What You Should Do If You Are Daytrader?

Day trading refers to buying then selling or selling short then buying the same security on the same day. If you’ve ever thought about trying your own luck with day trading on the stock market, here are some important things you should know and do first:

1. Most day traders don’t make any money
It’s true: academic studies like this one show how hard it is to make a profit through day trading. As the study notes, 8 out of 10 day traders lose money – and while heavy day traders earn gross profits, that money is not enough to cover transaction costs.

2. You’re irrational
No matter how level-headed you think you are, when it comes to money, we have inherent behavioral biases that are nearly impossible to overcome. Academic studies have covered these at length – hindsight bias, loss aversion and plain old greed can lead us to make bad decisions when it comes to managing our money and buying and selling stocks.

3. You need to have money to burn
Or, at least you need to have enough money so that any losses won’t financially destroy you. The same goes for your emergency fund. And borrowing money to day trade is also pretty risky business.

4. You don’t get to keep all the money
As the academic paper referenced earlier found, most heavy traders don’t earn enough to cover their transaction costs. That’s because every time you buy or sell a security, you’re paying for the privilege. Transaction costs can vary depending on what platform you use.

5. You can’t predict the future
Day trading is essentially market timing. You make money when you anticipate what others are going to do and act first. Hit the buy or sell button too late and you can lose more money. The thing is, nobody can predict the future – you need to be able to handle the uncertainty and to stay calm in the meantime.

6. Avoid trading during the first 15 minutes of the market open
Those first 15 minutes of market action are often panic trades or market orders placed the night before. Novice day traders should avoid this time period while also looking for reversals. If you’re looking to make quick profits, it’s best to wait a while until you’re able to spot rewarding opportunities. Even many pros avoid the market open.

7. Have a selling plan
Many rookies spend most of their time thinking about stocks they want to buy without considering when to sell. Before you enter the market, you need to know in advance when to exit, hopefully with a profit. “Playing it by ear” is not a selling strategy, nor is hope. As a day trader, you’ll set a price target as well as a time target.

8. Keep a journal of all your trades
Many pros swear by their journal, where they keep records of all their winning and losing trades. Writing down what you did right, or wrong, will help you improve as a trader, which is your primary goal. Not surprisingly, you’ll probably learn more from your losers than your winners.

9. Practice day trading in a paper-trading account
Although not everyone agrees that practice trading is important, it can be beneficial to some traders. If you do open a practice account, be sure to trade with a realistic amount of money. It’s not helpful to practice trade with a million dollars if the most you have in your account is $30,000. Also, if you do practice trade, think of it as an educational exercise, not a game.

10. Never act on tips from uninformed sources
Most pros know that buy or sell signal based on tips from uninformed acquaintances will almost always lead to bad trades. Knowing what stocks to buy is not enough. You also have to know when to sell, and by then the tipster is long gone.

Why Do Many Forex Traders Always Lose Their Money? Part 2

Why Do Many Forex Traders Always Lose Their Money? Part 2

13. Not learning to trade the daily charts first

Be a huge proponent of focusing one’s market analysis efforts on the daily charts. I believe lower time frames have a lot of random price “noise” and give a much more difficult to interpret picture of the overall market structure than the daily charts do. I see no problem in trading the 4hr or 1hr charts, but I recommend all traders learn to master the daily charts first.

14. Thinking the Market is "Wrong"

The market, however, is never right or wrong – it simply is. If a trader is losing money trading a particular currency or stock, then that trader is wrong, not the market.

15. Expecting to get rich quick

This point sort of encompasses the others in that if you are over-trading, risking too much, or doing any of the other things discussed here, you are simply being greedy and trying to make as much money as fast as you can. Well, the fact of trading is that the “harder” you try to make money and the more you feel a need to make money in the markets, the worse you are probably going to do. FOREX Trading successfully requires a clear and relaxed mindset, one that does not care whether you win, lose or draw, because you know that over a given period of time you will make money if you trade in a discipline and controlled manner.

16. Incorrectly managing trades

Most traders mess up AFTER they enter their trades by meddling with their targets and stops or adding to positions unnecessarily. One of my core trading philosophies is to just “set and forget” your trades, because you are always going to be the most objective and clear-minded BEFORE you enter a trade rather than when the trade is live.

