Forex Trade Main Drawbacks of a Forex Trader

Why is it that very few traders succeed in the Forex trading environment while the grand majority of traders fail to achieve success? Although there is no hard answer to this question, there are a few things that will put you one step ahead and will definitely put the odds in your favor.

The main purpose of this article is to guide you through some important aspects of Forex trading. But in a different way, instead of telling you what to do or the best way to do it, it will tell you what to avoid.

In the FX market, you buy or sell currencies. Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple: the mechanics of a trade are very similar to those found in other markets (like the stock market), so if you have any experience in trading, you should be able to pick it up pretty quickly.

The object of Forex trading is to exchange one currency for another in the expectation that the price will change, so that the currency you bought will increase in value compared to the one you sold.

Forex - You Need A Real System!

Forex - You Need A Real System!

Although it has been some years since I was actively involved in trading, I have just returned to the markets and have begun to trade a small account on my own behalf. This has perhaps given me a slightly skewed perspective of the markets, almost like a new entrant, but one with a lot of experience.There have been some big changes whilst I have been inactive, not least in the number of online brokerages fighting for every dollar.But many things stay the same, at the heart of which is one, I guess, unbreakable truth. Trading is basically a very simple business, with any trading stocks, options, FOREX, whatever only really involving three steps:1. Find several possible trades evaluate them and decide which to go for,2. Calculate how much to trade, and decide at what points to enter and exit the market3. Keeping an eye on, or monitoring, open market positionsNow, these three steps were basically all there was to it a few years ago, and they still And, guess what, people are still getting totally bogged down right here, at this early stage of the trading process, generally, for one of two reasons.The first possible reason is that they simply are not aware that these are the steps involved in the trading process, or (the second reason) they have no clearly defined rules for actioning these steps. Thus, less experienced, more nervous, traders can often take hours to evaluate a small number of potential trades.Experienced day traders, on the other hand, are fully aware that, with little time available to execute their trading, they must have a process plan and they must stick to it.

A day trader will set out his (or her) plan of action something like this:1. Recognize the opportunity, enter the market2. Stay in the trade for as long as possible if it is going for him or3. Get the heck out of there with minimum losses, as soon as it is clear it is going to go the wrong wayThat s it! That s essentially what a day trader in any market was doing years ago, and that is what a day trader is still doing today, with little or no change to their working practices brought about by the vastly more advanced technology of today.Savvy day traders learn very quickly that they must plan ahead of time, so that they are in prime position to take full advantages of the opportunities that occur in real time.Thus, day trading, which on paper at least is a pretty dangerous and risky manner of working markets is, in fact, one of the most disciplined trading schools! By the nature of market movements and the way they operate, day traders simply cannot afford to run their trading business on a wing and a prayer!

The search for the Holy Grail

Many traders spend years and years trying to find the Holy Grail of trading. That magic indicator or set of indicators, only known by a few traders, that will make them rich in a short period of time.
Fact: Well, there is no magic indicator, nor a set of indicators that will make anyone rich in a short period of time. The main reason of this is because market changes, every single moment is unique. Every Forex trading system will fail from time to time. Our work here is to find a Forex trading system that fits our personality as traders, otherwise the trader will find it hard to follow it.

Online FOREX Trading - Become a Successful Forex Trader in Two Weeks! by sacha tarkovsky

Online FOREX Trading - Become a Successful Forex Trader in Two Weeks! by sacha tarkovsky

One of the most inspiring stories I ever read, was how legendary trader Richard Dennis taught 14 people who had never traded before, to trade successfully in just two weeks.

The result?

They traded and went on to make millions and become some of the most famous traders of all time.

So how was it done and can you do the same? Let\'s find out.

Richard Dennis taught them three major points:

1. A simple method they could have confidence in.

2. Money management. 3. Applying the method with discipline.

His advice was very specific with no filler.

So, let\'s look at what you need to learn.

1. Method

You need a method you have confidence in and it needs to be simple.

There is no correlation between how complicated a method is and how much money it makes.

In fact, the reverse is true.

A complicated method has more components to break and is less robust in the face of brutal market conditions.

Look up "technical analysis" on the net and learn specifically how and why it works and also the theory of "trading breakouts"

You should be using a long term trend following methodology looking for the big trends that produce the big profits and breakout trading is ideal for this.

If you want to win at online forex trading, you need to know about breakouts.

Base your methodology on it - It\'s simple and it works.

Now you need to time entries.

Look at some indicators that are based on momentum and look up "stochastics" this is simply the best momentum indicator you can use.

2. Money Management

If you start with a "breakout method" and base your trading method on it, then stop placement is obvious.

If you only trade significant breaks your odds of success will be high.

3. Discipline

Is perhaps the hardest part of trading online forex.

You need to apply your method with rigid discipline otherwise you have no method at all.

Discipline is all about experience and even seasoned traders find it hard to keep executing a method when a string of losses occur.

However, you are part of the way there to having discipline, if you have devised your own method.

You know its logic and should be able to stay with it as you will have confidence in it to work.

All the material you need to get up and running is free and on the internet, but it\'s worth reading a few books.

These are my favorites and will they inspire you.

1. Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards ( edit )

By Jack Shwager.

These are interviews with some of the top traders of all time including:

Richard Dennis and the turtles and many more - Packed with insight and very inspiring.

2. Trader Vic

By Victor Sperandeo.

A true trading legend, who shares with us his thoughts on trading, money management and trading psychology, a fantastic all round book.

By all means read a few more, but these three are my favorites from over 500 I have read.

Trading is Simple, yet people try and complicate it.

They think the more effort they put in the more they will get out - This is totally false.

Work smart not hard!

If you want to make money you need to work smart not hard and if you want a perfect example of this look at the turtles!

In just two weeks they all became great traders.

Maybe, you wont make as much money as them, but if you learn and do the above, you will have the basic platform to make big profits in online forex trading.

Finally, you will have done it all on your own and will have given yourself success, how satisfying is that?
