely unnecessary pressure and stress on you.
I like to quote what Gary Player (golf legend) once said. He said: "The harder you work, you can."
I interpret this means that the probability of success increases in parallel with the amount of effort you put in. But make no mistake here. . . I do not think that the hard work guarantees success in negotiations, because it is a totally different ball fairly common career.
But we must persevere and keep the faith and commitment to succeed in what he or she selects the field (and in this case, negotiation).
At this stage I would also like to address an issue that relates to new entrants and the idea of negotiating demonstration. Probably many of departure (or not), demo or paper trade using virtual / fake money and that is perfectly fine until you realize that most of us do not fully benefit because real money is involved and as such, no excitement. When this happens, the live training is not real. In my opinion, is simply a waste of time for most.
I feel a lot of people disagree on this point. However, I am compelled to share with you what works and is in my experience I have found what worked for me and what does not.
The question is to answer (if you choose to agree with me) is "How can you learn to trade without compromising good business?" And what follows is simply my suggestion.
I suggest using the XXX amount of dollars that will not cost you to sacrifice what you live (if you lose it all) but large enough that you can actually feel the emotions while trading and take more seriously. What? You might also consider paying online training / classes in the market.
However, once you start negotiating yourself, you should never focus on what you do or what you could buy with the money he earns. Instead, it focuses only on its configuration must be lucrative trade and trade well. The benefits are just an afterthought, a fact. Time to negotiate will end well. (R) RISK MANAGEMENT
Now that we have reached a state of mind of our journey, let's talk about risk management. Some call this the management of money, others call it the management of trade. I choose to call risk management, because I see risk management in the trade as a very, very basic and essential.
First things first, the merchants have to decide what level of risk or the withdrawal as a percentage of total net worth who are willing to take in a given period (whether for a day, week or month). As an indication, the line can vary from 2% to 10% or more. I personally use 5% as my line in the sand.
Decomposes further, you must decide how much risk you are willing to take the trade (which refers to the maximum of one month and the typical number of transactions at this time). Moreover, risk tolerance is influenced by the style of your business. You have to discern whether you are a trader or an intraday position. Positional traders allow greater movement against the entry of negotiating a smaller size. By contrast, day traders can provide a relatively small move against your position if the trade had increased compared with that taken by the operator's position.
Another factor to consider is the typical configuration of the merchant. If the installation requires only a brief stop, you can opt to trade higher compared to other facility that requires twice the stopping of the old installation.
What can make a good and well thought out risk management plan to achieve the trader and your account?
For starters, the trader has a plan knowing that if it breaks, you are much more difficult to raise equity. Who assume a trader loses 50% of their account in a given month. Mathematically, you have to do 100% of its shares in the fair back to where it began this month when it said 50% of your account. Is it reasonable?
With a proper risk management, an account can grow very quickly in case of purchase of profitable operations. Moreover, the account balance will be reduced more slowly if the merchant spells bad experiences or stripes. This is only true if and only carrier on the routes of size proportional to total equity or balance.
As a final point to risk management (and most would be excluded from that I think), you must also consider that your computer may stop at any time during the negotiations. As such, I use 2 measures of precaution.
The first would be to put in my goal of halting the loss of benefits and individual exchanges. And last but not least, write somewhere that the phone next to his operating table, so you can call in your request to change your agent. (S) OF THE STRATEGY
Finally, we reached the last letter from Mr. S, who is also the strategy. The strategy is a collection of edges and its application to markets. It is about finding patterns that create your purchase / Largo / bias and call your sales / short / put bias.
It was senseless, as most beginners to focus too much on strategies rather than having the mentality of commercial law and with proper risk management. No wonder that on a recent trip to a major bookstore (if you need to know … that borders), I could not help noticing that most trade books focus on technical analysis, strategies and guidelines negotiation rather than give a balanced view and written about the 3 components that are essential to successful trading. This is to give these books with titles like "How to become a profitable trader"!
Press forward. . . Discuss trade entries. Amateurs armed, even with a final sophisticated, cost effective, generally negative, because more often than not, tend to be washed with their entry (because of greed and fear).
Other professionals tend to be stricter with their entries. They do not compromise with the price. Essential and are expected to wait until the price level to fall into their trap before entering a trade. They're not afraid of going to a business as such, because they know it is a new opportunity just around the corner. I remind you that patience is key!
As a natural consequence, we now consider setting targets for commercial profit. Mainly, there are 2 methods that I see. You can use a technical objective (derived from indicators, etc.) or use an arbitrary number away from entering the goal destination. Some say it makes no sense to use an arbitrary target, because we would limit our revenue, but good. . . Why do you care if you're constantly hitting their targets arbitrary for two days. In any case, it is horses for courses and as such, choose what works for you.
I remember when my business has improved considerably and is essentially reduced to a routine that I started practicing. And this is but the logging trade.
Logging in trade, to record details of a trade. In my case, I record the price at which I was in and out, the date of the transaction, the size of business, net income, the meeting to enter and leave my job and, most importantly, the logic behind of this trade.
If you like and can afford more time (especially when just starting out), you can copy a screen shot of your work, keep stop loss point, etc. It is essentially the case where recording details of which are important for you when you return to your trades and learn from them
Hey, if not the diary of your profession, I challenge and invite you now to start doing. I promise that will improve your business as a whole. Commercial logging is going to change internally. It will propel you to new heights in its evolution as a trader. If desired, you're welcome to email and let me know how the record has changed the way they negotiate before. Abstract
I want to wear only in the mind that successful trading is like the 3 spoke steering wheel (Mercedes Benz). You simply can not do with the lack of development in any of them.
Put it this way. . . Share the best strategies and settings in the world would have money if your emotions are riot and whether the building housing his office. Prove me wrong, if you can.
As I bring this story to a close, wonder why women traders tend to trade more than their male counterparts. (Think Mr. R. S. ..)
Until we meet again, stay healthy and MIP-rich!
