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.

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
