Here we will give you 3 trading tips you can incorporate in your Forex trading strategy for bigger profits and there all simple to do and can make it more profitable instantly.
These 3 tips really cover avoiding novice errors but many experienced traders make them to, here they are.
1. Cut your Trading frequency
I know traders who trade just once or twice a month and make triple digit gains but most trader's think the more they trade, the more they make but the exact opposite is true.
There is no correlation between profits and how much you trade. If you trade to often you will simply lose money, because you are taking low odds trades. Day trading and scalping losses money, because all short term volatility is random and that means losses.
Cut your trading frequency, only focus on high odds trades and hold these moves for big profits; it sounds simple but most traders lack the patience and discipline to do it.
2. Do not Place Stops to Close
Most traders are so obsessed with avoiding risk they actually create it, by putting there stop to close to lock in profits, they end up making marginal profits which never cover their inevitable losses.
Currencies trade for weeks or months and this can be seen on any chart yet, how many traders hold a trend that long? Not many, because they move their stop up to close and get taken out the trade.
If you want to win at currency trading long term trail your stop outside of the market noise and normal pullbacks. Sure you have to take dips in open equity but you will be well rewarded at the end of the trade, when you bank a big profit.
3. Leverage Beware of Spread Impact and Over Leveraging
If you open a Forex account chances are you will have 200:1 leverage on your money. Most traders use as much as they can and this is a huge mistake, 10 - 20:1 leverage is plenty for most traders.
Over leverage wipes out more accounts than any single reason and its not just volatility that causes losses, its spread impact.
2 - 5 pips may not look much on un-leveraged money but on high leverage, the spread impact often means that traders have to cover double digit transaction charges, just to break even on their account equity on a single trade and that's a lot of money.
The 3 tips above will mean you trade less which means less work and you will be able to get in on all the best trends and hold them for bigger profits.
