Psychology Of Forex Trading

Recommended Posts

Guys.. this is something important which i want you guys to think about.

Most of us spend most of our time looking in charts, looking for good entries to

enter. And we spend all our time in that.

But are we doing the right thing all these while?

let us step out of our charts and look at the entire forex picture.

Let us reflect on how we can improve our forex game.

what are the things that we are doing wrong and should remove.

what are the things that we should be doing, but did not do?

what are the things that we are doing correctly and should keep doing

Let us look deeper..

What is our general risk reward ratio, – is it good enough for our account size

to grow and cover our loss we take in the mean while

what is our risk % size – is it too much or too little?

Did you enter the same position size on EVERY trade? are you discipline enough

to do that.

Price Action – Remember this is king in forex, did you enter with price action or

without it?

Emotions – (Entry) do we let emotions affect us as to when we enter the trade

(afraid of missing a trade)

is it because of missing a trade, we fail to enter on the break of the price

action bar + 10 pips. Instead we entered on the close of the bar and made a lot

of losses.

Emotions – (Exits) do we exit our trade base on emotions. How ofter does it

happen. did we stick to our initial plan?

Stop loss – did we shift our stop loss accordingly. Did we ever shift back our

stop loss because we hope it will go back to our direction we wanted?

Picky – are we losing money because we are not picky enough on our trades. Do we

enter base on 3 to 5 reasons or only 1 reason?

Overtrading – do we tend to over trade because we do not want to waste our time

looking at charts but not entering. did we enter more trades to grow our account

but instead make more losses.

Above are some reasons.

i want you guys to step back and think of the reasons that is affecting you. I

want all of us to improve our game further. and not just trade blindly.

Remember – CONFLUENCE is the key. Confluence means many reasons and not only 1

reason to enter.

Confluence makes you picky, confluence removes overtrading.

Postion sizing and money management is VERY IMPORTANT. If you are still not

implementing it. PLEASE CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT. i do not want you to lose any more

money. PERIOD.

Remember to COMPOUND. this is what makes us FULL time forex traders and not

wannabes.

Here are a few essential psychological principles for successful trading.

 

The most significant principle is trading with a regimented plan and system. This plan should include sophisticated research and examination of the currencies as well as stop and limit levels of the trade. This prepared plan should have an analysis of the expected upside along with the downside.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
