Diferences between Good and Bad Forex Traders

FOREX trading is a very
complicated business and
beginners must proceed
with caution if they wish
to acquire the confidence
and skills necessary to
first survive and
then profit.

This series of Hubs provides exactly the help needed to do just
that by presenting a methodical and easy-to-follow plan that will
help you, especially if you are a novice, maximize profits and
minimize risk.

Forex experts make significantly higher profits than novices because
of their advanced psychology which is based on a more astute
understanding of the the Forex market’s concepts and features.

These Hubs are designed to bridge this divide by helping newbies
acquire the necessary knowledge to substantially increase their
profits by developing an Forex expert’s mindset.

Let us start by trying to understand a novice’s psychology when
faced initially with the enormous subject of Forex Trading. Many
of them would have been enticed into this market by all the
propaganda and publicity surrounding it.

As a result, they are unrealistic in their objectives believing
that the Forex is a ‘quick rich’ scheme with the potential for large,
easily-acquired profits. Their trading systems are weak and do not
cater for that fact that they are not going to profit from all of
their trades. They have not grasped the important concept that even
the most experienced trader can get it wrong and that the best they
can aim for is to make more profitable trades than losing ones.

In addition, beginners have minimum money management appreciation
and tend to risk far more than they can afford to lose. They do not
understand the significance of trading with less than 10% of their
total margin and as a result lose most, if not all, of their money
very quickly.

The publicity onslaught convinces them that they will quickly become
millionaires by just opening a Forex account today with a few hundred
dollars. Even using powerful Forex tools such as robots, they are
unaware that they will make nowhere near the profits that experts do.


In reality, only a very few Forex traders are successful. The reason
why most novices fail is because of one or more of the following reasons:

1. They do not have the mental awareness to understand the significance
and importance of Forex demo trading.

2. They expect to make profits from every Forex trade and do not know
how to properly develop a Forex trading system with both a positive
win:loss ratio and expectancy value.

3. They have no or little money management discipline and trade
recklessly as a result using money that they can ill-afford to lose.

4. As their psychology is not robust or disciplined to deal properly
with the Forex market, they let their emotions influence their Forex
trading strategies.

5. They do not properly understand the concept of leverage and risk too
much of their account on single trades.

6. They approach the Forex with a gambler’s mindset instead of taking
it very seriously and trade in a business-like fashion.

7. They try to make big profits by taking unsubstantiated risks.

8. They start trading with real money before they have developed a
sound Forex trading system using demo trading.

9. They trade multiple pairs before they are competent in just one pair. 

Good Luck with your Forex Trading.
