Copy The Successful Forex Traders

By Jimmy Villaruel

Why does one Forex traders succeed and another fail? What sets the winners apart from the losers? Well, you won`t be surprised to know that there are certain characteristics that all successful Forex traders share. While many investors take actions that aren`t in their best self interest, such as making trading based on emotions, rather than on logic, or holding on to a losing position so they won`t have to admit they made a bad trade, successful Forex traders don`t do these things. But there are some actions that they take regularly, so regularly that they become habits. Learning about these characteristics and habits will help make you into a successful trader as well.

Successful Forex traders are goal oriented. Setting a clear goal helps you to perform your best. There are three qualities to a clear goal. It must be realistic. You may want to double your money every day but it is hardly realistic. When you set an unrealistic goal it can undermine your confidence because you just set yourself up to fail. Your goal must also be attainable. Not only must your goal be realistic, it must also be within your abilities to achieve. The best way to set goals is to start with short term goals. Start with small ones that are fairly easy to achieve and continue to grow your goals as you gain confidence and greater abilities.

The third aspect of a good goal is measurability. If your goal is not specific and cannot be measured, it really isn't a true goal. If your only goal is to be wealthy it is too unfocused. Define your idea of wealth in specific numbers. As your wealth grows, so will the numbers that represent your idea of wealth. If you cannot define your goal and cannot measure it, then you have no way to determine how close you are to achieving it. It makes it impossible to change your strategies to help you meet your goals. Learn how to set goals like successful Forex traders who set highly specific goals and then go after them with confidence. Confidence is important to keeping you rational and disciplined when it comes to investment trading. When you start with small achievable goals, it helps you build much needed confidence.

Successful Forex traders also use skill and logic when making trading decisions. They study Forex, learn all they can, and then apply that knowledge to make intelligent choices when it comes time to trade. They don't obsess over missing the next big thing. Instead, they focus on making good solid trades. A common mistake many beginner Forex traders make is jumping on trades because they feel like it is just too good to miss out on. Trading based upon emotion or hunches is more like gambling rather than investing. Everyone involved in trading is familiar with that feeling of elation when they make a trade based solely upon desire and hunches. However, the most successful Forex traders do not give in to these emotions. They approach investing in a logical manner and remain disciplined.

While these Forex traders know their market, it`s simply not possible to understand and stay in touch with everything that occurs in all the types of investment vehicles and markets across the world. While some Forex traders have developed systems that allow them to trade in multiple venues, for instance, in different stock markets around the world, most Forex traders specialize in a particular type of investment, and in a particular market. If you enjoy trading in commodities futures, that enjoyment will help you to focus and stay in touch with events in the commodities futures market.

If you aren`t interested in currency trading, don`t trade in it. Your lack of knowledge and motivation will cause you to lose focus and make mistakes. Successful Forex traders tend to specialize; they pick an area to study and they follow it closely, learning from past trends and patterns, and from their own trades. If you`re a beginning trader, I recommend focusing on one investment vehicle and it`s market. Learn all you can, about the market and about yourself, before you move into other investment types.

If you are a total beginner or a more seasoned trader, you can be successful with Forex trading. You don't need significant start up capital or years of investing experience. However, you do need discipline, focus, and rational thinking. If you do not possess those qualities, you will probably wind up being a Forex loser rather than a Forex winner. Successful Forex traders were beginners once too. They took a disciplined approach and learned from their mistakes and developed a personal style and system for making their trades. Successful traders don't have secret strategies because the strategy is the same for every investor - make logical, focused, and disciplined trades and you will achieve success. - 23223
