In order to become a successful Forex trader, you require a lot more than a few quick tips
and tricks. You will need capital, experience, fortitude and, above all, a hearty trading system. However, if you are a beginner, the following tips will help you to get started successfully in Forex trading.
Tip 1: You should be fully aware of the power of a position. Never arrive at a market judgment while you have a position.
Tip 2: Ascertain a stop and a profit objective before you enter a trade. Place stops based on market info, and not your account balance. If a ‘proper“ stop is too costly, it isn‘t worth it to go ahead with the trade.
Tip 3 - Remember not to add to a position that is losing.
Tip 4 - Trading systems that work efficiently in an up market need not work in a down market. Always keep this, in mind.
Tip 5 - If you decide to exit a trade that means you are capable of perceiving changing circumstances. Never think you can pick a price, exit at the market. Tip 6 - Sometimes, due to excessive volatility or lack of liquidity you should keep yourself away from trading.
Tip 7 - In a Bull market you should never sell a dull market and in a Bear market you should never buy a dull market.
Tip 8 - Always remember that news is only important when the market doesn‘t react in the direction of the news.
Tip 9 - Sell the factual news and buy the news that you hear.
Tip 10 - Superstition is good in the sense that you shouldn‘t trade if something bothers you.
Tip 11 - Up trending, range bound and down trading are three types of markets and you
should have a different trading scheme for each of them.
Tip 12 - Risk managers commonly issue margin call position liquidation orders during the blowout stage of the market, up or down. They don‘t usually check the screen for overbought or oversold, They just issue liquidation orders. Make sure that you don‘t stand in the way.
Tip 13 - Up market and down market patterns always exist. lt is only that one is always more dominant than the other. In an up market, it is very easy to take sell signal after sell signal, only to be stopped time and again. Only select trades that move along with the trend.
Tip 14 - lt is very easy to enter a losing trade.
Tip 15 - A buy signal that fails is in fact just a sell signal and a seIl signal that fails is a buy signal.
Tip 16 - When everyone else is in, time is up for you to get out.
Tip 17 - Never enter a new trade in the direction of a gap and never let the market make you make a trade.
Tip 18 - lt helps for you to read the previous day‘s paper each day to get an idea of what the market already did. lt will definitely remind you that what happened yesterday has nothing to do with what will happen today.
Tip 19 - Always get in late and out early because the first and last ticks are always the most expensive.
Tip 20 - Scalpers bring down the number of variables effecting market risk by being in a
position that lasts only a few seconds and day traders keep down market risk by being in
trades for minutes.
Tip 21 - Try to measure yourself by profitable successive days and not by individual trades.
Tip 22 - Never trade while you are sick.
Tip 23 - You should not turn four losing trades in a row into eight in a row. Turn off the screen when you‘re off and do something else. Sticking in while you are loosing is a silly thing.

Tip 24 - Never change your unit of trading unless under a plan of attained goals. lt helps to have a plan for lessening size when your trading is cold or market volume is down.
Tip 25 - Sometimes, confidence is a very bad thing. Keep in mind that you really don‘t know anything unless you are a broker. Always expect the unexpected and know your position and exit your trade at once whenever you feel uneasy.
Tip 26 - The easiest way to break a streak of consecutive loses is keep away from trade for a day.
Tip 27 - Never stop trading when you‘re on a winning streak.
Tip 28 - Flexibility is an essential element of successful day trading. You should do your homework so as to understand the full potential for both sides of the market. This will enable you to make your trades on the basis of what the market is doing at the time of the trade.
Tip 29 - When the market goes up, you should say it aloud and when the market goes down, you want to say that aloud too. This way you will find how hard it is to say what is literally going on in front of you while your mind is full of preconceived notions.
Tip 30 - Never worry about a missed chance. There is always another one waiting for you.
Tip 31 - If you convert a scalp or day trade into a position trade that means you did not take in to account the risks involved in the trade properly.
Tip 32 - There is no meaning in looking for secrets in the market. You will only find matters that no one cares about.
Tip 33 - Asking for someone else‘s opinion is not advisable because they probably did not do as much homework as you did.
Tip 34 - Have you whined or got fidgety while reading this list? If your answer is “yes“, you have two apparent characteristics that you share with many other traders:
A. You have traded long enough to understand that it is YOU who make mistakes, and you try to overcome them.
B. You have become a part of the market and you can never leave lt. You will always check the market and always want to continue being a part of lt.
You need to trade with the trend in the case of small accounts ($ 25,000 and under). Many newcomers look for trades that flow in any direction. Although Forex trading permits bidirectional trading, trading with the trend improves your chances in the long run.
lt is better to have at least two accounts, .i.e. one real account and the other a demo account. Do not stop learning even after trading real dollars begins. Continue the demo account and utilize it to test any alternative trades etc. You can shadow your real trades with identical ones in your demo account, but you have to widen your stops in the demo in an attempt to see whether you are being too conservative.
Since there are no leading indicators you have to stop looking for them. Many firms are minting money by selling software that predicts the future. But if those products really worked, they wouldn‘t be telling you about it.
lt is good to examine daily charts because they assist you in timing your trades. Use the four- hour charts or one-hour charts that are available. When you are trading at 30- and 15- minute time increments, it takes a lot of dexterity.
Never trade the time frame that is offered and trade the pattern instead. Hesitation patterns, breakout patterns and reversal patterns show up a lot. Train yourself to look for the pattern in any time frame. If you have sufficient money, trading two lots is safer than trading only one and trading three is safer than two etc. Technical analysis, money management and emotions play their roles a great deal in trading. One lot alone is not sufficient to determine these elements for deciding to enter or exit. Extreme trading is most conservative trading when you think about lt. Trading at the extremes increases the chances that you have chosen the right way.
Thoroughly check the Big Five the euro/dollar, pound/dollar, dollar/yen, Swiss franc/dollar and euro/yen before deciding on taking a position in any one of them. There might be something apparent that you‘ve missed. Adopt the Upside Down Rule. Suppose you can turn a chart upside down and it still looks the same, avoid it all at once.
Never keep count of your profits in your first 20 trades. Consider the percentage of wins instead. Once you learn to pick direction, profits can be enhanced by using variations in your stops and by means of multi-plot trading. This is the right time to get serious about your personal money management.
