The guide to losing your money

Date: Thursday, April 12, 2018 7:06 AM EDT

You may have been surprised reading the title of this article. We know there are many kinds of guides available on the market. Most of the guides are about how you can make money, how you can follow some short tips to become rich, how to get over the other traders and get your profit and others. This may be being the first guide that will tell you how you can lose your money. Sounds interesting, right? Let’s take a look at this article and you will find it is not less important than the other guides on the industry. This article will take you on a short journey of how you can lose money in many ways in this currency trading. It is not necessary that you are not a prince charming but here can be many other reasons you can lose the money for.

You have to learn the proper art of losing in order to become a profitable trader. Those who don’t know how to manage their losing trades are always losing money in Forex. Before you execute any trade, consider the risk-reward ratio of that trade. If it comes with a 1:2+ risk-reward ratio, you can easily execute the trade. But never think that you will win all trades. Losing is just a part of this profession. The moment you will start embracing your losing trades is the very moment you will see a dramatic improvement in your trading career. So focus on risk management factors and try to trade the daily time frame to avoid false trade setups.

You analyze too much

You cannot be proud of yourself if you analyze CFD market too much. This market is always changing and you need to follow the trends. People who overanalyze the market find themselves in a loophole. One moment they are thinking it is right and, in the next moment, they are thinking it is wrong. This happens when you overanalyze the trends and you may not know but it is one way to lose your money. The next time you are analyzing the trends and complimenting yourself because you are running some deep analyses, know it can lead you to lose your money.

You underestimate and follow other traders

You are a new trader in this industry and you think you cannot make it? If this is your thinking about yourself, you will lose money. Underestimating is one of the ways you can lose your money. We know you will tell you to have wonderful strategies that work most of the time but if you do not believe in yourself, miracles will not happen. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith to win in this industry. Following the other traders happens when you think you are not as good as like the other people. You do not know what these groups are and they make the wrong decisions. If groups were successful, all the successful professional traders would have a history of trading with their groups. Groups only can lead you to lose money.

You cry over your losses

You worry even at petty things and think it is the end of you. Change this perception and accept small losses. If you are emotional, try to get strong and control these emotions. Emotions will cloud your brain and you will take the wrong decisions. This is another way you can lose your money.

You have to follow these simple guidelines to master the art of losing. Majority of the traders are losing money since they are overly concerned with profit factors. You have to be more concern about your investment to make consistent profit from this market. Even if you face losing streaks, stick to your trading system. The moment you will break your trading rules is the very moment you will start losing money.
