Get Rich, Maintain Sanity - The Forex Market

By John Eather

There are few things as nail biting as dealing in the foreign exchange market. You can make a great deal of money very quickly, and you can lose a great deal even faster. If you are of a nervous disposition, then it is not the place for you. Even those with nerves made of steel can end up gibbering wrecks by trading in FOREX, however here are a few guidelines that should help you to get rich and retain your sanity.

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.

Remaining calm and collected makes for a good trader. Do not let your emotions influence your decisions. It is absolutely necessary to remember this. Do not forget that what you are doing is using logical and sound analysis to make a profit. You can compare forex trading with that of card playing by always knowing what you are risking, what you can gain and what the odds are that you will win and never let them see you sweat.

Donat beat yourself up if you don't always get it right. Nobody involved in the foreign exchange market gets it right all the time. On many occasions you will make the wrong call; that is the nature of the beast. Just follow the guidelines set out in the second paragraph and you will keep your hair.

Your first plan of action should be to determine how you want to work it. Do not start without a plan in place because you do not want to fail. Start with your plan. It may not be the plan you end up with, but you need to start with one and make changes to it as time goes by.

What kind of plan do you need? First, start with where you will get your information. Next, decide who you can trust and who you cannot when it comes to finding the information you desire. You will need help to make these decisions. Find someone you can trust and learn from. Remember these initial goals.

Finally we will look at two approaches and you must choose the one that you will adopt. You will find many conflicting views regarding which is the better. These are the gut instinct approach in which you attempt to assess market movements rationally based on events, trends, sentiments and politics, or the more mathematical approach that uses various algorithms and trend analyses to make your decisions or at least assist in your decision making. The second approach assumes that the markets function in a predictable statistical manner. You must decide if you think this is true.

In summary, decide what your goals are, make a plan, decide which type of trader you are more comfortable being and go, go, go! Using just these outlined rules you may actually make some money and not be the blubbering idiot sitting in the corner. Don't forget, this is an exciting time, have fun with it. - 23199
