Characteristics of Successful Investors
People often don't realize that an investor's own characteristics help determine how well they do. This article will show you what some of these characteristics are.
I have written many times about something that most investors largely ignore: The role of the investor's own characteristics in determining how well he/she does as an investor. Perhaps this statement seems a little abstract and...
Currency Trading Research
Here we are going to look at the importance of currency
research and how to implement in a trading plan for big gains
over the long term.
Currency trading research falls in to specific categories,
currency research before you trade, research for traders executing
a vendors signals and research for traders who want confirmation
for their own trading.
Getting the right currency research will have a big influence
on your trading success, so let’s look at each area in more
detail.
Currency Trading Research - Before you start
All traders need to know the basics, you wouldn’t try to
drive a car without lessons, and neither should you try to trade
currencies without a bit of study.
There are plenty of good books on trading and here we are
going to give you some books that you may like to consider.
Good books to read include any by Larry Williams, Jake Bernstein
and Ken Roberts while not specific to currency trading their
easy to read and digest and give you an idea of what trading
is all about.
You also need to read some good books on trading psychology
and there is no better place to start than Jack Shwagers Market
Wizards and New Market Wizards that complies some stories of
some of the great traders of all time including: Ed sekoyta,
Richard Dennis and the famous turtletraders. These books are
essential reading for any trader.
Other good books on psychology include ones by Alexander
Elder and Dr Van Tharpe
And the classic reminiscences of a stock operator by Edwin
Le feuvre
Good overall reference books to have are fundamental market
analysis and technical both again by Jack Shwager.
Currency Trading Research - Following Mechanical Signals
Many traders like to follow currency research in the form
of newsletters and currency trading systems from vendors and
then act upon the signals they provide.
If you are doing this make sure you:
1. Have full confidence in the method they are using
to generate the signals and know as much about the logic as
you can.
2. You also should study trading history to see how
successful trades have been and make sure you are happy with
the risk reward.
3. Keep in mind if you are following signals or trades
you need to follow them EXACTLY and this means having full confidence
in the method used.
Currency Trading Research - To help you with Entry and Exit
Levels
If you don’t want to follow someone else and you wish to
make your own trades then there is plenty of currency trading
research services on the net.
There are services that you can pay for, but much of it
is available free and in many instances, this information is
the best.
Many of the larger brokers and banks have great research
and cover both technical and fundamental factors affecting currency
movements.
Do a search, and you will be able to find good daily, weekly
and monthly currency research reports.
A Word of Warning on Currency Trading Research!
The amount of currency trading research on the net is vast
and many traders feel that the more research they have the better
and try to use 5, 10 or even more different services to help
them with their trading.
The result? - They end up with to much information, much
of it conflicting and get confused and unsure what to do.
The best way to use currency trading research if you are
trading for yourself is follow a few services only, that reflect
your trading style and use them as a filter for your own trades.
Currency Research - Helping to Make your Trading Profitable
If you are simply following signals or trades of someone
else, you need to spend time doing your homework, so you have
full confidence to execute trades with discipline.
Research is needed regardless of whether the method is totally
mechanical or reasons are given for the trades.
To get the most from this type of research you need to follow
ALL the trades, not just a few! Otherwise, you may miss the
best opportunities and your track record will not reflect that
of the service, which you bought.
The real problem for trader’s who want currency research
to just help them confirm their own trading material, is the
sheer volume of research available.
You need to be SELECTIVE and just have a couple - too many
will confuse you and give you conflicting information.
As stated there is no need to pay, many banks and brokers
offer great research and it’s totally free and in many instances
better than the paid for services.
