The Best Way to Actually Make Money In Forex

By plrprousers | March 10, 2010

After reading about Forex Torpedo I accepted that any good forex trading tutorial should look beyond technical matters and systems to think about the simple way to truly make cash in forex trading, and the key to this is consistency. The trader who applies his system constantly without mistakes or panic trades is likely to make a lot more money during his currency exchange career than one who acts off center when the pressure is on and deserts any system at the first significant loss.  

This is simple to assert and most traders know how vital it is. Of course, it isn’t so easy to put into application. There are a few things that can help to create a trading environment or perspective where it is less complicated to be consistent. Let us take a look at some of those now.

First, it is vital to have a robust faith in your system and your trading plan before you start. Even before passing time demo trading a system, it should have been thoroughly back tested. And it isn’t enough to accept someone else’s tests. You need to do them yourself, because that’s the only way that you can know the system inside and outside from your own experience. Then it is much easier to keep your confidence strong even when the market is throwing curve balls.

All the guidelines should be clear, put down in writing and preferably kept in front of you on the desk at every point. A mind under strain makes some bizarre calls, usually because the effect of stress is to make us wish to do anything instead of nothing. Having the rules right there in front of our eyes takes away some of that pressure to act right now with no regard for the market.

Naturally, it’s miles better not to drink alcohol while trading. It seems like a neat idea to be able to relax with a lager and there’s no boss to decline, but even one beer can loosen us up. It may feel good but it doesn’t make for tight self discipline and good trading.

For anyone that cannot fight the temptation to make random trades on an impulse, at least constrict this to another account so that your ‘mad’ trades don’t interfere with your real trading. ‘Mad’ trading is nearly certain to lose money so do yourself a favor and make it the smallest possible account that any broker will let you have.

Ultimately, for sure fire consistency you could consider automating your trading. This can mean having software developed from your own profitable system or purchasing one of the many expert counsellors that are on the market. While the purpose of any foreign exchange trading tutorial will be to extend the trader’s manual trading abilities, the forex market is well suited to automation and androids could be a good way to increase your reach.
