I'm going to share with you some tips to help you become one of the top currency traders. This is a great business to get involved in. It's exciting and never before has the little guy been allowed in to compete against the largest banks and firms.
- Avoid Emotions: This is the last place you want your emotions to come out. Emotions are the key to changing this from a businessman to a gambler. You don't want to be a gambler. The most common emotions that come out are gut feelings and a "need" to do something. Gut feelings are obviously the last thing you want to follow. You want to stick with hard facts and numbers. You want to be calculated because that is what information you go on. Gut feelings might work now and than, but you're going to do far better doing a logical analysis than going with your gut. As well, needs come from many different reasons, but if you ever feel a need or obligation to trade, you should probably take a break.
- Cut Your Losses: This is a fine art most people can't do properly. You will have bad trades, just like everyone else. It's just part of this business. It's really not that big of a deal. It becomes a problem when you end up losing too much money when you didn't have too. Cutting your losses can be a difficult task. You always have that thought running around in the back of your head, "it will go back up". The best solution I've found for this problem is to decide a point, before you make the trade, that you will sell if it goes down. This is an objective point. You don't have to worry about emotions. If it hits it, sell, if not, hold onto it.
- Software: Having software like Forex Killer gives you a very profitable asset. Software acts just like an employee. You can set it up to watch trades for or do analysis of currencies to find profitable trends. It's a great tool to have and every trader should have it.
