5 Fatal Mistakes that Novice Traders do in Forex Trading
First of all if not having a trading system. Imagine this, you are walking down a dark alley, if you do not have a direction that you would want to go, you will reach nowhere. but if you do have element that you follow and stick by it such as rules and mental models that you equip yourself with, then there will be no issues in terms of being a profitable trader.
Next would be not following money Management. even though you have a strategy that make you money every single time, but not following a proper management can result in disaster. because if you know how to manage your risk and how much you are betting every time you take a position then, you would not overtrade or even over risk your hard earned money. you will have a system on how to manage your money.
Using high Leverage. this is by far the reason why traders overtrade and burst their account to zero even though they predicted the outcome correctly. imagine taking 20 positions at the same price level, if the market ever goes against you, then 20 position worth of loss will be reflected on your account. but if you spread your 20 positions/orders throughout the market that goes down, then you have a better chance of your account surviving.
Using Emotions while trading. IF a trader can can detach their emotions whenever they are looking at the chart, they can totally be a successful trader, this is because when a trader have emotions attached to the chart, every single small movement of the market will make them to make decision and it would not be a wise one. One way is to look at higher timeframes so that you do not get emotionally attached to small changes in price. You only look at the chart one time a day.
Last would be trading everyday. There is saying that, if you want to be rich , you should be trading every single day. that is not true as opportunity does not come every day. you should always wait for the best opportunity and a very good bargain to enter the market. witht his, you can have a higher risk reward which gives you the best returns.
