3.Use a Simple Trading System

Simple systems work better than complex ones, as they are more robust with fewer elements to break so keep your simple too.

4.Do Not Try and Predict Forex Prices in Advance

You cannot predict where prices will go so don't try. Instead, simply trade the reality of price change as it occurs on a Forex chart and a great strategy to use, is one based on breakouts. We have written frequently on this timeless strategy and its a great way to trade for novice or pro traders.

There are lots of different ways to make money but all successful trading strategies have one thing in common - they all have good money management. They cut loses quickly and your strategy must too. You are going to have losses, so deal with them correctly and keep them small.

6.Don't Follow News Stories

Don't pay attention to the news, in Forex trading 95% of traders lose and the news always reflects the crowd and you will always see markets collapse when the news is at its most bullish and rally when its most bearish. Instead of following the news, simply follow price action and use charts. The chartist doesn't care why markets are moving, he just wants to make profits when they do.

7.Trade the Long Term trends

Don't day trade or scalp the market for minor profits, because you will never make enough money to cover your inevitable losses. Trade the big longer term trends that last for weeks and you will make a lot more money and spend less time on your trading.

8.Trade with Discipline

If you can't trade with discipline you will lose, because if you cant follow your trading plan with discipline you don;t have one. You must take losses and keep them small and have the courage to run profits which comes from a good education and keeping your emotions out of your trading.
