Good Forex Traders Are Traders That Manages Their Loss

In forex trading, it is impossible to win 100% of the time.

A good forex trader is not a trader that wins the most of the time but the ones that are good in managing their losses.

When you are actively trading in forex, you will eventually hit a losing trade but if you do not manage your risk well, you will end up blowing up your account.

Take the recent 2000+ pips drop in the Swiss Franc for example, many forex traders out there took a massive hit and many have their account went into 'negative'.

Of course, some may be a problem with the forex broker but again, it comes to the knowledge and importance of managing your risk.

So here is something for you thought:

 Memorize it!

“A good trader isn’t the trader who doesn’t lose, a good trader is the trader who can successfully manage those losses”.

I was talking to a fellow trader this evening, and we talked a lot about the emotional, trade, and risk management aspects of trading.

What it all boils down to is how 90% of traders don’t get these aspects under their belt.

They fight it to some degree.

If it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual system, it’s not worth talking about. This is a costly point of view, it will make you unsuccessful as a trader.

This is why 90% of traders fail and not easy to find a successful forex trader.

The 10% that do manage to embrace it are the few that do succeed. YOU are going to be among the successful few!

It’s important to know that losing a trade is no reflection on you as a trader, it happens to ALL traders. It doesn’t mean you can’t trade and it doesn’t mean you failed , just do it again and don't forget Money Management and learn more about Price Action Trading.

It’s how you manage these losing trades that makes you a good or bad trader.

If you lose a trade due to not trading the system, you might be a poor trader.

If you lose a trade because you jumped the gun, you might be a poor trader.

If you move your stop loss and end up with a large loss, you might be a poor trader.

If you trade based on emotions, you might be a poor forex trader.

You are none of these. You manage your trades.

You take your losses in stride.

The system dictates your trade management and you follow it.

Your losses are never large, never more than the allotted risk.

You understand that losses happen and you don’t let it get you down, you keep trading.


Yours sincerely,
