Forex Traders are the Coolest People

Forex Traders are the Coolest People

You heard that right! We are the COOLEST people around.

You can’t be not cool if you are a forex trader.

LOL> What i meant was to have a cool head in trading.

Alot of times in trading, we will meet with setbacks.

And the setbacks almost always occur when we have traded a trade we shouldn’t have,

OR, we traded a lotsize we shouldn’t have.

Ring a bell?

Some way or another, the market always knows when to get us. It’s like they are our enemy.

The truth is, it’s not.

The market couldn’t care less if you are a profitable or a losing trader.

That’s just how the market moves.

In order to be a successful forex trader, we’ve got to keep a cool head at all times.

Are you COOL?

Many will agree with me that after they have traded forex. They feel more well controlled, calmer, steady, cool or anyword you can describe it.

And that’s one of the benefits of trading forex.

We have learnt to keep a cool head in times of adversity.

We have learnt to keep a cool head when we make losses.

We have learnt to keep a cool head when we make profits (not to over celebrate)

And after we have learnt to keep a cool head.

Forex trading isn’t really much of a roller coaster ride as some said.

We are in control.

We know how to increase the risks if we want.

We know how to reduce the risks too.

But most of the time, our risks are managed and a profit or a loss doesn’t really affect us.

Here’s a tip

As you already know, keeping a cool head is extremely essential in forex trading.

If we aren’t cool, if we feel our heart thumping, feel red in our face.

You know you will almost always do the wrong thing.

That’s why we as human does and say things we wouldn’t normally do when we are angry or frustrated.

What i do and still do is to play a nice calming music at the background when I trade. And all the more important you should play it if you feel frustrated.

In the menu bar above, under forex tools, there’s a.

Forex Trading Psychology Music

.

That’s the one i like. It’s calming and makes me able to focus. I use it not only when trading forex but also play it when i want to focus on something.

Try it, its good.

And if the music still doesn’t curb your emotion running in you. I’ll suggest you stop trading until you really know that you have calm down and really cool enough to go back to trading.

Emotions are what that kills us humans.

Successful traders are really cool.

They meet a loss with a smile.

And a profit with a smile too.

It’s all part of the game.

So keep a cool head my fellow trader friends!

2 Main Types of Forex trading methods 2016

2 Main Types of Forex trading methods 2016

In this forex trading article, I’m going to talk about 2 main types of forex trading methodology.

Yes, I do know that there are thousands and if not millions of forex trading strategies out there. And these forex trading strategies are also categorized into these 2 main types of trading methodology.

Which are:

1. Current Market Trades (CMT)

2. Pre Planned Trades (PPT)

Now note that in these 2 categories, there are also many forex trading strategies built among it. However, most strategies are built on current market trades (CMT).

Let’s elaborate:

Current Market Trades (CMT)

Current market trades are the most common trading strategies taught in the market. Which could include:

Example-

1) Crossing of moving average – when a certain moving average crosses another moving average. It is an indication to sell or buy.

2) Indicators that are over bought or over sold and combined with another indicator to confirm a “Sell or Buy trade”

And of course many more.

The 2 examples above are CMT. Which means, they are formed when the market is moving and you’ve to be there when it happens. To put it in another way, these trades setups are not planned. For example, you cannot plan when the moving average will cross. They are formed by the market as the market moves.

Now let’s talk about what are pre-planned trades before we discuss further.

Pre-Planned Trades (PPT)

What exactly are Pre-Planned trades. PPT are essentially trade setups that you have planned and waiting for them to reach your desired location.

Let’s use a basic example: Eg. you have decided that eg. the 1.500 level is a strong level of support and resistance. And thats because the forex market has been respecting the level alot and there’s always a rejection when price reaches that area.

Now this can now be considered a Pre-Planned Trade. Meaning we are now waiting for the market to reach the 1.5 level. And when it reaches the level, together with price action and other confluence. We can take the trade.

Let’s talk about about PPT

Professional forex traders who trade for a living would have a similar trait. They do their analysis before a trade. And they will usually do a weekly round up and setup Pre-Planned trades for the coming week.

This is what we do. So when we trade for the new week. We already know what pairs we are trading, where to trade them, how to trade them as  we had already evaluated them before hand. So there will be little surprise and little emotion going on when we take out trades.

