Forex Tips You Must Bear In Mind

I have been receiving emails from the readers of my newsletter asking me for forex tips that can help them to become more successful in their trading. Therefore I decided to write a blog post on the some of the forex tips you must bear in mind to become successful in trading.

Here are some of the forex tips you must know:

1) Setup Your Forex Trading Plan: If you have been reading my blog post, you will find that I have been emphasizing on the importance of having your very own trading plan. Without a plan, you are similar to walking with your eyes closed and it is very hard for you to reach you destination which is trading currency for a living.

2) Understand The Trend: The most profitable trading methods are those that trade with the trend and not against the trend. Therefore it is important for you to find out the current market trend and long term trend from the higher time frame.

3) Optimum Buy Sell Timing: Once you have the trend on hand, you should be looking for opportunity to enter your trades. Here are my favourite entry methods, BUY the dips in an uptrend and SELL the rally in a downtrend.

4) Obey The Trend Line: The trend lines are areas of support and resistance that all traders must be aware of. In fact, I strongly recommend you to enter a trade only when the trend line has been breached as it is a sign of confirmation for a particular trading plan.

5) Let Your Profit Run: This is one of the most common mistakes that most traders are committing in their trading. You should always cut short your loss if you find yourself in the wrong side of the trade and not keep on adjusting your stop loss hoping the price will move back in your favour. You should also allow your profit to run further instead of exiting them to avoid the price from moving back taking out your profit.

6) Keep a Forex Journal: This is another important thing that you must bear in mind if you want to be able to trade forex for a living. Keeping a forex journal can improve your trading skill as it can remind you of mistakes that you have made in your previous trade.

7) Always Use Certain Percentage of Your Profit: If you are able to make enough profit to make a living from trading forex, you should be careful about your money management. Never take out more than 50% of your profit as your daily expenses as you should be accumulating your capital to trade bigger lots in future.
