On what you should stop to trade with profit?
Yesterday I spoke with my friend who speculates at Forex. I’ve asked him give me several good advices that I can follow.
In this post I have made attempt to generalize his numerous answers in this occasion. At once I wish to make a reservation, that if someone will consider necessary to criticize or argue, it will be only welcomed.
So, let’s move under the order:
1. A choice of strategy.
It will be not necessary to be scattered on studying of all techniques which come across to you, and after acquaintance with several techniques stop only on one and study it as it is possible more in detail.
Yes, for the beginning it is necessary to master only one technique, one reception and if it to turn out, the success in your trade will take place.
Ultimate goal of our stay in the market is reception of profits, instead of research of various strategies 
To be defined, what to choose for the beginning happens difficultly enough, therefore choose, that is better clearly and simply in recurrence (realization).
Is better, for the beginning to use strategy of following for trend - they are more simple and are clear in realization.
2. It is necessary to learn to wait.
In trade we not always realize it with our initially limited arsenal of receptions and we aspire at convenient, inconvenient in general any case to hold a position, in hope to receive profits. The real greater movements in the market happens not so much here again first of all certainly it is necessary to catch them, then to receive profits. And if you have received profit it is necessary not to lose it. For this purpose it is necessary to choose the successful moment, i.e. easy and not hurrying up to define the situation in which you can apply your strategy and only after that to enter into the market.
Needless to say that such moments can take place not every day and consequently probably most difficult it patiently to wait.
3. It is necessary never to catch up with a situation.
It happens that you see on the monitor, that the market has moved without you. It is insulting and annoyingly, for non-realized opportunities. But here is better to have patience and wait a following opportunity. Otherwise you risk joining movement on its most peaks, to receive recoil and accordingly losses.
4. Now about losses.
With them it is necessary to be defined at once, i.e. to define which stop-loss you expose at once at opening a position.
You begin a demo-account with that sum with which will start to work in real. Do not take a great interest in greater stops, find “golden mean”. Too small stops will work is more often, and too it will be more difficult to compensate greater, in the general result and on another it is possible to lose the deposit. Therefore stops should be in each case should be proved.
The attitude to losses if they have been planned should not be negative, is better to perceive it as the next occasion for reflections and improvements of the methods.
5. Be especially intent after greater successes.
More often after the big success greater mistakes turn out very often. The trader tries to repeat the success - but the situation any more has no, all is mistaken, tries to recoup quickly… in general successes are brought to nothing, and is even worse if to losses. If feel uncertainty after the received big profit, wait this moment is better. Emotions overflow you, and in trade they only stir.
6. When you in the beginning of a way never count on money received on Forex - nothing to turn out.
In this case it is additional emotional loading which will prevent to make only correct trading decisions. It is necessary to be very much and very quiet trading on the market, for example as a boa. Therefore firstly you should have an additional source of earnings on which you can eat and drink, and also periodically fill up the deposit - yet do not learn
7. Rest.
Rest is an integral part of activity of the trader, especially on becoming. If you consider that it only in vain spent time, it not so. By the experience my friend can tell that many interesting and serious decisions to him came just at that time when he had a rest - on holidays, in the country, on the journey, etc., or after rest, i.e. ‘with a clear head’. Therefore rest as well as work is necessary for planning, too.
8. The attitude.
Think about trade as a serious work, as well as in any work where application of special knowledge is required. First of all it is necessary to seize this knowledge. Receive special skills and only after that start to work. Do not transform the activity on Forex into hazardous entertainment
