Learning How To Trade Forex

My conceptual model of learning how to trade comprises of following components

  • Learn how to trade
    • Learn the right skills - technical analysis, price patterns, MTF, etc
    • Learn strategies - that suits you
    • Identify flow - the trend and which part of the trend you are trading
    • Identify risk - logical place to put your stop loss
    • Learn the triggers - know how to trigger base on your strategies
  • Learn how to manage
    • Your technical strategies is only the first step, to be profitable, you need to know how to manage
    • Lot size - detail planning
    • Risks - higher sensitivity
    • Emotions - recognizing yourself
    • Decision making - why enter, why this risk, why exit
    • Thought process - understanding yourself, self learning process
  • Learn how to achieve goals
    • Set your goals - pips, dollar values, time frame, etc
    • Focus - losing focus is the easiest and common thing to happen
    • Control - control your pace, emotions, distractions
    • Expectations - set the right level
    • Time management - most people overlook this
