Trading is not (and will never be) about making a lot of
money in a short period of time. It takes time for an account to grow.
Most traders starting out have this notion that Forex
trading is about making money quickly. WRONG! And trust me on this, either
understand that concept well or don't trade at all.
Many people are impatient - they want to see great results
and fast. Well, you have the casino for that... no need to waste your time in
the Forex market.
Do you know what the traders BIGGEST enemy is? The anser is: GREED
I learned that the hard way (as probably 1000's of other
traders have). Don't be greedy. Be smarter than 99% of those out there. Don't
go over the top. Trade a good system, place small bets and be PATIENT. It will
pay off.
Learn to control your greed - it is one of THE most
important characteristics for achieving huge wealth. Take controlled risks,
never let your greed take over your decision process.
You must understand that every Forex Trader has bad times
and good times. Be ready to treat the bad times just as you would treat the
good times.
A losing trade will happen at some point in time. Be it
tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or 8 years from now. It doesn't
matter, it will come.
Your job as a trader is to treat that loss with the same respect
you treated the winners. Your job as a trader is to be able to manage your
money properly so that when that inevitable loss does come, you will stay in
the game and recuperate... not jump around to find another “solution” so to
speak.
And talking about money management: If There Exists One Holy
Grail In Trading, It Is
Money Management.
No matter how you look at it, from whichever angle, with
whichever glasses... the KEY to long term wealth building is incorporating
correct money management rules into your trading.
The markets are unpredictable, that’s a fact. We can never
ever know what will happen tomorrow. We can only know what has happened in the
past and base our future decisions accordingly. But that is in no way foolproof
- I probably don't even have to mention it but I did just in case this is a new
concept to you.
The bottom line in trading is to be able to grow your
account, little by little, but constantly.
