How Not To Exit A Forex Trade

Too many times I hear about new traders opening a trade using the 5-minute chart (not my favorite approach) and when the market moves against them, they move to the 15-minute chart to justify staying in a little longer, hoping that the market will turn around.

Then if the market continues to move against them, they move out to the hourly chart to look for a reason to stay in the trade. As the market continues to move against them, they shift to the daily chart to hope to find a reason to stay in the trade. The next step is to get a margin call because they have no funds left to maintain their position.

Of course, the main issue here is that they were looking for a way to stay in a losing trade rather than closing it out at a small loss. Taking a loss does not mean that you do not know what you are doing. Too many new traders think that losing a trade means that they are losers or that they aren't smart enough to trade. Nothing could be further from the truth though.

Professional traders understand that if they trade, they will have losing trades. That is really the only guarantee in the field of speculation. How you handle those losing trades has as much to do with your success as a trader as any other factor. You don't have to like losing, but you must accept the fact that all trades cannot be winning trades. You have to keep those losing trades small enough to be able to make up for them with your winning trades.

Switching time frames to justify staying in a trade is not how you keep your losses small. Identify your exit point before you get into the trade and stick to it. Judge yourself from month to month rather than on every pip move in the market. Be consistent in your approach and stay in one time frame from the beginning of the trade to the end of the trade.

Earning Money From Forex

Aside from the salary people get from their jobs, many people invest in other money making opportunities to augment their earnings. Investing will diversify your portfolio and provide you the realization of a dream of making it big. Providing for yourself and your family the luxuries everyone dreams of is the goal that many people want to achieve. People take risks every time, getting the big house and the flashy sports car or getting your kids to college are aspirations that are worth taking the risks for. While there are many endeavors we can invest in, the forex is a worthy venture, sure the risks are high, but the payoffs are higher.

In a nutshell, forex stands for foreign exchange. In the Forex market, currencies or money from different countries are bought and sold every day. The goal is to make profit; profit comes from the fluctuation of the values of each countries currency. The global market dictates the value of each currency, among others, the demand for the domestic supply of goods and services alongside international trade influences the rising or lowering of the value of their currency. Forex generally is the selling of one currency and the buying of another. It is the largest and most liquid market in the world, with a daily volume of 1.4 trillion dollars.

With a market that big, the forex is dominated and controlled by large financial capability institutions and organizations. Usually it is the large international banks that do business with the forex market. Do not be surprised if you hear about single transactions that could amount to about half a billion dollars. Here, currencies are exchanged daily, when exchanged it is all the time in pairs. One is regarded as the base currency, where in the second currency are based on. Usually the American dollar is used as the base currency except for the Euro, British pound and the Australian dollar.

When the quoted currency moves higher it means that the base currency has gained in its value and vice versa. The base currency is always one; it is the quoted currency that fluctuates. For example, a quote for a British pound would look like: Pound/Dollar 2.135, which means that a British pound is worth 2.135 dollars. If you think that the base currency is going to rise in value, buy the quoted currency beforehand and sell them off when the value of the base currency drops and vice versa as well.
