The Mindset you need to conquer the Forex Market Part II
Here is the second part, as promised, of the principles I think you need to develop a good mindset as a Forex Trader.
5. - Learn to think by yourself.
You need to avoid the traps of the group thinking. True achievers lead they never follow. Life gave us one Henry Ford, one Benjamin Franklin, one Steve Jobs.
Shakespeare wrote: "All the world is a stage, and we are mere actors" Decide the role you are going to play in this life, don't let others decide for you.
In the Forex Market 95% of traders are losers, do you want to follow them?
I recommend that you don't comment your Forex trading experiences with everyone. As a general rule people are not going to be very helpful. Most of the people, even the ones we love, tend to over criticize; and if you don't have an iron will it can damage, a lot, your learning process.
6. - Confidence.
We tend to be our worst enemies. Even when we did our homework and are very well prepared, when the time comes, we doubt ourselves. Confidence is not something you are born with, it is something you develop. The only practical way I know that will help you cultivate your confidence is experience. When you do things you workout your confidence muscle.
If you want to develop your confidence in the Forex trading area… trade. As time goes by you will develop a feeling of how the market works and your confidence will raise.
7. - Enjoy every part of the way.
The best Forex traders of all time are those that love their work. They enjoy every part of the trading process. Occasional setbacks are nothing to them because they know it's just part of the deal. Learn to enjoy your trading experiences and your odds will increase dramatically.
8. - Live in the moment.
When you are trading, don't think about past victories and losses; it can be very harmful. Leave your past experiences in the past. Thinking about your setbacks will damage your confidence. And thinking about your victories can easily transform you into a reckless trader. Live in the know, enjoy the moment.
I hope this is helpful. I know anyone can become a good trader if they just develop the right mindset and have the right kind of training.