17. Gambling instead of trading

By gambling I mean trading without a proven high-probability trading edge. Many traders complain of losing money and yet they don’t even really have a definable trading strategy. Simply put, if you don’t know EXACTLY what you are looking for in the market you are never going to make money consistently, or at all.

18. Random Decisions/No Consistency

The market is either going to move up and down, so if you take an educated guess you should be able to make money. Well for those who have tried this will have no doubt discovered that lack of consistency in trading is not lucrative. Sure the market can only move in one direction, but for how long before it reverses. You get plenty of days where the market will move up, down, back up then down again. How many times would your stop have been triggered chasing price around like this? It would be super frustrating. Most people find Forex trading very attractive because it give a person complete control, breaking free of all the rules from their day to day life. Unfortunately the Forex market requires rules, structure and consistency at an even more intense level than your daily life does. So if you’re looking to operate “rule free”, then trading is probably not for you.

 

19. Trading Under Emotion

We already spoke about trading being the ultimate psychological challenge of life. A lot of the market participants are human aside from all the trading algorithms, so the market is one giant psychological machine. If you display emotional weakness, the market will exploit your emotions and use them against you, taking your hard earned money. A lot of traders take on Forex trading because they want to use it to fix some underlying financial problem in their life, or just want to generate fast money. Trading for the wrong reasons will make you vulnerable to emotional fueled mistakes because you’ve got “too much at stake”.

20. No Experience

Like any other profession, Forex is something that takes time. You can’t expect to walk into a job, inexperienced, and expect to be promoted to the manager the next day. Forex trading requires a learning phase essential to conditioning yourself, and to build a compatible mind-set for the markets. Trading is probably unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Your day to day life does not prepare you for it. The logic learned from the outside world can’t be applied successfully to the markets, the two just don’t mix. Before throwing in large amounts of your savings into the markets, make sure you’ve had a good dose of experience first.

21. Trying to Understand too Many Things/Over Complication

If you make your trading complicated then you will end up becoming a vegetable. There is a huge amount of trading systems out there, and most of them are just too intense. Too many of these systems bring in all these extra external variables onto the charts. Things like indicators, expert advisors, economic figures or other “magic” trading tools. All the extra data on your chart makes the system confusing, overwhelming and frustrating. Multiple variables often conflicting with one another, so the more you bring in, the harder chart analysis becomes.

22. Not accepting that losing is part of winning

Many traders seem to have an innate ability to not want to accept that losing is part of the game of trading. They tend to place blame on the market, on their broker, on not having enough money in their accounts, or any number of other reasons. The simple fact of the matter is that you are going to lose trades no matter what you do. So, you better learn to accept this early on, embrace it, and figure out a way to incorporate losing into your trading plan. You can lose “successfully” by learning to take small losses relative to your rewards, never move your stop further from your entry, and always trade with a stop loss. There is usually no need to meddle with your trades. If you have pre-defined your risk then you should be OK with losing that amount of money, let the trade play out to either hit your pre-defined stop loss or move into profit. You need to do your work before you enter the market, not after.

Conclusions

Sadly, this list covers only a fraction of the multitude of mistakes made by forex traders. We hope this list is useful to you, and we look forward to working with you for a long time to come.

Why Do Many Forex Traders Always Lose Their Money? Part 1

Why Do Many Forex Traders Always Lose Their Money? Part 1

It's commonly known that most forex traders fail. In fact, it's estimated that 96 percent of forex traders lose money and end up quitting. To help you to be in that elusive 4 percent of winning traders, I have compiled a list of the most common reasons why forex traders lose money. Let’s study and learn all the reason listed here.

1. Low start up capital

You must have some money to make some money. It's possible for you to generate outstanding returns on limited capital in the short term. However, with only a small amount of capital and outsized risk, you will find yourself being emotional with each swing of the market and jumping in and out and the worst times possible.

2. Failure to manage risk

Risk management is a key to survival. You can be a very skilled trader and still be wiped out by poor risk management. Your number one job is not to make a profit, but rather to protect what you have. As your capital gets depleted, your ability to make a profit is lost.

3. Greed

Some traders are greedy. They feel that they need to squeeze every last pip out of a move because there is money to be made every day. Trying to grab every last pip before a currency pair turns can set you up to lose the profitable trade that you are sitting on.