It’s because everything is PRE PLANNED!

In comparison to Current Market Trades (CMT), there will be lots of deviation in the market and lots of discretion. These aren’t pre-planned and they usually require a fast analysis (as the market moves fast at times) and also a thorough analysis before taking the trade.

Now the question is, which side are you on currently?

PPT, CMT or a combination?

Remember, forex trading is a career. And since we are trading for a long time, would you want to trade with higher certainty and lesser surprises and emotions?

If it is, then PPT is the way.

Now with that said, I will say most who starts learning about forex and starts trading in the early stages will be in the CMT category.

And as their trading journey goes, the ones’s that are still continuing trading, some will move over and starts trading the PPT way.

In my opinion, PPT is the way to trade. Lesser stress, lesser discretion. Higher probability of winning.

So if you are still trading the CMT way, you can now look into the new area – PPT and do a combination of both.

How to Make Money in Forex 2016

How to Make Money in Forex 2016

When we trade forex, I believe we all want to achieve one thing:

That is to make money in forex.

It’s pretty obvious isn’t it.

However, the fact is, most of the traders aren’t successful in live but they make good money in demo.

Why?

The answer to this leads to the topic:

How to Make Money in Forex

You see, when we trade our demo account.

We are pretty much in a relax state of mind.

And when we trade, we have little consideration – after all, it’s not real money!

Therefore since it’s not real money, we are not overly involve mentally.

Even if we make a loss, it’s not our money. So we feel none to little pinch.

When we have that relax state of mind, whenever we put a trade that has been planned.

Eg. we have set our profit target and our stoploss point.

We will let it run.

And sometimes, due to other work commitments.

And as we are still demoing forex (forex is still just a “play thing”)

We would come back 1-2 weeks later to check the market and the status of our trades.

And only to realise that our trade has been closed and our account is making money.

And there could also be occasions where we place a entry trade and decided to trail.

But we forgot about the trade and 2 weeks later, when we turn on our forex trading platform.

Wow, we have a nice surprise! Our trade is still running and with a HUGE profit!

Forex is not that difficult after all!

Let’s go LIVE & Make some Money

So, we fund our live account.

And we start to get all nervy and anxious.

BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT TO MAKE SERIOUS MONEY!!!

And as it’s real this time.

We decided to pay more attention in forex.

Find more opportunities to maximize our returns.

Because the last time in demo, we were just trading normally, without much effort and wasn’t really finding trades.

So this time round, if we pay more attention and start finding trades. We will make more money!

EASY!

We started getting into trades, and we started watching the trades we entered.

With every dollar going up, we feel great.

With every dollar going down, we felt the stress and the uneasiness.

And so we started monitoring the trades and try to get out before it hits our stoploss.

And on another case, get out for some quick money first although its far from our take profit point (because it might reverse down, right?).

And then after losing a few trades, our capital went down.

We figured, let’s increase the lot size!

And make back the money lost, and get more profits this time.

And before we know it, our account got heavily depleted.

What Went Wrong?

We were making good money in demo, and infact making great returns on demo.

But in live, we are losing money.

Are the forex brokers eating our money? Are they cheating us?

Is the market against us because they know that we are trading live this time?

The answer is none of the above.

The fact is, nothing changed.

YOU CHANGED.

- You went from relax to anxious.

- You went from not monitoring trades to constantly monitoring of trades.

- You went from not touching trades that you entered, to editing your trades and get out for a quick profit or a small/huge loss.

- You went from trading little, but prominent trades to finding lots of trades to enter so that you can maximize the returns.

- You went from calmness to greed and then to fear, then to desperation.

These are what that caused your failure.

Let’s Work Backwards

And if that’s what caused our failure.

Shouldn’t we reverse engineer it and work backwards.

By entering a trade with a relax state of mind, and only finding prominent trade setups.

Spending little time monitoring the market, turn on forex only when you are free.

Once entered a trade with the preplan take profit and stop loss levels all set.

- We forgot that trade. (it’s erased from our memory)

And then when we are free again, we find another good trade and we enter again.

Because forex is not that important, and we are only “testing” this new toy “part time”.

We don’t need an income for this.

We are only playing a game of forex during our free time.

