Our research and surveys have confirmed too many new, inexperienced forex traders simply do not know how to manage risk in each trade. All too often, the result is the same: they wipe out their accounts.
This is what we find is happening. Forex has grown in popularity so quickly that many traders who are new to forex trading have just waded into the waters, opened an account and have begun putting on trades without any real thought or planning to how to approach trading.
It should be obvious that the problem with this thinking is little to no understanding of how to approach trading foreign currencies and the significant risks to capital that it poses. All to often, new traders try to trade first and learn second.
The result of that learning is the loss of some, or all of their account balance. Hey, let’s be honest, trading on a demo account is never the same as trading with real money. You do not apply the same emotional control, the same trading principles or rules, you can take greater risks with the demo account and you’ll playtoo safe when real money is at stake (often to your own loss).
You should be doing the opposite: learn first, trade second. In fact, across the board, the need to reverse people’s mindsets about forex is what is needed. Learn to trade the right way, and THEN take that knowledge to the market and trade with it.
The NUMBER ONE element to trading forex that new, inexperienced or unsuccessful traders should learn is how to FIRST MANAGE RISK in every trade they enter.
Today, one of the most well-respected names in Forex Training Courses, Bill Poulos, released a video that teaches traders EXACTLY how they should be trading forex. And, how traders can put more trades in their favor by erasing risk — it’s very cool thinking and it isn’t what’s being taught by most of the so-called ‘Gurus’ out there.
Catch the video here:
By learning to manage risk FIRST, traders will find their trading transformed as they are able to approach forex trading with an entirely different mindset, a plan for erasing risk and a solid set of rules by which to trade.