4. Indecisive Trading

Sometimes you might find yourself suffering from trading remorse. This happens when a trade that you open isn't immediately profitable, and you start saying to yourself that you picked the wrong direction, and then you close your trade and reverse it, only to see the market go back in the initial direction that you chose.

5. Trying to pick tops or bottoms

Many new traders try to pick turning points in currency pairs. They will place a trade on a pair, and as it keeps going in the wrong direction, they continue to add to their position being sure that it is about to turn around this time. If you trade this way, in the end you end up with much more exposure than you planned, and a terribly negative trade.

6. Refusing to be wrong

Some trades just don't work out. It's human nature to want to be right, but sometimes we just aren't. As a trader, sometimes you have to just be wrong and move on, instead of clinging to the idea of being right and ending up with a blown account.

7. Buying a System

There are many "forex trading systems" for sale on the internet. Some traders are out there looking for the ever elusive "100 percent accurate forex trading system". They keep buying systems and trying them until finally giving up deciding that there is no way to win.

8. Over-trading

This one is pretty self-explanatory, but it’s also probably the number one reason why so many Forex traders fail to make money in the markets. If you are trading too often, you are going to deplete your trading account very fast. You need to only enter high-probability trade setups and have the patience to wait for them.

9. Failing to Consider All 3 Elements of a Trade

The Elements of a Trade
There are three equally essential elements to every trade, each equally important to the long-term success of a trader. Unfortunately, most new and unsuccessful traders only pay attention to one, or at most two of these elements. The three elements to every trade are as follows: (1) entry (the price at which the trade is entered), (2) stop (the price at which the trade is exited for a loss) and (3) target (the price at which the trade is exited for profit). All three are equally important to the success of the trader, but most new traders only pay attention to the entry, and maybe the stop.

10. Moving Your Stops

Now that we’ve discussed what stops are, and how they should be placed, we need to discuss another major mistake made by new traders when it comes to their stops. Nobody likes to be wrong, and nobody likes losing, but unfortunately, both being wrong and losing are a major part of being a forex trader. The problem that new traders (and even some more experienced traders) often encounter is that they let their aversion to being wrong and losing interfere with their trade setups. If a trader sets their stop correctly, at the invalidation level of their trade setup, there should never be any reason to move the stop.

11. Risking too much per trade

This one is also pretty self-explanatory. But, time and time again traders blow out their trading accounts because they “loaded up” on a trade that they were “sure” about. The truth is that you NEVER know for sure which trades will win and which trades will lose, even if you have a high-probability trading strategy and follow it religiously. For this reason, it is critical that you effectively manage your risk on EVERY single trade you take. Eventually, if you are managing your risk effectively on each trade and using a high-probability trading strategy, you will make money over time.

12. Not Having/Not Following a Trading Plan

A trading plan is essential for all traders, new and old. A trading plan should lay out not only the setups the trader will look to trade, but also the risk management strategy of the trader. For example, a trading plan should include weekly, monthly and quarterly pip targets, the maximum amount of capital a trader is willing to lose in a given week, month or quarter, the pairs a trader will be trading, the maximum number of trades a trader will take at one time, what he or she is looking for, how much they are willing to risk, and how much they are looking to make. and anything else that may be important to the success of the trader. Trading plans don’t need to be overly complicated, but they do need to be created and followed.

7 Warren Buffet Quotes that Could Revolutionize Your Trading

1. “Beware of geeks bearing formulas.”

This is a great quote. For the past few years, more and more coders and programmers have flooded into the Forex market. With little to no actual trading experience, they code trading robots and indicators. All these formulas and code usually (or always) amount to nothing, when used live.

Geeks and their formulas don’t meld well with Forex, or other financial markets, especially when the person bearing the formula is not an experienced, professional trader.

2. “If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.”

This one is obvious to experienced traders. What happened last week, month or year or a decade ago will not necessarily repeat itself in Forex.

If you look to the past, for ideas on trading in the future, you won’t be successful. This is why I am a proponent of price action trading. Price action is all about the here and now.

3. “Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”

This obviously does not apply only to Forex. However, one of the biggest issues that hurt new traders are bad habits. These come from many different sources. You can have bad personal habits that do not meld well with Forex. If you’re easily stressed, or quick to anger, in day to day life and carry that through to your trading it will hurt you. This is why you should have a strategy in place to nip bad habits in the bud.

