Simple tips to profit from the FOREX market

Basic yet important things every trader should know.

If you hear from anyone that making money in Forex is easy, do not believe it. It is a myth. The truth is – being profitable in Forex requires a lot of work, dedication, practice, more than a good discipline, sharp knowledge of money management and understanding of the psychology of the currency market. Not so little and therefore not so easy...

Trading Forex was never about gambling

Trading is not a gambling by guessing where the price will move, although there are many traders (mostly beginners) that are exactly  gambling... Trading currencies on the Forex market requires logical and analytical calculations based either on fundamental or technical analysis of price moves.

Making money in Forex requires a set of rules

Making money starts with a plan to make money. Such plan is of enormous importance when it comes to trading foreign currencies. But, besides creating a plan, a trader needs constantly follow it. How often trader brake his rules will affect how much money he will make trading Forex. Sounds simple: create and follow... However, there is a real challenge when trader follows the rules but rules fail to make money... it happens inevitably for every trading system known. If system had proven to be successful, sticking to the trading plan and firmly following the rules even when losing money will eventually yield profitable outcome. Having strong trading discipline and taking losses when necessary is a sign of serious trading approach.

Succeeding in Forex by using money management

To profit in Forex sticking to a set of rules is not enough. Good money management is also needed. Knowledge of how much to trade per each open position and where and when to stop – is what separates successful trader from bankrupt trader. Many beginner traders over-leverage themselves being attracted by big and promising leverages offered by Forex brokers. The truth is that a big leverage is not only about a big
win, but also when it comes to be so – a big loss. Leverage higher than 1:20 will not attract serious investors.

Know your losses, before counting profits

Opening a new trading position must be first of all about how much money may be lost and then what would be the profits. Good money management implies that trader is expecting to win at least twice as much as he could lose on each trade. This way being right only 50% of the time will still make trading profitable.

Using good money management in Forex trading is hundred times more important than having any great trading system itself.

Forex traders' mind

And last but not least is trader’s psychology. Going in profit or losing money always create psychological challenge for trader to act responsively. Not being greedy and also cutting losses short is the key to this game.
Trading Forex you need to accept losses. They are inevitable and occur in any money involving operations. Therefore, instead of battling losses trader needs to accurately analyze unfavorable situations and take
lessons from losing trades.

Every experienced trader would also suggest – there must be no attempts for revenge when losing money. Trying to return your money at any cost will put a trader in deeper troubles. Instead, the trader should return
to trading rules and honestly analyze own mistakes, accept that the market was not in his favor and try to improve the trading plan for future success.

Successful traders are learners, what about you?

And finally, even successful traders are constant learners. Up-to-date knowledge about Forex market opportunities is what also makes them continuously profitable in their trading career.