There is no urgency behind it to grow our account.

And so we pay “minimal attention to forex”

Try this

If you are too stressed out in forex, and spending too much time in the market.

Try this for a while and see how does it work for you.

I’m not saying to totally neglect forex, the main idea is to not let forex affect you in any way.

Whether it’s a profit or a loss. It’s of little significance.

And you can afford to forget a trade you entered for 1 to 2 weeks and then come back again.

The idea is to make it so INSIGNIFICANT.

When that mindset is built into you.

You will have less feelings and emotions when you trade.

And you do not monitor or touch your trades anymore.

As ironic as this sounds.

It’s true.

The take away is:

Make Forex INSIGNIFICANT in your life. Just treat it like a game you play on your free time. Like a mobile app game.

You see, people take Forex Tooooooo SERIOUSLY

When that happens, the results are disastrous.

So take that demo trading mentality all again and forget that your account is real.

It’s now just a “demo real account”. Just a toy. Just for fun.

How "Being Smart" Almost Killed My Trading forex Career

How "Being Smart" Almost Killed My Trading forex Career

By and large, in exchanging, you need to face numerous difficulties each and every day. For instance, you need to battle against innovation relentless; you see things in the business sector that you've never seen, which you aren't prepared for yet and you always question your capacities when things don't go the right way. 

However, primarily, more often than not, you need to battle against your greatest foe - your Ego. To put it plainly, I need to concede that I could have advanced toward effective exchanging much quicker in the event that I had known more about the inner self related exchanging mony impediments before. 

Presumably, the greatest sense of self related issue originates from a self-conviction that you are strangely keen and that "being brilliant" is precisely what you have to "beat markets". All things considered, let me let you know this: Believing "being savvy" is the right approach to approach markets produces, by and large, much more regrettable results than conceding the way that we know essentially nothing. 

When you begin working from an alternate point of view, tolerating that good fortune, unconstrained thoughts and inventiveness are the key in the realm of business sectors, and that these are irregular and baffling, you'll begin moving towards achievement much speedier.

 As opposed to that, adhering to the conviction that you can "defeat" the business sector because of your knowledge, is likely the most exceedingly bad approach ever.

 Truly. Before, I got into an excess of traps just by feeling that I was smart to the point that I needed to demonstrat to it to everyone - the interminable brilliance of my self image!

 However, after numerous hard lessons, I understood that doing that to satisfy my inner self could have totally lethal results. For instance, one and a half years back, despite everything I recall really well, needing to demonstrate my work group, and myself as well, how brilliant I was by setting up a fence investments.. 

Around then, we were building up another Design and Prototype code (a code that naturally outlines and creates exchanging systems - I call it a D&P Code) and I concluded that it would be my "most brilliant" code ever, that it would be THE code. In this way, I put all the fanciest thoughts I had into it, and was always attempting to awe everyone around me with the level of many-sided quality and oddity I could get and handle. I got so self image driven with that venture that the genuine result, after numerous months of diligent work, was that we couldn't complete it!

 It all just got excessively perplexing, excessively goal-oriented, too sense of self driven. 

Those theoretical, specialized perspectives and the ceaseless disappointment of the exceptionally constraining potential outcomes of innovation we were utilizing were such a battle, to the point that we needed to surrender. 

The most exceedingly awful part was that I had thought about each one of those confinements of innovation;

 I had realized this level of multifaceted nature and relevancy wasn't possible inside of our conceivable outcomes and time span - however I was all the while pushing to show everyone that I was the sharpest! 

After all that experience, which couldn't have had an alternate result, I felt truly crushed and my self-regard went low. Obviously, around then I didn't understand that it was all because of my self image issue. I faulted everything and everyone around me. At last, I set the task aside and chose to overlook it.

 Over a year later, when I was at that point ready to see my inner self related issues all the more obviously, I chose to return to the task, with another viewpoint and a genuine push to take a gander at everything with a new personality, without the sense of self being connected. When I opened the work as we had abandoned it for quite a while, and saw each one of those 10.000 lines of code, I was truly stunned at how I could have ever imagined this could ever work! 

In spite of brimming with new thoughts and oddity, it was additionally far as well (over)complex, (over)complicated and (over)ambitious. Right then and there it had a craving for taking a gander at my very own picture Ego: Proud, enormous, intricate, hungry, forever discontent. 

