How To Lose Money Trading Forex



There are many ways to lose all your money in the Forex markets. Many traders are already very good at this already and do it on a daily basis. They do everything from overleveraging to overtrading. For those of you that want to be like them, read on and you will be losing money in no time!

One of the best ways to lose money is not having a planned and tested methodology to trading Forex. Just jump into your first real money trade from the first week that you learn about Forex! It's guaranteed to drain your account. Now you might get unlucky and have a few winning trades at first, but don't worry. Just make sure not to learn anything about the markets and how they work and just keep jumping in and out of trades.

Another guaranteed account killer is overleveraging. You can leverage up to 50 to 1 with Forex in the US. Do you realize what this means? You can deposit $1,000 and control $50,000 in the market! It just takes a few pips with this kind of leverage to ruin your account. So just go ahead and enter a trade with 50 to 1 leverage with no practice and you should be able to lose your account within minutes!

Revenge trading is also a big one. This is when you enter a trade right after another one doesn't go your way. Usually there are a lot of emotions that you are experiencing when this happens and you enter a trade to try to break even right away. Of course, you are not thinking clearly with so many emotions so you are bound to make mistakes.

Money management is absolutely necessary to make money in Forex. So if you are trying to lose money, just don't practice this! The professional traders risk 1-3% on all of their trades. But that doesn't matter if you want to lose money fast. Your account won't drop fast enough unless you're risking at least 5-10%!

The final way to lose money that I want to talk about is overtrading. This is tied in with revenge trading. Most people have no practice so they just trade whenever they feel like it. They are not picky with their trades and just enter whenever they want. This is a great way to lose money. If you are not patient enough to be picky, then I guarantee you will lose your account.

These are just a few of the best ways to lose money with Forex. If you do all or even just one of these things, you will definitely have no money to show for it. Usually sooner rather than later. If for some reason you want to actually make money with Forex, you would need to do the opposite of everything I just talked about. You would also need to learn a sound Forex trading strategy and practice until you can perfect it. But why would you want to do that?

Successful Forex Trading - How to Generate 10 Pips a Day

Gambar
A common approach to forex trading is to play with small stakes and target large price moves in the region of 50-200 pips. Indeed I trade this way myself using my main 4 hour trading system. However an alternative approach is to increase your stakes and look for much smaller price moves. That way you only need to find one decent trade per day if it generates around 10 pips, for instance. It's not that easy to do, but you can achieve this target if you employ a sound trading strategy. The best approach is to concentrate only on the major currency pairs (such as the GBP/USD, EUR/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/GBP and GBP/JPY, etc) and look for pairs that are trending strongly upwards or downwards during a given trading session. You simply look at say the 1 hour chart of all of the major pairs and see which ones are moving strongly upwards or downwards. Then once you've done that you can use the shorter time frames to get a good entry point. The best strategy is to find out which currency p...

Combining Technical and Fundamental Trading Methods For Success

So far, in the previous two articles, we looked at each of the two systems used to analyze currency value in forex currency pairs when traders are assessing trade positions. Most traders see themselves as one type of trader or the other, but successful traders use both methods to varying degree with a bias towards their favorite. Both of these approaches to market forecasting attempt to solve the same problem; to determine the direction prices are likely to move. They just approach the problem from different directions - the technical trading method focuses more on the value history and uses the current value of a currency in a pair referenced again historical trading ranges and value to give an indication of the likely change and new value that a currency will have in the near future. Currency charting in graphical format is the primary tool. Fundamental trading looks primarily at the primary real market conditions that should determine a currency value now and overlays that assess...
