Forex Scalping Success

Forex Scalping Success

I am not bragging or boasting when I claim that I am one of the few successful Forex scalpers. It's a fat that most people never earn any money trading Forex, they can spend thousands of dollars on trading courses, they can ready every book on the subject but they will always fail.

These people fail because they don't understand the pure basics that you have to discover on your own. They come to Forex lacking discipline and their lack of discipline is often the source of their failure.

Successful Forex scalpers have self-discipline a lot of other qualities that Forex losers do not possess.

How did I come to possess these qualities. Let me tell you something, I was an undisciplined person my entire life. I always made average grades, I was fat and I never finished what I started. All of that had to go out the window for me to succeed in Forex or anything else in life.

Why is discipline so important when you scalp Forex? It's important because you can blow your entire account on one trade. It takes discipline to stick to your trading plan.

One of the most discipline related strategies in trading is money management. There are traders who always try to trade too big or who try to make up loses on one trade, they aren't following a money management strategy and they will soon go broke.

No matter what happens during a trade, you should stick it out and go with your plan. Your plan should consist of an entry and exit strategy. You should know why you are in a trade, you show know when to exit it. These aren't the decisions you want to be making while a trade is going on. This is when those two devils peer in to destroy you, fear and greed.

I promise that 100% of the bad trades you make are because of fear and greed. Fear that a trade is going to turn around on you, fear that you made the wrong trade, and your greed kills you when you try to trade too often, too much, and when you try to force more money from a trade.

Stick to your pre-trade game plan.

You do have a pre-trade game plan, right? Wrong! Most of you are just playing it by ear. Forex is your adult arcade game, it's only entertainment.

All I have to say is, thank you for playing! Your deposit will soon sit in my bank account where I will use it to earn more money. Never forget that trading is a zero-sum game, someone has to lose for someone to win.

As you can see, most traders have no idea what they are doing, yet they still call themselves traders. They treat Forex like a video game and everything they learn is just entertainment. Most will continue to fail because they do not take themselves are the business of trading seriously.

They are fish in shark infested waters.

Forex Confessions Of An Over Trader

Forex Confessions Of An Over Trader

Hello everyone. I have a confession, I am an over trader. I often make too many trades per day and when I get bored I like to try out different trading ideas. This is the song of many who have and willing continue to lose money trading Forex. Over trading is one of the biggest issues that new and some experienced traders have. Unfortunately, the more many people trade, the more money they lose. Do you like losing money? I doubt that you do. This article will explain why you have to stop trading so much. This is your intervention.

The more decisions a trader has to make, the more mistakes he will make. This is a simple truth that you must understand. When it comes to trading, you want to make as few decisions as possible. You want your trading system to have already decided why you enter and exit a trade. More importantly, you want your money management system to allocate how much money you risk on each trade. These are the types of choices you do not want to make on the fly. You fail and the Forex bullies will have all your money.

Stop giving away your money to the Forex bullies!

Why do we over trade? I know that for me, I love the excitement of trading. I like trying to take money from the market and I love to tinker with different trading concepts. The problem is that I shouldn't be making any trades that do not fall within the confines of my trading system. To be a good trader is to be disciplined and to stick to your strategy. Initially, I lacked the discipline to do this but after blowing up several Forex accounts, I am discipline.

Please learn by mistakes and don't lose all your money like I did.

There is away to tinker!

Yes, we are over traders and we promise to stick to our system. We also need a place to test new systems and strategies. My suggestion is to create  a separate account with a small amount of money that you use to test out your new ideas. I always keep my trading size and leverage low in this account because it is more to test ideas than to make income. In this account I try my more riskier methods and I quench my thirst to trade and my need for speed. I suggest that you setup a similar account.

As you can see, over trading is a disease that many traders have. I am a sufferer but I am slowly getting better. We should aim to trade more so that we can stick to high probability trades and not waste away our account gambling and experimenting. I do understand that there has to be away to test out new ideas and because of this I recommend a smaller account that you use for research and riskier forms of trading. This gives you the best of both worlds.
