Research and Knowledge of the Forex Market

This is just a general estimation, but over half of Forex traders are known to lose their money by going straight into the market not being ready for what is to come. Many first time Forex traders see it to be an easy way to make quick money, some could be gamblers, some betting men/women. The truth of the matter is, the foreign exchange market requires the use of some trading knowledge, some skill, and some luck. Its a bit like betting on a horse! like researching the history of that lucky horse of yours, you need to research which trading techniques actually work and try them out and see if they work for you.

Research the FX Market as much as you can, learn trading techniques, trading plans, trading strategies... Learn how to use indicators, charts, custom indicators. Once you have learnt when and where to place your trades on the Forex Market and very importantly whether the trade should be a Buy or Sell, you will have a much greater chance in succeeding.

Trading Strategies and Plans

Its very often that a trader tends to place a trade in any industry or  even 'buy' something out of pure judgement at that precise moment in time. Being on your PC all it takes is a click of a button or two to place a trade in Foreign Exchange so it can be very tempting and easy to execute that judgement without thinking it through properly. This is where a trading strategy or plan will save you some losses on those trades which you placed through judgement instead of going by what you have learnt works.

Having a trading strategy means to make your trades automated to an extent, you have to research or attempt to create your own strategy which will indicate to you when certain criteria are met so you can place your trade when the market suites you. Elements like 'charting' and 'auto-trades' can be executed so that your trades will be made exactly when and where you want them to. There will be no need for hesitation or trades placed through judgement. Obviously the results will vary according to how well your trading plan works. With your Trading Strategy being automated and trades being opened and closed for you, you will have more times developing your trading plam to work even better!

Stick to your research and trading plan

Once you have found a trading plan that has proven to work, just simply stick to it. Alot of traders in the Forex market float away from their trading strategies and techniques. It is simply all about discipline and following through what you have started. I know you will get very frustrated at times, and you will have many temptations to make many trades against the criteria of your trading system, but having that ability to resist it will go along way in maintaining profitable trades.
