The Feelings of Fear and Believe in Forex Trading


After a few weeks I learned forex, I feel very happy and confident can earn money from forex business. The feeling that often comes when I can achieve even a small profit. However, when I suffered a loss, a sudden sense of excitement was gone instantly. Feelings were initially pleased that later turned into a feeling of sadness and despair. Maybe feeling like it natural. Or maybe because I was only a beginner in forex trading.

Maybe if I categorize the feelings that I often experience when playing forex trading there are only two: the first is feeling happy or confident and the latter feeling sad or scared. Both are always conflicting feelings will always be there when I started to open the chart and make transactions.

Then, why the feelings of anxiety and fear I experienced more often ...? My answer may be because the percentage rate of loss in playing the forex greater than the benefits. When executing either BUY / SELL happened the first time to our account is minus, because of a spread. And I have to wait for some time to come and see if minu increases or profit. Moments like that's a thrilling moment. If profit then I would be happy if I would be sad loss.

Sense of excitement and anxiety that come and go so quickly, in just a matter of minutes, hours, or daily. But the feelings of anxiety and fear I experienced more often than feeling happy. If indeed it is also experienced by other traders. So if those who have for years been in the world of forex trading are also experiencing the same thing?

Feelings of anxiety and fear that strikes me, because I am still new in forex trading, and I still do not fully have a strategy and a way to analyze price movements well. However, if that was the main factor that made me anxious and scared when doing forex transactions, then I would learn better and found my trading style.

I will find out what kind of system that suits me. During this time I often make mistakes when making predictions forex trading transactions. Either that or SELL BUY. The best way at this point I should learn more about forex trading. I would be very happy if there is someone who can teach me the strategy and the correct way of analysis in forex trading. Because until now I am still always learning and studying. Trying to figure out the trading system that works for me.

WOW! I think that sums it up

Many of you have been reading this blog may have noticed that my blogging frequency has increased over the past few weeks as I got short the market. As you can imagine I am down money since getting short the market, this is the time when most people pull away from posting. But my goal is to stay active and involved and show you that trading is not always rainbows and butterflies. It is times like these that the things I have been sharing over the past couple of weeks are so important. You need to trade small relative to your account. I have a decent short position in the market and my portfolios are set up to make some awesome returns if we finally turn lower. But something I would like to point out is that my account is 70% Cash.  I learned a long time ago how important it is to live by the rules you preach. Because of my discipline I am able to continue to hold my positions, I have time and capital on my side. I can't stress enough how important it is not to get to big....

Stay Small, Stay Out of Trouble

To expand on my post from yesterday about patience. I want to talk about a very important element that allows patience in a position, and that is staying small. If you trade too big RELATIVE to your personal account size, you are likely to be forced to exit the trade before the trade works in your favor. Many trades myself included have all experienced the pains of trading a position way too large given our account size. There is this predisposition out there that the only way you are going to make money in the financial markets is if you are trading 10 lots of options and 1000 shares of stock at the time. This is not the case, and if this is your mentality you will likely ensure yourself trouble. We have all read the stories of traders blowing up their account. I personally think a good rule of thumb is to not risk more than 5% of your account value on any one position. Good Luck Trading! In The Money Trades And 1 favor that we ask:  If you like the hard work w...

more good news from FXStreet : Tom Fitzpatrick, senior technical analyst at Citibank in New York. Monday, July 15, 2002 "Parity is a psychological, not a technical level...and whether we pause around parity or not, we are likely to see significant further dollar losses...Our initial target is $1.03 to $1.0450. If that level is taken out, it actually casts a question mark against the whole of the dollar's rally of the last seven years, and could open up a full-blown bear market for the dollar." Julian Jessop, chief European economist at Standard Chartered Bank. Monday, July 15, 2002 "The dollar is under pressure from everything from economic problems to asset reallocation away from the U.S. and corporate accounting problems. It's difficult to see any positive factor for the dollar at the moment. The root of the problem is the U.S. current account deficit. If the U.S. doesn't have to attract an enormous amount of foreign capital, people wouldn't have to wor...