It was similar to taking a gander at a sort of mirror and it was an exceptionally solid negative feeling, and an extremely important lesson by the day's end. (Later on, I attempted to get as much as I could from that lesson and we added to another Design and Prototype code, much lighter, more minimal, and driven by the enthusiasm and by the delight of the procedure, as opposed to by personality and the need to awe everyone around me). And this is only one of numerous illustrations.

 The issue with exchanging is that it's a truly difficult (additionally extremely remunerating) calling. When you begin doing great, you begin feeling extremely pleased with being one of only a handful few who has made it. Along these lines

Gold Is the Answer to the Coming Crisis

Gold Is the Answer to the Coming Crisis

Since Japan is us,Also, that ain't great.

Japan has put the power of Atlas into moving paradise and earth with expectations of kicking off its feeble economy. But then... Japan's economy stays feeble. Regardless of what number of many trillions of yen Japan has tossed at reviving its economy in the course of the last two or more decades, the thing lays on the gurney such as a mind dead mishap casualty, with every one of the relatives assembled around and imploring a divine being who's attempting to tell the Japanese, "Your remedy for survival is imbecilic!"

Which is precisely what's occurring in America on somewhat of a slack.

Why do I say "another domino down"?

Since we've seen a great deal of dominos fall as of late, and they all uncover one progressively clear likelihood: The Federal Reserve can't - and won't - raise financing costs. Truly, I am coming around to the perspective that we won't not see another financing cost increment in America for an era.

The European Central Bank is swearing to open up the conduits and pour each euro it can print into the economy. China is intentionally deteriorating the yuan to balance U.S. dollar quality that has undermined the Chinese economy. The economy here in America - notwithstanding the lies of Obama and his financial twist specialists, and also Wall Street blockheads who are either visually impaired or doltish or both - is dashing toward subsidence. The assembling economy is contracting.

Vocation increases are moderating, and the occupations made are generally poo. Business notion stinks. Verifiably high corporate benefits are getting squeezed. The dollar is much excessively solid for exporters, who are reporting ghastly numbers.

What's more, in this world the Fed has the nerve to recommend more rate climbs are in the offing?

Ha! (In any case, that is simply because I can't revile here!)

Raising rates would:

Push the dollar up significantly more in respect to the euro, the yen and the yuan, smashing U.S. exporters and making imports such a great amount of less expensive here at home that U.S. organizations battle to offer their items in their home business sector.

Push GDP development down even lower... what's more, GDP development, as we found in the exceedingly feeble final quarter, is no sparkling star.

What we're taking a gander at is Japan - American style.

We're taking a gander at an arrival to declining loan fees and, very likely, a move into negative rates here at home - an idea that those at the most elevated amounts of the Federal Reserve are notwithstanding discussing.

There is basically no chance America can resist a worldwide pattern when three of the other four biggest economies on the planet are driving down rates and driving down the estimation of their money. The U.S. likes to go only it on a ton of things, however it will never get by as an island in this specific monetary sea.

The U.S. at last will need to make a move with alternate children, regardless of the fact that wouldn't like to. It will need to move toward negative rates or hazard the dollar getting so solid that the quality, humorously, debilitates America.

The Plan Failed

In scholastic and national bank hypothesis, negative rates will compel banks to get money out the entryway and under the control of borrowers. Also, in principle, it will compel purchasers to haul cash out of the bank and accomplish something else with the cash - to be specific, contribute it or spend it.

Obviously, the crevice between scholastic hypothesis and financial the truth is all the time measured in galactic separations.

On the off chance that the financial speculations that national banks are working with nowadays were of any genuine quality, all the past flighty money related measures, for example, quantitative facilitating and loan fees close to zero would have as of now forestalled the requirement for negative rates.

But... here we are.

Something has fizzled.

It has fizzled at a national bank level... furthermore, all the more significantly, it has principally fizzled at a Western legislative level. Governments have amassed a lot of obligation, subsidizing an excess of unfortunately costly sops to the super-rich, to partnerships needing uncommon treatment, to retirees whose earnings ought to nullify their entrance to Social Security and professionally prescribed medication scope, to the languid willing to subsist on government gifts as opposed to working in an occupation underneath their gathered station in life, to a bureaucratic logic of unreasonable regulations over all organizations that deny America of important occupations on the grounds that the expense of utilizing somebody is too high.

