Struggling With Forex Trading? Here Are Some Awesome Tips

By Danny Younes


Are you new to the foreign exchange market and looking for tips to help you get started to make smarter trading decisions? This article will endeavor to help you to get started in the forex market.

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.

To be successful on the forex market, you need to practice and hone your skills. You should never go at it alone, you should always seek a mentor. A mentor that I have used in the past is Cashflow FX. They are experienced traders teaching normal everyday investors how to trade the forex market.

When participating in forex trading, a great tip is to have two accounts: a real account and a demo one. The real account is the one in which you do your actual trades. The demo account is strictly used for testing purposes. Use the demo account to test alternative trades and alternate stops. This allows you to become more knowledgeable about the market without sacrificing your actual money.

There are different types of accounts that you can sign up for. Generally setup an account which has lower leverage when you are first starting off. You can also select the position sizes of your trades to be ither a standard lot, mini lot or micro lot. I would recommend starting with a micro lot as you are only risking 0.10 a pip.

Always trade the foreign exchange market within your budget. Also the trend is your friend. Always trade the direction of the trend. If you trade against the trend you will get burnt. Do not risk more than 1% of your overall balance as you want to stay in the game for longer.

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..
