In every profession, your progress is in your hand. How you behave and how productive you are, define your promotion. And eventually, you will be able to reach a good position in your career, if you can be productive. On the other hand, your demotion is all on you. If you see problems with your work, it is the problem of your plans. In the case of trading business, this fact is the same. Traders do lose because of themselves. They make poor decisions and wrong plans. That is why they fail to survive in this business. Today we are going to talk about how a trader takes his or her own career to the graveyard. We hope you will be able to improve your trading quality with this article.
Micro-managing your business
If you run a business and you are facing a problem which is costing you more money with time, you would take necessary action against that problem. It will have to be solved, right? Trading is also a business. But, most of the traders make wrong judgments when they make losses too often. Micro-managing is one of them. This is one of the most common culprits which prevents a trader from improving himself or herself. When you are micro-managing you will be using price charts with all the indicators possible. Then you will be observing the charts very frequently in your trading period. You can see that how much busy your brain gets with micro-managing. With that kind of business, your brain will not be able to plan properly and would not get too much time for thinking about your strategy.
Enhancing your knowledge
You have to enhance your knowledge to become a successful trader. Many people often don’t really know the use of premium tools available in their online trading platform. They simply overload their charts with indicators and EAs. But do you really think the pro traders in the United Kingdom use the same method? The simple answer is NO. They rely on simple trading strategy and use the key levels to trade the market with precision. Unless you have enough experience in demo trading, you should keep learning new things. Forget about the profit in the Forex market, focus on your knowledge. Buy some books on Forex and try to understand the core concept of trading. Proper education will change your career within a short period of time.
Trading with more frequency
Like looking at those price charts too frequently trading can also be frequent. But, when it is too frequent, the things get messier. Same as micro-managing your brain gets busy with placing trades. There remains hardly any time for relaxing or thinking. If you work too much and get sick more often, there is no reason for doing this business. You have to be regular to get good at it. Or if you do not get enough time to think about your trades, you will not be an expert trader. Your career will be stuck in the position you are trading at.
Not managing your capital
There is another thing that triggers the two things that were discussed in the last two segments. If you are not managing your account’s capital, it will bother you with losing more than you could have with some control. Basically, if you could have reduced the number of risks you put into your trades, less money could be gone because of losing trades. Or you could have made more money with less investment. Either way, your money could have stayed intact. But no, most traders don’t do such things to their capital. They trade with higher risks. And when they lose a trade, the amount of loss stays big. But, when they make a profit the risk to profit ration does not remain like the same as it were before with control over money.
