Some people says that one of the best method to make money online is by trading the Forex market. So as a complete beginner, I decided to start making a research about this field of industry and found a lot of interesting things about it. You can actually make money trading Forex by exchanging different currencies provided that you know what you're doing.
As I started learning Forex trading for beginners, I came to realize the complexity involved of Forex trading. It is not a matter of just "buying" or "selling". There's a lot of factors involve where experts says, it affects the trader both mentally and emotionally.
Here are the following important and specific factors that affects most traders especially the beginners:
1. Patience
Patience is under the emotional category. If you are an impatient individual then Forex trading is not for you. It's best that you should avoid Forex at this early stage or you will most likely just lost your money.
When trading Forex, you really have to wait for the perfect opportunity to either enter or exit your trades and this requires some patience. Since most complete beginners lack knowledge, they often freak out and lost their patience to make the wrong hasty decision.
2. Strategy
Every Forex trader needs to have their own strategy. When it comes to beginners, their common mistake is that they tend to deviate from their own strategy especially when they read from somewhere else that the market trend will go to a certain opposite direction opposed to the speculation of their strategy. A good trader should always stick to his strategy. If things went wrong then he needs to analyze what went wrong and make some necessary adjustments.
3. Comfort
There are many different ways on how to trade the Forex market. Some of them can be very exhausting where you need to stick your face in front of your PC screen throughout your trading period. Others will only check their trades at least once or twice a day. But what really matters is that, you are comfortable with your trading style.
Most beginners actually gave up trading Forex because they are not comfortable with their chosen style of trading.
4. Broker
The majority of brokers out there are actually there to scam you. Instead of helping their traders, they wanted you to lose your invested capital. Beginners often fall prey into these kind of brokers because of their limited knowledge about choosing the right and legit Forex broker to use.
Moreover, if you are a complete beginner just like me, most professional Forex traders' best advice is to practice on a demo account for at least six months period. Throughout this six month period of demo trading, you must be profitable. Otherwise, you will have to extend your demo training period.
