Forex Trader, How To Treat Yourself Regarding Past Transactions.
A trader opens and closes positions every day, looks for new opportunities, wants to get more profit, using the advantageous conditions of the Forex market. Maximum of used opportunities brings to maximal profit. The procedure of getting profit may seem too boring, that’s why a lot of traders try to improve it. Some traders allow the results of their past transactions to influence on their decisions about further transactions. As a result they refuse from the practice “input-output” that has proved its success. The results of some first transactions of such traders influence on how they can use their opportunities in further transactions.
If a trader incur losses with his/her first transactions, because he/she couldn’t get ready right for transactions, then this trader can lose his/her self-confidence, that is so necessary for arranging further transactions. And vise versa,a trader can become too self-confident after the wide range of successful transactions.
So, there is a very important moment in the work of a trader — there must be a ban for thinking of past transactions and their results at the moment when he/she is planning new transactions. A trader can estimate the results in the end of a working day, but not during tender. How to make yourself not to think of past transactions? As even if a person tries to avoid the thoughts about past transactions, this practice is less destructive, than if a person starts thinking of them. The decision of this problem is in the following — a trader has to learn to have such called an “empty” opinion, but it needs time to acquire this skill. A trader must be able to reach to the source of such thoughts and to nip them in the bud.
A trader starts thinking of past transactions, as he/she considers them too important for the common progress of his/her work. A trader estimates the results and starts estimating the importance of past transactions. This way leads to nowhere, as in real a trader can not estimate his/her total progress considering such a small part of his/her work. As soon as a trader understands that, the motivation for thinking always of past transactions disappears.
Successful and experienced traders treat every transactions as a new one. A beginning trader treats his/her first transaction in this way. A transaction itself and its result do not have a great importance. A trader will have enough time to think of it, but only in the end of a working day.
This aspect of the work of a Forex trader is really very important. Actually you have probably already realized that. Every trader must learn the psychology of trade in order to be able to learn how not to think of his/her past transactions.
