We Should Control Forex Trading

Recommended Posts

Foreign exchange is an opportunity to make a fortune and in same time it is an opportunity to loose our money, we can make a fortune if we knew how to handle Forex, if we don't know how to control Forex it will destroy us, so we must be stronger than it, and if we don't know how to control it with our own hands it will destroy us too. So how I can be stronger than this ferocious beast? It is simply by learning, observing, and practicing.

people are ready to give millions just to see a few seconds ahead...

 

Even though we give millions we will not be able to see a few seconds ahead.. We have to anticipate and try to forecast the market. We should have a good knowledge about high/low resistance. But still it would be difficult. :)

Oddly, I don't get a sense of deliberate single minded focus in your tone that I would expect from "difficult". I DO however get a sense of uncertainty from you, as well as the obvious frustration... which leads me to conclude that really your in one of just 3 possible situations:

 

1. You don't really have a good understanding of what support and resistance levels are very likely to hold, and which ones are likely to just break away once the market touches them. If this is your situation, I would suggest you check out No Brainer Trades - Trading Forex and Other Markets Using Globally Identifiable Actions - Look around, and you'll find some great articles about support and resistance, and what to factor in when determining if a level is probably going to hold, or if it's probably going to give away and have price rip right through it.

 

2. You have allowed yourself to become very emotionally charged up during a recent trade (or series of recent trades) to the point where you went both long and short probably many times at the same level and around the same period of time.... and with each time you changed your mind, you felt more out of control, and more discouraged about your trading abilities. If this is the case, I suggest giving yourself some rules to follow regarding order entry, and executions. Even if you change your rules every single day...this could still be workable as long as you've considered how much your rules allow you to risk, and that you will be able and willing to follow your rules that trading day. Over time, with experience, you will find a better way to determine what parameters and risk amounts you are "comfortable with"...but until you have the experience to do so... your going to need to start with some hard rules on a daily basis.

 

3. You've probably lost a lot of money (or at least what felt like a lot of money to you).... and this further compounded the hopeless and/or disappointing feeling you experinced when you were totally confused and frustrated by the markets price action. If this is the case, you need to STOP TRADING WITH REAL MONEY RIGHT NOW. That is a pressure that can literally drive some to suicide, and you are clearly not anywhere close to being prepared to handle the additional pressures of real money. Nor does it sound like you have a significant edge at the momenth... though it seems you have some basic understanding of price action, and S/R...so you wlll likely get there if you want it bad enough. But until you can papertrade with some real, sustained success (probably at least a few months....ideally 6 months or more)... than trading with real money is only going to intensify your emotions...especially the bad emotions.

 

Take away the money, and this will take away much of the emotion. It will put you in a place where you can keep a relaxed, open mind, which is what you need most of all now as you try to learn how to read the markets, and profit from the opportunities that arise.

 

Good luck. You'll need it, and a whole lot more... but if you really want this, it's very possible for many people.

what is wrong with that? unless you are born with millions (or adopted by a movie star) you have to work hard...

you can be a part-time programmer, teacher etc, if you have necessary skills..being part-time trader is not different..you have to learn first. however, this does not guarantee anything because knowing and using that knowledge are different things;)

    • Date: 15th April 2024. Market News – Negative Reversion; Safe Havens Rally. Trading Leveraged Products is risky Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Markets weigh risk of retaliation cycle in Middle East. Initially the retaliatory strike from Iran on Israel fostered a haven bid, into bonds, gold and other haven assets, as it threatens a wider regional conflict. However, this morning, Oil and Asian equity markets were muted as traders shrugged off fears of a war escalation in the Middle East. Iran said “the matter can be deemed concluded”, and President Joe Biden has called on Israel to exercise restraint following Iran’s drone and missile strike, as part of Washington’s efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East and minimize the likelihood of a widespread regional conflict. New US and UK sanctions banned deliveries of Russian supplies, i.e. key industrial metals, produced after midnight on Friday. Aluminum jumped 9.4%, nickel rose 8.8%, suggesting brokers are bracing for major supply chain disruption.

Copper, more liquid and driven by the global economy over recent weeks, was more subdued this morning. Currently at $4.3180. Market Trends:   Asian stock markets traded mixed, but European and US futures are slightly higher after a tough session on Friday and yields have picked up. Mainland China bourses outperformed overnight, after Beijing offered renewed regulatory support. The PBOC meanwhile left the 1-year MLF rate unchanged, while once again draining funds from the system. Nikkei slipped 1% to 39,114.19. On Friday, NASDAQ slumped -1.62% to 16,175, unwinding most of Thursday’s 1.68% jump to a new all-time high at 16,442. The S&P500 fell -1.46% and the Dow dropped 1.24%. Declines were broadbased with all 11 sectors of the S&P finishing in the red. JPMorgan Chase sank 6.5% despite reporting stronger profit in Q1. The nation’s largest bank gave a forecast for a key source of income this year that fell below Wall Street’s estimate, calling for only modest growth. Apple shipments drop by 10% in Q1.

