Struggling With Forex Trading? Here Are Some Awesome Tips

By Danny Younes


If you are completely new to the world of currency trading, then you are probably thinking that some tips on smarter currency trading will help you so that you can begin making better trades and bigger profits. Listed below are some tips to get you started with your currency trading endeavors.

Do not trade the forex market when your emotions are running high, either after a fight with a loved one or anything that will cloud your judgement. These would absolutely influence your trading decisions. Come back to trading when your head is clear and so that you can trade from logic and not from your emotions.

Finding a good broker is important and you should investigate each broker thoroughly. Reviews are posted online on the brokers website but be careful as the broker may post fraudulent reviews and some people just love to complain. Take all negative and positive reviews on board before you make your final decision.

Practicing your skills will prepare you for a successful trading career. By using a demo acocunt to trade with real market activity, you can learn forex trading techniques without losing any money. Online tutorials are a great way to learn the basics. Learn as much as you can about trading before you attempt to do your first real trade.

You should always have a demo account and a live account. You should never risk more than 1% of your overall capital and if you do in any given day, then you should revert to demo trading. The demo trading account is very useful as well to test your trading ideas. You will gain experience doing this and become much more knowledgeable.

Setup an account where the leverage is low when you are first starting off. You can also trade different pip sizes. The pip sizes are $10 a pip, $1.00 a pip or $0.10 a pip. I would recommend beginning with 0.10 a pip to gain experience and increase your pip size as you become more knowledgeable.

Trade within your budget. When trading you want market trends, rather than your financial status, to dictate when you take up positions in the currency market. Also, if you risk more than 1% of your total balance at any one time, you may not be able to hold onto potentially profitable trades if the market temporarily turns against you.

A good way to get educated about the forex market is to seek a mentor, who has done it all before you and knows the ins and outs of the forex market. A mentors will take you under their wings and show you the ropes and should be your first point of call when you need guidance.

By following these tips outline in this article, you will become a competent trader and then you can look at giving your JOB the flick and focus on forex trading full time..
