The first and perhaps most important "secret" is to realize that your methodology or approach (no matter how good) is only part of being a highly successful trader. This applies to any trading style including, day trading, swing trading or position trading. The simple fact is that a bad trader can screw up a fantastic trading system. Conversely a talented trader can take a mediocre strategy and make money with it. Why? Please read on and I will explain. Many traders/investors that I have talked with think that to be a "Super-Trader" that they must possess some type of highly advanced trading techniques or software along with nerves of steel and a highly developed intuitive feel for the markets. In addition they think that these elite group, have some "inside information" that they don’t. You will be relieved to know that the above is not necessary. There are actually only a few things that separate traders who consistently make money and those who don’t. And here they are? * Skilled traders find a strategy or market pattern that offers a high probability for success. They make money by exploiting this edge over and over again.

Why Forex Traders Plan To Fail Before They Even Place Their First Trade & How You Can Know It & …

Have you heard the wise saying that a trader who fails to plan, plans to fail? I have, and I was once that trader! However, did you know that even though traders who have constructed a plan, which incorporates their trading stategy (their “edge”), they have a plan that is likely to fail? If we look at all traders who participate in the market: we have one group that fails to plan and therefore plans to fail; another group whose plan is failed; and a third group who properly plans and therefore does not fail. Is it any wonder that the success rate for forex traders is so slim? Well it doesn’t have to be. Here’s a list of reasons why those whose plan is destined for failure fail: 1. They become emotionally attached to their ideas about how the market should be with minimal or inadequate testing; 2. They fall in love with their back-tested net profit results without fully understanding other key statistical data; 3. They don’t admit they’re plan is wrong.
