Why Forex Traders Plan to fail before making their first Trade & How You Can Know It & …

Have you heard the wise saying that a trader who can not plan, plan to fail? I have, and I was once that trader! But did you know that even entrepreneurs who plan, who have built their key business processes (their "edge"), have a plan likely to fail?

If we look at all the players involved in the market: we have a group to plan and therefore expected to fail, another group that plans failed, and the third groupgood planning and not fail.

Wonder that the success rate for forex traders is so slim?

Be ', is not necessary.

Here is a list of reasons why those whose plan is destined to fail:

1. Emotionally attached to their ideas on how to test the market should be minimal or inadequate;

2. They fall in love with their back-test results, net income, without fully understanding other keystatistics;

3. They will not admit that mistake.

Let each point in detail a bit 'more.

1. Becoming emotionally attached to your ideas without adequate results

Most of the newcomers when they understand the importance of obtaining a trading plan and stick to that plan immediately start with the knowledge they have learned and good luck to throw it all together in what they consider their "level of commercial use .

When questionedif they have a trading plan most of these traders answer with an unequivocal "Yes."

Most of these traders are destined for failure because their strategy has not been proven. They are based on blind faith to guide them through the jungle of trading for their countless millions. Would you walk from one length of the Amazon jungle to the other blind folded? Of course not! You should watch out for snakes, tarantulas and other creepy things that go bump in the night, becauseapproach to trade the same way? I mean, all that really is the release of the blind times on your capital!

Why do companies do?

It is easy. That's right … easy. Not learn to type on a computer language in their system a piece of software that will be more than 6 months to years to learn, not spend money on buying historical data. So it's easy and cheap and saves time too!

Doessuccess for the lazy like this?

Not much! But I must admit that it meets the lucky few – only those lucky enough to start their business during the roaring markets where even a monkey can make money! To repeat once again: do not wear the blind times. Your success can be great at first, given the time and crafts, will be one of the game – have exhausted all your capital.

So what to do when you know that his method is proven?

If you have time, moneylearning and I would strongly encourage you to purchase a number of back-testing software (such as Wealth-Lab Developer), in some forex data, ask heaps of questions on the Wealth-Lab forum on how to code your ideas and within 3 — 6 months can safely coding system forex adequate and proper testing.

If you do not have the time, money nor the learning capacity I would strongly recommend that you manually write your system in well-definedprocedure must be followed. Then, after opening a DEMO forex account you trade your system according to the rules that we presented. Trading rules to about 20 operations have been completed.

Once traders get results from their trial that, unfortunately, something only a figure and a rash conclusion about the system based on that figure a show, namely to make profit. This brings us to the next problem of why traders plans are failedbefore placing their first live trade …

2. He falls in love with the net profit and not demand more more!

Net income is just a number among thousands, but the simplicity, we consider the top 3 results that you should make sure to keep you fully understand.

Here are the pieces of statistical information you should check if the system has completed testing period:

I. How many transactions have they? If you have madea good profit, but only had 3 trades during the trial period you do not have enough space to reach a sample safe conclusions. You can imagine what would happen to Neil Armstrong if NASA had only done 3 computations on how they would arrive on the moon?! If it were not for NASA, then is it not good for you, or at least like NASA should do many calculations you only need approximately 20 as the absolute minimum before you can get to a safeconclusions;

II. What was the process of money management during the test? This is by far the most important point, however, make sure the system works, even before embarking on this difficult area (hence why it is a good second in the previous paragraph). Make sure you fully understand what I have to explain (read several times to take, if necessary) …

If you have a method where you count on a percentage of capitala business can distort the results!

How?

Consider the following comparison sheet where we plot 21 trades with their return PIP (assume that each pip = U.S. $ 1), and compare the returns against the use of 10 contracts per transaction, 10% of capital Trade, or 2% risk per trade …

For example, the Trade Sheet

Now, as you can see the results can be readily manipulated depending on the different nature of money management technique you use and which variables you decideTo use it on (that is, who can say that we do not use 20 contracts per transaction, or 20% stake, or 5% risk per trade – all these would inflate the figures on net return).

It's best if you stay on the market a fixed amount. If all found that a calculated percentage of its budget before the volume of trade is calculated can BIAS trades longer than the top professions. Then, using a fixed amount for the entire sample is one of the realindication of whether your system is useful or not.

III. What was the payout? This is the largest peak on the curve distance downstream of equity. In other words, if you enter on the day of the curve of capital made a peak, it would be if you lose you saved to the lowest point? To test this manually you would obtain their peak of the curve track how far the equity curve downward until it moves higher than the peak was launched – the lowest point between thesefigure with two points which can be inferred from their figure starting point. The figure, with the greatest loss would be your% recorded.

It would need to look at this picture taking and determine if it matches your risk profile. Would you mind if your account is in sharp decline in the figure drawing%? If not, then you will need to re-create another system. As a general rule I do not like systems that generate more than 30% is included.

Anotherstatistics to be covered include what I like to check to determine if the system is profitable or not is the recovery factor. The recovery factor divides the net debt (no negative sign). For example, if net earnings were $ 5659 and the draw were – $ 3542 shares of net profits of the levy would result in a recovery factor of 1.597 (get rid of the minus sign). I generally prefer systems to have this statistic above 3.

So even if wecreated our system, our personality and risk tolerance of real estate transactions are still unable to go through each statement carefully the third and final …

3. Do not fall in love with the system

Most operators, once their system is unable to believe that their system is a loss, or worse, a loss of the historical collection system is designed.

So, to combat this they dig their heads in the sand hoping the problem will disappear. How love craftstheir position at their own risk, even in love with its own system against them.

Treat this like a business with your system as one of your salespeople. If the seller has more than it brings in then you need to fire him and find another.

How do you know if your system is not good?

When I rule the historical record of my system and trying to add 10%. For example, if my system had the historical record of 20% once the system of 20% x 1.1 = 22% have reachedwould stop trading this system and switch to another. And sometimes you can still trade the same system, just with different variables, or a minor tweak.

Make sure you fully understand the implications presented to you in this article. Trading is a company, so that the behavior of one, because it is one of the most difficult efforts can be undertaken.
