How To Make Money In The Forex Market

By John Eather

The foreign exhange market can be a frightening thought. You can make money in a short amount of time, but you can lose it fast too. If you suffer from nerves, this may not be something you want to do. Even those of strong constitution can be reduced to blubbering idiots by the Forex market. If you think you can handle the stress, here are a few pointers to help you in the right direction.

To become a trader in the foreign exchange market, your first goal is to determine what you are willing to risk and what type of return you want on your investments. How much money do you want to make and how much time are you willing to wait for it? Is the risk worth the outcome? After you find the balance you are comfortable with, stay there and do not budge.

A successful foreign exchange market trader is a cool trader. This means that you must distance your feelings and your emotions from your actions. In fact to preserve your sanity it is essential that you do so. Remember that what you are doing is applying logic and statistics to the maximisation of your profit. Successful trading is analogous to the professional poker player with a perfect knowledge of the odds and the ability to apply this knowledge with both a poker face and a poker soul.

Do not be too discouraged if things don't always turn out the way you had hoped. There is not one forex trader who has never made a mistake. There will be events where you make mistakes and that is just the way it is. Use the guidelines in the next paragraph and you can save yourself a few gray hairs.

First and foremost, decide how you want to accomplish your goals. Do not make the mistake of starting without some sort of plan in place. Even if this is not the right plan for you, it is a starting point and you must have a starting place.

What should you include in your plan? Well some things are: From which sources do you obtain your information? What indicators will you follow? What tools will you use to assist you in your decisions? Who (if anybody) will you listen to and learn from? Make sure that in your approach you are clear on all the above.

Ok, now we have two very distinct ways of playing the forex market game. It seems like no one agrees on which way is better. There is the instinctual approach in trying to figure out how the market is moving based on past events, trends or politics using various mathematical programs to help you make decision. The other way of looking at this is from a purely statistical manner. You have to figure out which of these ways is right for you.

So, to summarise; you need to establish your basic goals and constraints, assemble your initial plan, decide on your approach, and go for it. By adopting these basic rules you will maximise your chances of making some real cash without compromising your sanity. Of course, you should also have some good fun in the process. - 23212