Demo accounts are also a major cause of bad habits. Traders who spend a long time trading demo accounts tend to become too open to risk.

4. “Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.”

I love this quote. There are so many failed Forex traders out there who turn to selling products, because they cannot trade. These guys are marketers not traders. They may be smart people, in general, but when it comes to trading they are idiots. So let the idiots read what the idiots wrote.

5. “Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.”

This one is self-explanatory. Even though it makes perfect sense it is hard to put into practice. That should not stop you from trying though.

6. “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”

This says it all and it is a huge problem in the Forex market. So many people come into Forex with absolutely no clue what they are doing. Yet they jump into the market and they get batted around, like a cat playing with a little bitty mouse.

Check out this post in the forum. This guy entered a trade minutes before the release of the NFP, last Friday. That is a massive risk and it is no wonder he lost the trade. The guy simply did not know what he was doing and it cost him.

7. “When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.”

Even though the CFTC has limited leverage for US traders, outside of the US people can still get leverage as high as 500:1. Leverage can be a great aid if you know what you’re doing. However, when you combine a newbie with leverage it almost certainly spells disaster.

Trading Psychology Forex Trader

Every market participant has his or her own set of reasons and rationales for placing an order today. Although many reasons to sell exist — to pay taxes, generate cash for college tuition, or meet a pension obligation, among many others — there’s only one reason to buy: You think the security is going up in price.

For that reason alone, traders often pay more attention to what is happening to buy orders than to sell orders. To get a sense of who is projecting a profit, traders look at the number of buy orders coming in, how large they are, and at what price.

Because there are so many good reasons to sell but only one good reason to buy, the market can take a long time to recognize bearish (pessimistic) sentiment indicators. Even if you see that prices should start to go down in the near future, you have to consider that the market today can be very different from what you see coming up. And as a day trader, you only have today.

The psychological aspect of trading is extremely important, and the reason for that is fairly simple: A trader is often darting in and out of trade on short notice, and is forced to make quick decisions. To accomplish this, they need a certain presence of mind. They also, by extension, need discipline, so that they stick with previously established trading plans and know when to book profits and losses. Emotions simply can't get in the way.

Traders need to understand what fear is - simply a natural reaction to what they perceive as a threat (in this case perhaps to their profit or money-making potential). Quantifying the fear might help. Or that they may be able to better deal with fear by pondering what they are afraid of, and why they are afraid of it.

The best traders are able to figure out the psychology of the market almost by instinct. They can’t necessarily explain what they do — which makes it hard for those trying to learn from them.

But they can tell you this much: If you can rationally determine why the person on the other side of the trade is trading, you can be in a better position to make money and avoid the big mistakes brought on by hope, fear, and greed.

Forex Education - Fundamental Vs Technical

Analysis in forex trading can be categorised into two areas, fundamental and technical. Fundamental analysis is concerned with the economy of the country. So for instance, if the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is positive and increasing then the country is growing and its populous (at least the majority of them) will be feeling richer and eager to spend on non-essential items. Businesses too are also likely to go on a spending spree as they nurture a growing balance sheet.

For Policy Makers in the Country's Central Bank, this is a sure sign that inflation will soon rip. As people shop more, the value of the goods are bound to rise as factories in the country and overseas find it difficult to keep up with supplying the goods. As the prices increase so will inflation, especially if businesses also give their employees a pay rise that is in excess of the level of inflation. If this situation is unchecked then the country could get into an ever increasing level of inflation leading to a ghastly era of hyperinflation. History has grave warnings for any country with hyperinflation.

In such circumstances and for obvious reasons, the Central Banks will stamp down hard and early on inflation in the only sure way they know which is by raising their interest rate. The main reason for doing this is to 'mop-up' the excess liquidity in the economy which has other profound consequences such as the resulting rise in the value of the currency. This is a fundamental event in currency trading.

Traders eagerly look out for clues in the numerous economic reports that come out every month for indication as to which way the economy is headed. If the numbers start to point to an improvement in the next GDP figure then they are likely to start speculating on the rise in interest rate at the next policy meeting of the Central Bank and begin purchasing the local currency in anticipation.

Conversely, if the economic indicators are pointing towards contraction in the economy, the Central Bank is likely to loosen their monetary policy by lowering their interest rate. This is done so as to encourage spending in the economy in order to drive the country out of its doldrums but with the consequence of lowering the value of its currency. Once again this is a fundamental event in forex trading.

