The Wheels Of The Forex Market
You already have some experience of forex when you buy foreign currency for your vacation. To make money out of it, you need to be able to predict if the price is going up or not.
The great thing is that you only need to understand a little to make a lot of money. Thousands of people do this every day.
Predictable Behaviour
The forex market moves in very predictable ways. Within a very short space of time you can easily learn enough about it to be able to predict some major movements, for instance by looking at chart patterns or watching the daily forex news.
Although it helps to learn as much as you can, what really separates a consistent winner from a consistent loser is not knowledge but discipline.
Logic Over Emotion Always
If you want to learn forex trading and win consistently then you must always use your brain and not your heart or your gut.
Always have a reason to place a trade and never trade because you "have a feeling". Intuition is notoriously inaccurate and many traders have clocked up winning streaks only to lose it all on a single bad trade.
So you must always have a logical reason to trade. As you start to learn basic forex concepts you will easily be able to spot a good opportunity, have a good reason and then place a successful, cash generating trade.
Risk Management
A good reason is not enough. You may spot a pattern in a chart and have reason to believe that the price will move in a specific way but you can never be 100% certain. Even if you are 90% certain, you or I can still get it wrong 10% of the time and you need to be prepared for that.
Every good trader uses something called a "stop" for every order that they make. This is a way of telling the broker that if you get it wrong and the price moves against you then they should reverse your order after a specified backtrace e.g. if it moves against you by 15% or some other percentage.
This way, you can limit your losses to only a small amount and you can live to fight another day. Without a stop, you might have potentially lost everything!