    • The morning of my last post I happened to glance over to the side and saw “...angst over the FOMC’s rate trajectory triggered a flight to safety, hence boosting the haven demand. “   http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/topic/21621-hfmarkets-hfmcom-market-analysis-services/page/17/?tab=comments#comment-228522   I reacted, but didn’t take time to  respond then... will now --- HFBlogNews, I don’t know if you are simply aggregating the chosen narratives for the day or if it’s your own reporting... either way - “flight to safety”????  haven ?????  Re: “safety  - ”Those ‘solid rocks’ are getting so fragile a hit from a dandelion blowball might shatter them... like now nobody wants to buy longer term new issues at these rates...yet the financial media still follows the scripts... The imagery they pound day in and day out makes it look like the Fed knows what they’re doing to help ‘us’... They do know what they’re doing - but it certainly is not to help ‘us’... and it is not to ‘control’ inflation... And at some point in the not too distant future, the interest due will eat a huge portion of the ‘revenue’ Re: “haven” The defaults are coming ...  The US will not be the first to default... but it will certainly not be the very last to default !! ...Enough casual anti-white racism for the day  ... just sayin’
    • Date: 12th April 2024. Producer Inflation On The Rise, But Will Earnings Hold Demand Steady?     Producer inflation rose slightly less than previous expectations, but the annual figure continues to rise. The annual PPI rose to 2.1% and the Core PPI rose to 2.4%. The NASDAQ and SNP500 end the day higher, but the Dow Jones continues to struggle. This morning earnings kick off with the banking sector including JP Morgan, BlackRock and Wells Fargo. All 3 stocks trade higher during pre-trading hours. The Euro trades lower against all currencies despite the ECB’s attempt to establish a hawkish tone. USA100 – The NASDAQ Climbs Higher, But Is the Growth Sustainable? The NASDAQ was the only index which did not witness a significant decline at the opening of the US session. In addition to this, the USA100 is the only index which is witnessing indications of a bullish market. The price has crossed onto a higher high breaking the resistance level at $18,269. The index is also trading above the 75-Bar EMA and at the 65.00 level on the RSI which signals buyers are controlling the market. However, a similar large bullish impulse wave was also formed on the 3rd and 5th of the month and was followed by a correction. Therefore, investors need to be cautious of a bearish breakout which may signal a correction back to the 75-bar EMA (18,165). The medium-term growth and its sustainability will depend on the upcoming earnings data.   Bond yields declined during this morning’s Asian session by 18 points, which is positive for the stock market. However, even with the decline, bond yields remain significantly higher than Monday’s opening yield. This week the 10-year bond yield rose from 4.424 to 4.558, which is a concern. If bond yields again start to rise, the stock market potentially can again become pressured. 25% of the NASDAQ ended the day lower and 75% higher. This gives a clear indication of the sentiment towards the technology sector and reassures traders about the price movement. Another positive was all of the top 12 influential stocks rose in value. Apple, NVIDIA and Broadcom saw the strongest gains, all rising more than 4%. Producer inflation read slightly lower than expectations, however, the index continues to rise. The Producer Price Index rose from 1.6% to 2.1% and the Core PPI from 2.1% to 2.4%. Therefore, it is not indicating inflation will become easier to tackle in the upcoming months. For this reason, investors should note that inflation and the monetary policy is still a risk and can trigger strong bearish impulse waves. EURUSD – The Euro Declines Against Major Currencies The European Central Bank is attempting to concentrate on the positive factors and give no indications of when the committee may opt to cut rates. For example, President Lagarde advises “sales figures” remain stable, but the issue remains they are stably low. Officials said the decline in prices generally confirms medium-term forecasts and is ensured by a decrease in the cost of food and goods. Most experts continue to believe that the first reduction in interest rates will happen in June, and there may be three or four in total during the year. Due to this, the Euro is declining against all currencies including the Pound, Yen and Swiss Franc. The US Dollar Index on the other hand trades 0.39% higher and is almost trading at a 23-week high. Due to this momentum, the price of the exchange continues to indicate a decline in favor of the US Dollar.   Always trade with strict risk management.