Technical analysis is concerned with price action on a chart. It is essentially a study on the herd mentality of traders who have a position on that particular currency pair (remember, currencies are traded in pairs for instance EUR/USD). By using indicators on the chart, a trader can gain valuable clues as to where the currency pair is headed next.

Technical traders normally trade on lower time frames for instance anything from 1 minute to 4 hours whereas fundamental traders pick 4 hours and upwards. For the technical trader, the economic news, commentary by government officials and policy makers pose a serious risk of reversing their trades. It is a constant minefield they have to negotiate with their positions.

For the fundamental trader, the technical aspects of the trade are less of a concern and hindrance. Because they are looking at a longer horizon, the technical reversals in price are mere blips on their way to their ultimate goal. Fundamental trading is also known as Position trading and it also usually involves trading at a low or the lowest possible margin.

A notable Position trader is George Soros who in 1992 took a fundamental stance against the British pound and gained a cool 1 billion USD. He speculated that the Bank of England would not be able to keep the British Pound above a certain threshold in which he was proven right and rewarded extremely well for his correct speculation.

Whether trading using the Fundamental or Technical principle, currency trading should be deemed risky and traded cautiously.

Best Forex Strategies

The forex market provides a stream of opportunities that individual traders can learn to profit from on a consistent basis if they implement a forex strategy that works. There really is a big difference between trading strategies that actually allow you to maintain a clear trading mindset while still providing you with a high probability edge in the market, and those that do not. Those forex strategies that provide you with the tools you need to profit consistently in the forex market will typically be centered on core market data instead of secondary indicators or trading software programs.

When trying to find a forex trading strategy that is based on core market data and not on secondary indicators you can run into great difficulty if you do not know what to look for, largely because there is a mass amount of misinformation and scams in the realm of forex trading information. As a result, many beginning traders make the mistake of committing themselves to a trading strategy that is both ineffective and overly complicated at the same time, setting themselves up for failure at the very beginning of their trading career. This is why it is critical that you learn about the best forex strategies as soon as you can by seeking out those strategies that possess the following the characteristics:

• Avoid those forex trading methods that are essentially nothing more than a forex system of rigid trading rules.

• Look for forex trading methods that consist of a more flexible forex trading strategy that will allow you to adapt your method to all time frames and all market conditions; most rigid trading "systems" simply do not meet this requirement.

Find the Best Forex Expert Advisor Right Here

One of the most popular trading platforms around today is in the Forex (Foreign Exchange) market. All kinds of investors are flocking there to try their hand at the massive amounts of profits that are available each and every day. Sometimes these opportunities can be overwhelming, and the need for an expert advisor is one area that will definitely help out with this dilemma.

Expert Advisor (EA) software is designed to work with the investor, and help to conduct trades on an automatic basis using the current strategies that he has deemed useful. By using this type of program, many speculators in the Forex market have found that they can produce consistent results, and are usually in profitable trades.

This assumes that the input settings were properly programmed, and that the strategy was working before adding the software utility itself. Typically, designers have written code to be used with the MetaTrader 4; a platform that is being employed by a large number of traders in this market. It really doesn't matter what kind of strategy is being used -- whether long term or possibly scalping, an EA is a most powerful tool to analyze the marketplace.

There are different versions, but some exist that will cover both types of strategies -- if the investors likes to dabble a little bit in each. Markets can go up or down, and sometimes even sideways for an extended period of time, so having a program that can sort this out, makes trading a lot easier.

It can even go so far as to locate the proper broker to use after buying the program. This small step in itself can be crucial, since there is a fine line between profit and loss in the Forex market. Profits are there for the taking, and with a powerful ally by their sides, most players can take full advantage of this possibility.

Another great feature to have is the ability to trade multiple pairs of currency at the same time. However, not all of the strategies will be conducive to this type of trading, so it might be a case of trial and error.

Still, investors could be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of EA programs that are being offered. A good start might be to see what other top investors are using, or checking out some forums to read customer reviews on one of interest. This will at least provide a glimpse into what the program will do. Choosing the right EA is one of the most important things a trader can do to realize a consistent profit.

NOTE: By researching and comparing the best forex trading softwares and platforms in the market, you will determine the one that meets your very specific financial situation and experience level.
