The Psychology Of The Forex Market:
The Psychology of a Good
Trader Being a good trader involves more than just being able to analyze the
market technically and/or fundamentally. One of the most crucial yet overlooked
elements of successful trading is maintaining a healthy psychological outlook.
At the end of the day, a trader who is unable to cope with the stress of market
fluctuations will not stand the test of time — no matter how skilled they may be
at the more scientific elements of trading. Emotional Detachment:
Traders must make trading decisions based on strategies independent of fear and
greed. One of the premiere attributes of a good trader is that of emotional
detachment: while they are dedicated and fully involved in their trades, they
are not emotionally married to them; they accept losing, and make their
investment decisions on a mental level. Traders who are emotionally involved in
trading often make substantial errors, as they tend to whimsically change their
strategy after a few losing trades, or become overly carefree after a few
winning trades. A good trader must be emotionally balanced, and must base all
trading decisions on strategy — not fear or greed. Know When to Take a
Break: In the midst of a losing streak, consider taking a break from
trading before fear and greed dominate your strategy. As noted in the money
management section of the course, losing is an inevitable part of trading. Not
every trade can be successful. As a result, traders must be psychologically
capable of coping with losses. Most traders, even successful ones, will go
through a stretch of losing trades. The key to being a successful trader,
though, is being able to come through a losing stretch unfazed and undeterred.
If you are going through a bad stretch, it may be time to take a break from
trading. Often, taking a few days off from watching the market to clear your
mind can be the best remedy for a losing streak. Continuing to trade
relentlessly during tough market conditions can breed greater losses as well as
damaging your psychological trading condition. Ultimately, it’s always better to
acknowledge your losses rather than continue to fight through them and pretend
that they don’t exist.
