It's possible to trade profitably on the Forex, the nearly $2 trillion worldwide currency exchange market. But the odds are against you, even more so if you don't prepare and plan your trades. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, several analyses of retail Forex trading, including one by the National Futures Association (NFA), the industry's regulatory body, concluded that more than two out of three Forex traders lose money.
This suggests that self-education and caution are recommended. Here are some approaches that may improve your odds of taking a profit.
Prepare Before You Begin Trading
Because the Forex market is highly leveraged -- as much as 50 to 1 -- it can have the same appeal as buying a lottery ticket: some small chance of making a killing. This, however, isn't trading; it's gambling, with the odds long against you.
A better way of entering the Forex market is to carefully prepare. Beginning with a practice account is helpful and risk-free. While you're trading in your practice account, read the most frequently recommended Forex trading books, among them
Currency Forecasting: A Guide to Fundamental and Technical Models of Exchange Rate Determination, by Michael R. Rosenberg is short, not too sweet and highly admired introduction to the Forex market.
Forex Strategies: Best Forex Strategies for High Profits and Reduced Risk, by Matthew Maybury is an excellent introduction to Forex trading.
The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex, by Kathy Lien is another concise introduction that has stood the test of time.
All three are available on Amazon. Rosenberg's book, unfortunately, is pricey, but it's widely available in public libraries. "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude," by Mark Douglas is another good book that's available on Amazon, and, again, somewhat pricey, although the Kindle edition is not.
Use the information gained from your reading to plan your trades before plunging in. The more you change your plan, the more you end up in trouble and the less likely that elusive forex profit will end up in your pocket.
Diversify and Limit Your Risks
Two strategies that belong in every trader's arsenal are:
Diversification: Traders who execute many small traders, particularly in different markets where the correlation between markets is low, have a better chance of making a profit. Putting all your money in one big trade is always a bad idea.
Familiarize yourself with ways guaranteeing a profit on an already profitable order, such as a trailing stop, and of limiting losses using stop and limit orders. These strategies and more are covered in the recommended books. Novice traders often make the mistake of concentrating on how to win; it's even more important to understand how to limit your losses.
Be Patient
Forex traders, particularly beginners, are prone to getting nervous if a trade does not go their way immediately, or if the trade goes into a little profit they get itchy to pull the plug and walk away with a small profit that could have been a significant profit with little downside risk using appropriate risk reduction strategies.
In "On Any Given Sunday," Al Pacino reminds us that "football is a game of inches." That's a winning attitude in the Forex market as well. Remember that you are going to win some trades and lose others. Take satisfaction in the accumulation of a few more wins than losses. Over time, that could make you rich!
CHOCOLATE 3 INGREDIENT PANCAKES
All you need is three ingredients and a few minutes and you’ve got yourself a batch of delicious Chocolate 3 Ingredient Pancakes! Gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and paleo.
Valentine’s Day may be over but that in no way means that so is my love for all things chocolate.
Prepare yourselves, friends – I’ve got some yummy stuff headed your way this week 🙂
Up first though are these crazy simple yet incredibly delicious Chocolate 3 Ingredient Pancakes. You’ve heard of the 3 ingredient pancakes, right? What? You haven’t? Well then, let me introduce you to your newest favorite recipe 😉
I’ve been on a sort of pancake kick lately. First there were those incredibly fluffy Paleo Blueberry Pancakes. Then I re-fell in love with the Cake Batter Pancakes that I made last year. And now these Chocolate 3 Ingredient Pancakes pretty much own my soul.
For someone who typically prefers waffles, I sure am eating a ton of pancakes!
But when there is literally just a few ingredients needed, can you blame me? Also – chocolate. Enough said.
And friends, it was love at first bite.
I now make these pancakes a few times a week – sometimes to eat after a workout and sometimes to eat before one. They are super simple to toss together, free of any and all grains and gluten, contain no dairy and require one bowl and less than 10 minutes.
Oh and they’re chocolate. I guess I should’ve led with that 😉
