Forex Speculation - Beginner's Mental Challenges

For traders who are struggling in the forex market, there are several obstacles that must be experienced in forex speculation. If you do not have such experience, it indicates that your level of forex speculation is not good. These barriers are not technical analysis barriers or forex knowledge barriers, but specifically psychological barriers, which are commonly referred to as mentalities.

First hurdle: Can you keep an eye on the market every day and be short for a month? Even longer? The first hurdle is to hone patience. In the online trading market, we need to learn to wait for opportunities. Short positions are also operations, and they are high-level operations, but they are also the most difficult to operate! Short positions are definitely the prerequisite for making big money. Short positions are the best way to avoid market value decline, because only being able to be in short positions can keep one's mind calm! The length of time you have been empty can tell a person's mentality.

Forex speculation is a process that requires perseverance and patience. The market will not always develop according to your expectations, and sometimes it takes a long time to see profits. When encountering setbacks, persist and follow your own plans and strategies.

The second hurdle is: when other currencies soar but your currency falls, do you feel lost? If you feel very lost, do you have the urge to exchange currency? On the contrary, while other currencies have plummeted, your currency has risen. Do you feel excited and have the idea of posting regardless of others' emotions? If you have both, it means you have a restless mindset and should pass the second hurdle. Do not rise with joy; do not fall with sorrow! Due to the timing of the main intervention in forex, there are naturally occurring cycles of activation. Historical data shows that during a major market, most forex gains are similar (excluding some super-bullish currencies). Therefore, as long as there is patience, opportunities can be said to be equal.

Third hurdle: If the exchange rate has already fallen below an important support line, do you have a lucky mentality? When rates continue to decline, will you expect them to rebound all the way? If all of these are present, then you still have a long way to go, and this third hurdle is also the biggest and most challenging hurdle that the vast majority of Hui people cannot pass. Break the line and leave! The main force will never allow their forex trading to break through randomly, so breaking through must be determined to leave the market as soon as possible.

These obstacles are essentially psychological warfare, as the volatility of the forex market is high and prices are constantly changing, which may cause emotional fluctuations such as anxiety, panic, excitement, etc. At this point, it is important to learn to remain calm and rational and not let emotions influence one's trading decisions.

In fact, there are many obstacles to playing games with people from all over the world in the forex market, but it is not because a little technology can defeat them. In the forex market, if you want to defeat yourself first, you can defeat others. A successful traders must complete five basic processes in forex investment: entering the forex market, understanding the forex market, adapting to the forex market, and finally controlling the forex market. Actually, these stages are all included in those three barriers. Only after we pass these barriers can we go further and further in the forex market.
