During
my long Forex career, I realized that no strategy is perfect. We just
need to learn from every mistake and adapt according to the market
behaviour and price action. There is no definite success mantra, but we
can use these simple tips to avoid disasters while trading:- Never ever trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
- In addition with a forex strategy, try to keep a track of price action.
- Be patient – never chase the market. It can easily surprise you anytime.
- Accept losses as a learning lesson, and profits with grace.
- Keep a check on fundamentals. Economics and technical analysis go hand in hand.

The most important thing that traders need to learn is that price is truth.
A beginner cannot give up many false beliefs. Therefore, he or she
denies the truth that is on the computer screen. The most important
belief to give up, is that there are perfect trades, where there is a
high probability of profit with a small risk and a big reward.Every trade is a trade-off between probability and risk/reward. A beginner works hard to save enough money to trade. Losing the account means the death of the dream. Hence, a beginner only thinks about risk, and ignores the other 2 equally important variables (reward, and probability). A beginner tends to trade too big, and use stops that are too tight. Furthermore, a beginner takes too many low probability trades. He needs to learn to trust the charts, and structure and manage trades properly. Those are the hurdles that all traders must clear to become consistently profitable.

The most effective tip for better trading that I have never received myself was not only to keep a trading journal, but also to read and act on it.
Most traders do not even keep a log of their trades (that is a big
mistake!), but those who do (after reading about how useful it is) often
forget why do they do it in the first place. By going through the list
of trades, analyzing your own reasoning for the trade actions, and
interpreting the resulting outcomes, you are able to discern
inefficiencies quickly in your strategy and to put more emphasis on the
actions that have brought the most profit. The end of the year is the
best time to go through such a routine.Austin Netzley, #1 Best Selling Author of Make Money, Live Wealthy
The best thing you can do to build a successful trading career is to journal.
At the end of every day or every week, take some time to reflect on
what worked, what didn’t, what you did well, what errors you made, and
what you’re committed to changing in the future. This frequent
reflection will have you learn more in a year than most do in a decade.
With trading there are lots of lessons to learn and countless errors to
make; reflecting and writing things down will have you more quickly get
through the rough early stages of trading and soon into expert status.Brian McAboy for Inside Out Trading
Two things to be successful as a trader:- Know what you’re doing by getting proper and adequate training. There’s more to being a trader than following a system and focusing on discipline. So many traders begin active trading knowing only “enough to be dangerous”, then wonder why they get killed financially.
- Treat this as the real business that it is, the same as you would any other business. Prepare a proper business plan using realistic numbers and educate yourself on running a business. If you’ve never started and run a business before, this is your tougher learning curve.
Daniel Lummis for FX City
Invest in a good back testing software.
It will save you hours of time and countless dollars if you are able to
back test your strategy first and see if it is actually profitable in
the long run. Put a complete strategy together and test it over as much
data as possible and on different currency pairs. Doing this early on in
a trading career will cut down a newbie traders learning curve by at
least half.Gerald Segal for LeapRate
Best tip I can give Forex traders is to be careful with leverage.
A correct call can quickly turn into a big loss if you use too much
leverage, and get closed out of your position before it goes in the
right direction. And, make sure your account is with a properly
regulated broker.Hao Sun for Trade with Precision
When trading forex, the number one tip to remember is capital preservation! In order to preserve capital, a trader must be familiar with risk management principles
and use these in his or her trading. Risk management principles include
the setting of stop loss orders at sensible price levels (i.e. levels
supported by technical analysis), as well as effective position sizing
to suit the value of your account. Surprisingly, fewer than 10% of all
traders employ risk management tools in their trading. Set yourself
apart by managing your trade risk from the beginning, as it is essential
for long term success!Hugh Kimura for Trading Heroes
If you are not consistently profitable yet, then you need to reduce the number of things that you are focusing on.
First, pick one timeframe that suits your personality and lifestyle.
People who have a day job should focus on Swing Trading, or day trading
on a set schedule. Notice if you do better on shorter timeframes or
longer timeframes by trading in a demo account. Pick one timeframe.
Next, notice if you are better at trend trading, countertrend trading,
or breakout trading. Try out different strategies from these three
categories in a demo account. Pick one category to focus on. Finally,
based on this information, choose trading strategies and education that
fit into these categories. Start with one currency pair and backtest and
forward test one strategy on one timeframe. Keep a trading journal and a
scratchpad journal to see how your trading is going and to keep an eye
on trades that you are missing. Let’s make 2017 your best trading year
ever!Jared Johnson for Day Traders FX
It’s
difficult to control how much money you make in trading, but the one
thing you can definitely control is how much money you lose. If you understand how to control risk
you will be a successful trader. There are countless good successful
techniques you can use to make money, there’s only one way to lose
it. Understand the risk and you’ll be successful.Jarratt Davis, 2nd best performing Forex trader in the world by the Barclays Hedge currency trading index
Becoming
truly successful while trading the foreign exchange market is easier
and more difficult than it’s ever been before. As technology develops,
retails traders are leveling the playing field making it possible to
compete with Hedge Funds. However, there is so much misinformation
available the vast majority will fail.Here are two tips to help you on your journey:
- Learn how to trade correctly by focusing more on fundamentals, sentiment and risk management than you do on technical analysis.
- Learn from like-minded traders only if they have a verified track record of success.
Joel Kruger for JKonFX
Trading
markets successfully is an exceptionally challenging endeavour that
requires the highest degree of discipline and commitment. There is no
simple way around this. But if I were to offer my most effective tips
for success they would be the following two tips which have been the
foundation for my own success as a trader:- Positions should never be so large as to compromise a good night’s sleep.
- Only take positions that you love, as this will serve as an excellent filter that eliminates overtrading.
Kim Krompass for Price Action Traders Institute
Having a simple and repeatable trade plan that completely removes the trader’s subjectivity
is the cornerstone for becoming a consistently successful trader. It
may sound cliche, but I believe keeping it simple is key. I recommend a
trade plan with no more than three to five duplicatable steps to
eliminate confusion, hesitation, decision fatigue and anxiety.Reynaldo Soriano for Enlightened Super Trader Education
The most effective trading tip that I can give to build a successful career in forex trading is to follow these 5 simple steps:- Know Your Intention – Don’t learn to trade by yourself. In trading, you cannot succeed on your own.
- Preparation – Before going to battle, you will need to prepare mentally, technically and physically.
- Practice – Back test what you have learned in a real environment.
- Compete – Test your skills in a real live trading environment with a real trading account.
- Repeat The Process – Visualise the same process of success over and over again.

