For many forex traders (or any type of trader, for that matter), long gone
are the hopes of making millions of dollars overnight, and all they wish to do
now is stop losing money and begin to turn their trading accounts around. There
are many mistakes that traders make that contribute to getting themselves into
this situation, and this article is going to cover the top five things traders
can do to turn their accounts and performance around!
Pick a Trading Method and Perfect It
Traders who come to forex in most cases are looking to make a lot of money
and do so very fast. To achieve this, they begin to chase the "Holy Grail" that
will make them all their riches. Instead of looking for a method that will give
them gradual success, they search for the latest fancy indicator that will do
all the work for them. I am here to tell you that we all would be rich if this
were possible!
If you are serious about making money in the forex markets, it is time you
get rid of this mentality and settled into learning a method that you can use
for the long term.
One method that can be used to trade the markets successfully is price action
trading, which has been around for a long time and will be around for a long
time to come. Price action trading will not stop working every time the market
dynamics change.
Price action trading involves learning to read the raw price on a chart and
focusing on high-probability price patterns that repeat themselves. Price action
is a very simple method that most traders can get their heads around with a
little help and the correct education.
Once a trader has picked the method that best suits their trading style, they
need to give up on the idea of the "Holy Grail" and begin perfecting their
chosen trading method. Chopping and changing trading methods only leads to
confusion and frustration.
The only way to perfect your chosen trading method is to commit to it, and
practice until you have perfected it!
Learn to Trade on Higher Time Frames
Many traders have the misconception that the lower the time-frame chart, the
more chances they have to make trades, and thus, make money. While it is true
that traders will get more signals on lower-time-frame charts, it is also true
the lower the time frame, the more false signals there are and the harder it
becomes to make money.
Traders can begin to turn their trading around by taking just this point on
alone! The higher-time-frame charts are where most trading should be done for
beginning traders.
One of the best reasons the daily chart is a lot more powerful than a
lower-time-frame chart such as the one-hour chart is because of the time that
goes into making the signals. An example of this is an inside bar.
If we see an inside bar on the one-hour chart, we know that price could not
break out of the previous candle's range for one hour. If, however, we see an
inside bar on the daily chart, it means price has gone through all trading
sessions including the UK and US sessions and has been unable to break out of
the previous day's range.
Obviously, a candle with 24 hours worth of information is telling us a lot
more than a candle made up of only one hour, and because of this extra time that
goes into making the daily chart signals compared to the lower time frames, the
signals are much more reliable and powerfu
