Here
are your ten trading tips for bigger FX profits.
Don't
Use Cheap Forex Robots
This
is a major error made by a huge number of traders, they buy a cheap
automated Forex trading system and think there going to make huge
gains with low drawdown. These cheap robots however all lose money
and should be avoided
Be
Patient
Most
traders trade to much but its a fact you can make triple digit gains
trading just a few times a month. Remember – you are not trading
for fun, your trading to make money and that means waiting for high
odds set ups and not forcing trades.
Do
Uncomfortable Trades
The
More people who disagree with your trade the better – if there
appears to be no reason for a big price break it's probably going to
be a good one if your currency trading strategy tells you to do it.
Winning traders are ones that act when the vast majority don't and if
you feel un comfortable, don't worry, it means there could be big
profits ahead.
Place
Your Stop Behind the Herd
The
fact is most traders place their stops to close and have them inside
normal volatility. If you want to win you need to place your stop
further back and while this sounds more risky it isn't. You have to
take a risk to make a reward and by placing your stop further back,
you increase the odds of success.
Use
Low Leverage
The
reason most traders have stops to close is – they trade with to
much leverage. Many brokers were give you 500:1 in leverage terms but
you shouldn't use it. Over leverage wipes out more accounts than any
other single reason and 10:1 is plenty of leverage for most traders
to use.
Follow
Long Term Trends
Most
traders like to scalp and day trade and they end up taking low odds
trades and lose. The big money is made by trading long term trends
and holding them. If you are a long term trend follower you will make
bigger profits with less risk.
Trade
Cross Rates
Cross
rates have less speculative interest than the majors and due to this
trends can be better and volatility can be less – so trade cross
rates to increase the risk to reward of your currency trading
strategy.
Use
Time as Well as Money Stops
You
can use a money stop but time stops can also be useful, if a trade
doesn't move the way you think within a specified period of time,
chances are it will recoil back on you so – if a move doesn't
follow through or go as you thought, a time stop can prevent losses.
Don't
Trade Until You Have Confirmation
Most
traders like to buy into support or sell into resistance but this is
really hoping and guessing instead, wait for the level to hold first,
before executing your trading signal. You may miss the exact turn
but you can't predict that anyway - so don't try. Keep the odds on your
side and wait for a confirmation before executing your trading
signal.
Trade
With Discipline
You
have heard how important discipline is and its true – if you can't
cut losses and follow your currency trading strategy rules, you don't
have a trading strategy at all! Keep your emotions out of your
trading and stay disciplined at all times.
Final
Words
The
above currency trading tips are easy to apply and follow and
remember, if you want to join the elite minority of traders do what
the majority don't do and you will make bigger currency trading
profits.
