A positive feedback loop is created as a result of a well-executed trade in accordance with your plan. When you plan a trade and execute it well, you form a positive feedback pattern. Success breeds success, which in turn breeds confidence, especially if the trade is profitable. Even if you take a small loss but do so in accordance with a planned trade, then you will be building a positive feedback loop.

Once you have funded your account, the most important thing to remember is your money is at risk. Therefore, your money should not be needed for regular living expenses. Think of your trading money like vacation money. Once the vacation is over, your money is spent. Have the same attitude toward trading. This will psychologically prepare you to accept small losses, which is key to managing your risk. By focusing on your trades and accepting small losses rather than constantly counting your equity, you will be much more successful.

Secondly, only leverage your trades to a maximum risk of 2% of your total funds. In other words, if you have $10,000 in your trading account, never let any trade lose more than 2% of the account value, or $200. If your stops are further away than 2% of your account, trade shorter timeframes or decrease the leverage.

Expectancy is the formula you use to determine how reliable your system is. You should go back in time and measure all your trades that were winners versus losers, then determine how profitable your winning trades were versus how much your losing trades lost.

Take a look at your last 10 trades. If you haven't made actual trades yet, go back on your chart to where your system would have indicated that you should enter and exit a trade. Determine if you would have made a profit or a loss. Write these results down. Total all your winning trades and divide the answer by the number of winning trades you made. Here is the formula:

E= [1+ (W/L)] x P – 1

where:

W = Average Winning Trade
L = Average Losing Trade
P = Percentage Win Ratio

Example:

If you made 10 trades, six of which were winning trades and four of which were losing trades, your percentage win ratio would be 6/10 or 60%. If your six trades made $2,400, then your average win would be $2,400/6 = $400. If your losses were $1,200, then your average loss would be $1,200/4 = $300. Apply these results to the formula and you get E= [1+ (400/300)] x 0.6 - 1 = 0.40, or 40%. A positive 40% expectancy means your system will return you 40 cents per dollar over the long term.

Many traders get confused by conflicting information that occurs when looking at charts in different timeframes. What shows up as a buying opportunity on a weekly chart could, in fact, show up as a sell signal on an intraday chart. Therefore, if you are taking your basic trading direction from a weekly chart and using a daily chart to time entry, be sure to synchronize the two. In other words, if the weekly chart is giving you a buy signal, wait until the daily chart also confirms a buy signal. Keep your timing in sync.

Before you enter any market as a trader, you need to have some idea of how you will make decisions to execute your trades. You must know what information you will need to make the appropriate decision on entering or exiting a trade. Some people choose to look at the underlying fundamentals of the economy as well as a chart to determine the best time to execute the trade. Others use only technical analysis. Whichever methodology you choose, be consistent and be sure your methodology is adaptive. Your system should keep up with the changing dynamics of a market.

This is trading psychology. You have to be careful, so that anxiety and greed does not make you lose money. Trade with the minimum given so that you do not lose money. Many factors affect how much money you will gain, so you have to manage to expect anything. Greed may make you ignore or overlook those factors. Outline what position you are at. If you are anxious, hoping to get a lot of money and then you end up not getting it, you may trigger yourself into making further losses through more mistakes, and you might not bear those losses. Check your emotional undertones. If you are not in the mood to trade, keep off the platform until you are sober.

If you think you can turn trading Forex into a casual exercise to consistently supplement your monthly income, think again.

The only way to succeed in Forex is by taking your trading seriously.

One of the most important Forex trading tips is the simplest but perhaps most difficult to follow. Only deposit money in your trading account once. Whether that be $1000 or $10,000, consider it a gift to the Forex gods and don’t give them any more. At certain points in time you’ll be tempted to contribute more money to your Forex trading account. Do not. Know when to call it quits if markets move against you.

Currency markets are volatile, if you haven’t already picked up on this. All top traders make sure to cover their positions in a number of different ways including using stop losses and reducing their leverage amount. Another strategy traders use that you can add to your growing list of expert Forex trading tips, is to utilise a tool, called a hedge, to reduce risk exposure. A Forex hedge simply covers a trader’s position in currency markets by taking the opposite position in the currency options market. If market prices go against a trade in the Forex market, an option to buy or sell that currency option is exercised. This in turn offsets or limits any losses from a trade gone.

The most important of Forex trading tips is centred around timing. This sounds incredibly vague so I’ll elaborate. Everything in the world of Forex is related to time. Material financial data that traders use as a guide when executing trades is consistently released at the same time. Reserve bank announcements regarding monetary policy and interest rate announcements take place at the same time every month. Jobs data, farming/agricultural output and information about trade surpluses and deficits are all tradable market events as volumes spike and prices fluctuate.

For example, the world waits in anticipation as the US Federal Reserve Bank decides whether or not to increase interest rates for the first time in 10 years. Interest rate announcements always attract Forex traders to the market as currencies are often directly impacted by the decision. However, this particular event is likely to be a landmark trading day as traders from all over the world try to predict the outcome. As a budding forex trader, one of the best forex trading tips is to know exactly when important market events take place so you can prepare your trades to leverage off spikes in trading activity.

One of the most common mistakes that beginning traders make is that tend to equate losses with failure. And this is especially true for those that are accomplished in their own profession such as Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers and other highly successful individuals. They are used to getting things right and achieving their goals. And so, they bring this mentality to the markets and it tends to cause havoc on their psyche.

First and foremost, anyone that is entering the trading world, should realize losses are a natural part of trading. They must accept this and believe this in their core being in order truly overcome the negative emotions associated with losing trades.

Professional traders, on the other hand, have come to realize that trading is a game of probabilities and that no single trade or even a string of trades has much meaning in the whole scheme of things. So, a winning trade or a losing trade does not affect their emotional makeup.

Amateur traders are much more effected by recency bias, meaning their mood and actions in the market are heavily influenced by their most recent trade performance. These traders should take necessary steps to train their brains to view losses as a necessary cost of doing business rather than a reflection on their intelligence or judgement.
