You can spend weeks to earn money and to lose this money for a few minutes. And this situation happens again and again, actually most every trader has ever had such situation. That’s why every trader must realize this possibility and to be prepared to reverse the game. Reasonable oversights and logical conclusions will let you to find answers on all questions.
But let’s try to consider the question “what is the difference between a successful trader and a failure?”
There are some oversights and conclusions below.
An oversight number 1.
The biggest number of failures is in the group of short-term traders. Short time terms is not the main reason, but the main reason is because many of those traders do not have good training and considered plan of the game. Trading on the Forex market doesn’t forgive any mistakes, its manipulations are highly risky, so losses that are caused by the lack of knowledge and training increase repeatedly. Besides, those traders do not have enough capital very often. Successful traders usually trade in medium-term and long-term time periods.
The conclusion:
From the statistical point of view trading in medium-term and long-term time period gives more possibilities to get success. The same can be said about capitalization. The larger the initial capital is the larger your possible profit is.
An oversight number 2.
Traders-failures often use complicate systems and methodology and rely on recommendations of guru and “black cases”. Successful traders use simple techniques. They all either use modified versions of the existing techniques or systems created by their own.
The conclusion:
There is a wrong opinion that “complicate” means “better”. But this is not true by all means. It can be approved logically that more simple techniques are more practical and less subjected to false interpretations. Actually there is no a great importance if the technique “simple” or “complicate”. The most important if you can make money using this system or you can not. Here you can make a conclusion that your own minds and analysis play the most important role in the trading process. This can explain the fact why traders who have such qualities like persistence and patience are often much more successful than well educated intellectuals or even genii.
An oversight number 3.
Traders-failures often rely on computer systems and indicators. They do not spend time for learning the mathematical basis of these systems and usually consider “pop” variant of using the systems. Successful traders understand the advantages of using computer systems such like the possibility to analyze fast a large amount of data and many markets. But at the same time they often draw graphics on paper using such old fashioned tools like a pen, a protractor and a calculator. They try to learn mathematical principles of the average and oscillators and can draw them by their own without computers. They understand the mechanism of the market in all details.
The conclusion:
If you want to become successful in any business you need to understand principles of functioning of all mechanisms included to this business.
