One of important rules for scalper, Always used stops

If you reach your daily goal and continue trading you may win some and you may lose some. After winning and losing you can end up where you were when you began the trading day. It is a good idea to have a target and stick to it. When you make x amount of profit for that day then you quit trading. The amount can be a percentage increase of your account or a set figure for that day. If you use an expert advisor most of them have an option to set a target. You should ensure this target reflects your daily goals.

There are many benefits to having a target and finishing for the day when you reach it. You should have a target for how much of an equity increase you will take for the day as well as an amount you are willing to lose for that particular day.

It takes strong mental discipline and controlled emotions to avoid overtrading. Many traders lose because they lack the discipline, concentration and focus. They are also driven by greed and fear which means they are more liable to overtrade. Forex robots can be used to automatically trade for you which helps for those who do not have the skill, knowledge, discipline or focus to trade manually.

Trading can be a stressful job if you let it be. Overtrading is a cause of this stress. Every day a trader should make a few trades at the most and have a plan of when to enter and exit these trades. It is very important to stick to the plan regardless of what happens. If the plan is not followed there is 95% chance the trader will fail.

If you have a little extra money on hand, you might want to consider investing in the Forex market. What is the Forex market? Forex, (which specifically stands for the Foreign Exchange Market), is an international exchange allowing people to invest money based on currency exchanges. If a currency increases in value, a person makes a profit, similar to how one can make a profit when stocks increase in value.

Since the Forex market is worldwide, it is offers more profit potential than even the New York Stock Exchange. In fact, the Forex market brings in over 1.5 trillion in U.S. dollars every day. Any serious investor needs to definitely consider getting into the Forex market at some point in their investment ventures.

The process of Forex trading is very similar to stock investing. A person can opt to get a Forex broker who will provide assistance in the trading process. If they have a broker, they will need to have a little money upfront to pay them. This is in addition to whatever money was going to be used in the process of Forex investing. If this is a problem, a person can try to start Forex trading themselves.

Numerous websites are available to assist in this process. Examples include FXCM.com and FXClub.com. With FXCM.com you'll need a minimum of $300, before being able to start with your Forex venture. On the other hand, FXClub.com can allow you to start Forex trading with as little as $10.

If you would prefer to trade as the professionals do with thousands instead of hundreds upfront, you may want to consider doing what is known as margin trading. Margin trading is when a person does Forex trading with capital that was obtained through a loan or some other type of borrowed source. The hope is that enough money will be earned through Forex trading that a person will still retain a profit even after their loan is paid off.

To be successful with Forex trading, one must do more than simply invest money. They need to be aware of all the economic trends associated with whatever currency they are looking into. This means evaluating both the currency itself and the economic climate of the country it is associated with. While the most successful Forex trades tend to be with the Euro or the U.S. dollar, this does not mean other currencies can't offer a good profit, especially if the country associated with them are progressing.

The best way to form an educated guess is by researching that particular country's news. It may not even hurt to network with citizens of that country through message boards. If language is an issue, a person can consider using an automated translator or paying a fee to a professional translator. The latter is preferable if a person has no knowledge of a particular language, since automated translators tend not to translate in the best way.

In conclusion, Forex trading can be an effective way at generating an income. Yet, to do Forex trading properly, one should not neglect the importance of research and statistical analysis of economic trends.

Currencies are priced in pairs, no single pair trades completely independently of the others. This makes the understanding of correlation very important.

For example, currency pair "A" moves in the same direction as pair "B" and we have been following up pair A's move very closely. We expect it to go up and we buy. We have not been following up pair "B" so closely and suddenly we look into that and the fundamentals or technical analysis suggests us that this pair may go down. We short sell. What eventually would happen that we would end up having profit on one pair and loss on the other as they moved in same direction. Similar case would happen if we simultaneously go long or short on two pairs which move in opposite directions.

Once we know about these correlations and their changes with time, we can take advantage of them to control our portfolio's exposure.
The correlation coefficient ranges between -1 and +1.

A correlation of +1 implies that the two currency pairs will move in the same direction 100% of the time. A correlation of -1 implies the two currency pairs will move in the opposite direction 100% of the time. A correlation of zero implies that the relationship between the currency pairs is completely random.

Positive Correlation:

A positive figure but less than +1 means that the currency pairs generally move in same direction but not always. A value closer to +1 means that most of the time they move in the same direction

Negative Correlation:

A negative figure but more than -1 means that the currency pairs generally move in opposite direction but not always. A value closer to -1 means that most of the time they move in opposite directions.

How to use currency correlation when you are trading Forex? Well, your slow speed because of an occasional traffic jam on the expressway does not really indicate that the average speed you would end up on the road will be same. The correlation is dynamic and change every moment. Take a note of the correlation of the past few days and compare it with the correlation value in the long term, say past one year. If the short term value is far different from the long term value, may be it's offering you a chance to place a trade... but how? Let's say that currency pairs A and B has a correlation value of 0.98 during past one year. It means that they both move in almost the same direction. When currency pair A moves up, currency pair B also moves up with the same speed. Suddenly you notice that during the past one month or one week the correlation value of the currency pairs A and B is 0.10 i.e. moving in the same direction but with a different speed. To clarify as an example let's say two cars are moving towards the same destination, one is moving at 100 miles/hr and another at 10 miles/hour. But we can assume that ultimately both may have to catch up on the speed (similar speeds). So what do we do? Well, we find out which one is slow and ride that.

When we convert this car example to currency trading, suppose two currency pairs move in the same direction and have been moving up with a correlation over 0.60 in the long-term and we find that suddenly the correlation value in during the past few days has become 0.20, we just see which currency pair's movement (increase is slow) and we could buy that. On the other hand we could short-see another currency pair.

Disclaimer: Trading has it's own risks and no analysis can assure you that it would prove to be correct 100%. We need to work innovatively to make strategies which have less risks and more gains.

Do you believe me when I tell you guys that get out are also the best time to get in the market? Trust me, its true.

All trader of the world are trying to get the right time when to get out, so they can maximize the profit without losing any nickel of it. Fuckin greed.

Let’s say we’re in a Bull Market, A lot of trader including myself, when enter or get in the market, we just sitting on desk and thinking like some greedy fuckin idiots hoping the market will go to the moon. When we saw market doing some retracement, we just ignore it like it don’t really happen, now guess what? What if the market makes U-turn and now bear in control? I mean, what would you do? It’s nothing we can do. The market fucked us. The market did that because the trader are dreaming and hoping.

Most traders are like gamblers. Put their money on it and hoping the lady luck are on their side, well, I must say, sometimes, hope and luck are on our side, but mostly it didn’t.

One of biggest problem when exiting the trade is greed. It’s nothing wrong being greed, just make sure it worth for it. Being greedy just the first step to loose everything. When you’re greed, then come the hope, then come hoping for luck. Well, trust me; these three things are not good for you in your trading journey.
