In Australia Forex trading, it seems that traders today are not better off compared to traders 50 years ago. Today traders are not only tilted to traditional or physical currency trading but its online currency trading. I still remember when i was purchasing different currencies and putting them in my house safe for profit margin and this all time , i was afraid to not being theft. Now, you cannot imagine to go for this sort of currency trading and most of Aussie are really speeding up in online currency or simply forex trading on their mobiles. lol .Losing consistently is still very common among traders. This is despite all the advances we have seen in the Forex trading arena and the reason the same the same number lose, is because they fail to get into the right mindset to success in Forex trading.
Currency trading in Australia, just like other types of investments, include a certain deal of psychology. While there are a lot of things you need to consider when trading Forex, there’s no good reason to exclude the psychology aspect at all. Forex trading psychology is equally or even more important because when you trade Forex, you have to adapt a certain kind of mindset that is not common in everyday life.
In a perfect world, traders can follow their emotions, trading whenever they feel like it – and realizing profits from it. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world and traders who trade according to their emotions lose money at the end. There are two emotions in particular that have been the source of devastation for Forex traders over the years namely fear and greed. When the market is moving against a trader, he feels fearful and closes his position prematurely. In the same way, when the market is moving upwards, he tends to feel greedy and continue making trades, even increasing his leverage mindlessly.
Beating Your Emotions
Never letting emotions occupy you while you trade is something that any trader should master and this is indeed a great step towards being a successful trader. The best way to beat or at least minimize your emotions is by making a detailed trading plan and sticking to it. Your trading plan should include a complete entry exit, stop loss and take profit orders. Also, make sure your rules are clearly written and take some time to back test your plan before using it with a live trading account.
A good strategy to keep in mind is to not try to make up for losses immediately. Think about long term goals. Know how much you are looking to make and when to add more funds.
Overall, remember that Forex trading involves working smart and adding more to your knowledge. While the sophisticated tools and trading systems we have today are helpful, nothing will help you become a successful trader more than having the right attitude and mindset.