The most important tip I can give anyone, whether they are starting out or have been trading for a long period of time, is to build patience. One of my favourite trading quotes comes from Jesse Livermore – he says “It never was my thinking that made big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!”.
It has taken me an incredible amount of time to learn this lesson.
Action never pays in the long run. Developing the patience to plan and
execute a good trade and then letting that trade work for you is by far
the more consistent path to success.Walter Vannelli, Professional Forex Trader and Forex Mentor
Thanks
for the question. More than three decades that I deal with the Forex,
what I always recommend is that being a trader is to think like a trader
and first learn to manage the risks then take them,
never do the opposite. The right behavioural approach to the market will
take time to understand how to control and not be controlled. Be constant in profits
is the second way to becoming a trader. In other words we must learn to
be content, at the beginning even 10 or 15 pips profit. Also remember
that if the market moves the side and there is nothing to do, you do
nothing.Yohay Elam for Forex Crunch
My rule of thumb: Never risk more than 2% of your account in one trade. For newcomers to forex trading, keeping your leverage low and avoiding big trades
is the key to long-term success. New traders have a greater chance to
make mistakes, and we do not want these mistakes to be costly. Getting
the margin call early on can end the career of the trader swiftly. By
maintaining the 2% rule, there is more to make mistakes. Maintaining
this type of low risk is also relevant in the case of early success. The
euphoria that a new trader can experience by winning a big trade early
on can lead to over-confidence. And later on, this can lead to blowing
up an even bigger account.For a successful and enjoyable career, listen and learn from forex trading veterans. Click To Tweet
