Become a Better Trader

Recommended Posts

Becoming a good Forex trader isn't an easy task. I too am still trying. After many struggles I am becoming a good trader. My struggles and fails actually helped a lot. Only thing I did correct was not giving up no matter what.

The best trader is the one who selects best broker according to me. I have invested much in various account and trusted many brokers but I never earned much as I do with my present broker.

Keep learning, must know that forex trading is one long term business, temporary lost is the foundation of future success. So survival and learning are top important things for new ones.

In my opinion, successful trade need rich experience and learn lessons from past failure, it's impossible for new ones to understand market trend and predict movement correctly.

This is really meant to be a "Mindset" or in the Psychology Thread, but I was not sure if any beginners would see it there.

 

I am hoping other experienced traders will weigh in with a tip or two.

 

Never trade when you are sick, tired, or in an emotional funk.

Always, always, always use a stop.

Don't stress about trades you missed. You can't lose what you never had.

This is simply one part you have defined here. lack of knowledge and awareness is also another part than needs to be consider before starting trading.

Develop a plan.

As one goes on their trading development journey and they are exploring a variety of markets, timeframes, and methodolgies - you'll need to develop a plan. The plan doesn't have to be some objective extremely specific set of rules. It can be a loose set of guidelines that makes sense to you that gets refined over time with your experience. The goal is to start acting consistently so you can get consistent results.

There will probably be times that you violate the plan for whatever reason and I think that is normal, especially for more discretionary plans. But the key is to consciously violate it rather than getting lost in the throws of the market or in ones emotions. If you are consciously violating the plan you will note it in your daily review and over time you will collect enough data that may or may not indicate that the violation improves your plan.

Develop a plan today.

This is the key component. If you have a good trading plan, while working when sick isn't advisable, you should still be make the same trades as you would if you weren't sick. Your mental judgement shouldn't be impaired to a degree that you won't follow your plan, if so then yeah, don't work.

How to develop correct and risk conservative trading plan? What are the main pillars that any trading plan should rest upon? I just don't know where to start, just scalping with Hotforex making 30-40 dollars daily. But frankly I want more.

Asia & European Sessions:   Equities and Treasuries rise, as markets view Donald Trump’s choice of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary as a stabilizing decision for the US economy and markets. Bessent: Head of macro hedge fund Key Square Group, supports Trump’s tax and tariff policies but gradually. He is expected to focus on economic and market stability rather than political gains. His nomination alleviates concerns over protectionist policies that could escalate inflation, trade tensions, and market volatility. Asian stocks rose, driven by gains in Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Chinese equities fail to follow regional trends, presenting investors’ continued disappointment by the lack of strong fiscal measures to boost the economy. The PBOC keeps policy loan rates unchanged after the September cut.

Oil prices drop after the largest weekly increase in nearly two months, with ongoing geopolitical risks in Ukraine and the Middle East. UKOIL fell below $75 a barrel, while USOILis at $70.35. Iran announced plans to boost its nuclear fuel-making capacity after being censured by the UN, increasing the potential for sanctions under Trump’s administration. Israel’s ambassador to the US indicated a potential cease-fire deal with Hezbollah, which could ease concerns about Middle Eastern oil production, a region supplying about a third of the world’s oil. Russia’s war in Ukraine escalated with longer-range missile use, raising concerns about potential disruptions to crude flows.
