WHY DO FOREX TRADERS FAIL?
Even after a few unsuccessful trades, successful traders stick to their strategies. Avoid repeating mistakes in the future and trade smarter!
Risk management and risk distribution
If you are careful with your trades, they can be a great way to grow your money without too much risk. For example, if you have £10,000 in trading capital and want the maximum loss per trade to be 1%, that means every £100 or less is spent on an open position. This should give traders some breathing room when making big decisions about their Forex strategy while maintaining enough investment exposure to not miss out on all of the fluctuations in the Forex market.
Every trade has some level of risk, but with the correct technique, you can manage this risk. You will have no issue trading for profit if you know what risks are possible and how to assess them.
The only thing you need be concerned about while engaging in these types of trades is not losing sight of liquidity (how quickly a market reacts) or leverage (using more money than necessary). Even with solid judgment and good practices, like with any worthwhile endeavour, some risk is unavoidable!
Number of instruments and trades
If you want to be successful in Forex trading, you must take your time and concentrate on one currency pair at a time. Focusing all of your efforts on one pairing will lead to greater familiarity with not just that particular pair but also any others.
We believe you should start with the fundamentals. Instead of focusing on dozens of currencies, concentrate on a few that are straightforward for beginners to understand, such as GBP and EUR.
For those who are still struggling with Forex trading or any other financial investment, the focus is not profits; it is process development, and simply getting started can be intimidating enough!
Learning from mistakes
It’s difficult to learn from mistakes when we refuse to recognize we made them. Instead, Forex traders may place blame on the market or other external factors for their losses. Confrontation is, nevertheless, a necessary part of the process.
When you make mistakes, it may appear like you are unlucky. Those situations, however, are opportunities to learn and grow from the experience. Mistakes show us what we value in life, our likes and dislikes, as well as which aspects of ourselves need to be improved or strengthened! Making a mistake would be less challenging if people would embrace mistakes for what they are: learning experiences, not failures!