The rundown of transgressions and transgressors is long.

The arrangement, as I say over and over, is physical gold.

My Beef With Online E-Mini Futures Day Trading Rooms forex

My Beef With Online E-Mini Futures Day Trading Rooms forex

I have a problem with a large number of these rooms. There might be a couple that would meet my principles of uprightness, yet I am not going to name them here. That is not the purpose of this article, at any rate. 

What's dismal furthermore telling, I am anxious, is that my principles are not all that high. I would call them sensible, yet not high. Such measures ought to be an ordinary, however they are most certainly not. 

Give me a chance to name three fundamental issues, three primary bones of conflict I have with the online e-smaller than usual fates day exchanging rooms, to be particular, and to demonstrat to you that I am truly not expecting that much from these exchanging rooms. Still, even my essential desires are routinely not met. 

1. The reputation. 

The exchanging results must be followed and archived. Numerous exchanging stages take into account that. NinjaTrader that numerous exchanging room administrators use, is one of such stages. You can likewise basically take screenshots of every one of your exchanges recorded by your stage on a given day if you're exchanging stage does not permit to track them over a more drawn out timeframe. Still, I trust it regards demonstrate an exchanging record for every day independently. 

Despite the fact that that appears like a simple thing to do, a considerable lot of the exchanging room administrators decline to give an appropriate reputation (as recorded by the exchanging stages) and rather create their own particular rundown of exchanges with results that can't be affirmed in any capacity. This is unquestionably not a right approach to take and might recommend that an imaginative bookkeeping is occurring or room is left for it in the event that something goes wrong. So, this can't be trusted. 

2. The absence of straightforwardness. 

That incorporates what the reason for the room is, what's in store from it and how it is worked (specifically, whether the room administrator is taking live exchanges or mimicked). 

There is nothing amiss with mimicked exchanges. They don't nullify the exchanging room's methodology pretty much as the genuine exchanges don't promise that each individual from it will profit regardless of the fact that the room administrator figures out how to do as such. There are different circumstances that decide how well you will really do taking after the room's calls and it's vital to remember them. They ought to likewise be spelled out for each potential room member before their agreeing to it. 

It is not phenomenal for the beginners and wannabe dealers to surmise that paying for the exchanging room qualifies them for the same sections and exits as those of the room administrator. Senseless as that might sound, you may now and then discover voices to this impact and comparative desires on exchanging discussions, particularly those that "provide food" to the fledglings (the right verb is truly "trick"). That is regularly not sensible, even in the reproduction mode. 

Shockingly, these things are frequently ignored, however rather a trial might be advertised. Any such a trial is exceptionally welcome, free or something else, however just notwithstanding the significant data appropriately uncovered in the composed structure. Something else, such a trial frequently winds up being simply a showcasing occasion with the forthcoming individuals being taken a shot at by the room administrators whose genuine abilities are regularly in advertising and not in exchanging. 

The reason for a considerable lot of such rooms is frequently expressed as instructive but a significant number of them intimate that you can profit taking after the room calls, which should legitimize the month to month expenses of $300 or more. Plainly, you can't expect anybody of sound personality to pay that much for an insignificant instructive room, but the rooms that charge that much are not as a matter of course extremely inevitable with the best possible reputation. As it were, what we have here is regularly a circumstance where the room proprietors conceal the absence of legitimate bookkeeping behind the reason of working an instructive room, but then charge for it as though the room were expected to profit. 

You can't have it both ways! Decide, for God's sakes. In the event that you run an instructive room, you don't need to claim any benefits and you don't need to be worried about the reputation, yet in the event that you demands guaranteeing them or notwithstanding implying such a probability, this must be done in an appropriate way, with a legitimate reputation gave, in a perfect world professionally inspected as well. 

3. Questionable promoting hones. 

This is identified with the past point in that avoiding the right revelation by the room proprietors empowers them to depict the room as something it is not, but rather you will locate this out strictly when a closer investigation, squandering the time you would not be squandering on the off chance that you.
