What separates the elite golfers from the rest of the field? They all have the best equipment in the industry. They have spent countless hours practicing and perfecting their craft. They know how to drive, chip and putt. So what separates the elite golfers from the rest of the crowd? They know how to do it in the clutch, when the money is on the line. This lesson is about learning how to develop the mindset of a peak performance trader — to separate yourself from the sea of traders who are inconsistent and bleed out their accounts.
How many times have you bailed out early on a trade, only to watch it run in the direction you thought it would? That is your brain perceiving psychological discomfort as a biological threat. Unless you can untangle that association, and re-train your mind, you are likely to repeat these behaviors over and over again. You can trade them as long as you have capital, but sooner or later, usually after drawing down your accounts, you come to the realization that you need to work on yourself if you are going to be successful at trading.
Emotions are biological and they take over our psychology. We need to accept that we are emotional creatures and that our psychology is governed by our emotions. So the key is - how do you manage your emotions? You can become the designer of the emotions that you respond to. Think about yourself when you are in the midst of engaging in a trade. Your body starts tensing. Your heart accelerates. Your eyes are fixated on the screen.
If cortisol is pulsing through your body, it can produce a sense of fear. If testosterone levels become elevated, it produces a sense of grandeur. Both of these responses can lead to costly trading mistakes. You can be afraid to pull the trigger on a trade, exit a trade early or double-down on a risky trade.
You perceive a threat, and you are either going to attack it or avoid it. If you hesitate on a trade, you are in avoidance. If you revenge-trade after a losing trade, you are in attack mode. Developing a curious mind allows you to act with patience and discipline, keeping your long-term interests in mind.
We need to rationalize our behaviors so they make sense to us. How is your body genetically predisposed to handling emotion? The markets do what they want to do. Nothing can be predicted with absolute certainty, only varying degrees of probability. We have been trained as we grew up not to make mistakes. We have conditioned ourselves and our brains are biased to predict with certainty. So your brain becomes a negative assessment machine, and you continually traumatize yourself by worrying.
Fear Fear is wear all thought becomes hijacked, and you panic or freeze. Remember that the brain associates psychological discomfort with biological threat, and we need to learn to avoid fight or flight behaviors. Ninety percent of traders lose money because they are making fear-based trades or impulse-based trades. On the fear side, they are afraid to pull the trigger at the right time, or they get out of trades too early. The impulse-based trader gets involved in revenge trading, throwing good money after bad.
To develop as a trader, you need to be able to confront fear to change your pattern of reacting to an uncertain world. Your brain is a negative assessment machine that does not distinguish uncertainty from fear.
It forms self-fulfilling patterns based on the avoidance of fear and uncertainty. The best way to get started in gaining control of your emotions is to label your fears: 1.
Fear of uncertainty hesitation 2. Fear of loss pulling the trigger at the wrong time 3. Fear of missing out impulse trades and exits 4. Fear based urgency to make up for prior losses revenge trading 5. Fear of not being right making a mistake 6.
Fear of self-sabotage blowing yourself up 8. Fear of success or failure 9. Fear of growth and change moving out of your comfort zone Which one of these fears drives your trading? That feeds your state of mind, which forms a decision, and triggers a trade which ultimately has a profit or loss. The results of that trade feed into your emotional state prior to your next trade.
Trading without emotion is not possible, but it is possible to design the mindset you need to trade with calm impartiality. Your trading account is the scorecard if your emotions are under control. If you regulate breathing with steady diaphragmatic breathing, you lower your heart rate and alter the emotion.
Our thoughts and our beliefs are not us, we are separate from them. Knowing that, you can step outside of yourself and question your thoughts and beliefs. You can use powers of observation and curiosity, and dissect the voices in your head that are governing your trading decisions.
Observation is a strong mindfulness tool. Once you observe your fear-based emotions, confront them and question them, then you can start becoming mindful. If you ignore the voices and patterns you have developed in your head, then a perfectly good trading plan can become wasted.
Once you do that, you can develop the foundation of a strong psychological trading plan. Some of the self-limiting beliefs we need to master are: 1. Mistakes are proof of my inadequacy. This fear-based thinking shows up in our minds as thoughts, and our avoidance of them is what keeps us fused to them.
What you need to do is clean house and invite some new guests to the table. Changing self-limiting beliefs requires recognizing what they are, and addressing them for long-term re-organization of self.
Compassion is the emotion that reorganizes the self for internal validation rather than external validation. All it does is continue to feed self-limiting beliefs of inadequacy or powerlessness. As a trader, you need to build a mind for the management of probability. Self-Compassion of a Caregiver Recognizing you are valuable and important From time to time, each of these programs has been called into service, and you can remember instances when you faced a challenge head-on, showed extraordinary discipline, exercised impartiality and demonstrated compassion.
These traits are inside you, and they need to be called to the surface. They are your friends in the trading world. That gets you to mindfulness Stage 2. Next you disrupt the self-limiting beliefs that have been developed without your knowledge Stage 3. When you can trigger the emotions of courage, discipline, compassion, patience and impartiality, then you have re-organized the trading mind Stage 5.
You are developing a calmer mind that thinks and processes information, rather than knee-jerking to perceived threats. With an empowered mindset, you approach uncertainty from a position of Discipline, Courage, Patience and Impartiality rather than fear. Their emotions are under control and they face uncertainty with courage, discipline, patience and impartiality.
They are almost Zen-like. They seem to process information effortlessly, and make well-reasoned decisions. These people are not operating from a fear-based mind. None of that noise is cluttering up their minds. You need to recognize and identify your fears, and the self-limiting belief systems you have patterned based on fear. When you get to this place, your trading account will look much better.
In addition to this, he has worked for many years as a personal development coach teaching individuals how to affect positive change, peak performance, personal growth, and leadership potential. His work centers on how to break the fear-based, self-limiting patterns to which the brain adapts us for survival and how to reorganize the self to a higher level of functioning.
This is accomplished by learning how to manage biological fear and its impact on thought and thus access much more empowered parts of the self that shift our capacity for positive performance. Most traders trade in a state of fear, so they never can open the possibility of performing on a higher level. His emotional regulation training has been used to treat violent prisoners, break the cycle of domestic violence, and free people from the limitations of fearful thinking. His belief is that, until you understand the power of your biology and how to manage it, you will be overwhelmed by it.
Momentary success will be sucked down the drain of the pattern- making machinery of your brain. To break free of old limiting patterns, you must reorganize the brain -- not the mind. The mind follows the brain. What does this look like? Go to any standard motivational seminar and feel the emotion -- it feels like you can change the world and it will last forever.
Then where are you 4 weeks later or less -- back to the same old place. His work with traders began when one came to him seeking improvement in his trading performances. More traders showed up seeking training due to this success. Welcome to this mini Forex Foundation course, your roadmap to trading the Forex Markets. Today I run fxtradersedge. Trading Pub asked me to explain what makes Forex a great market to trade so I thought I would start with some basic terminology and history, to show you how the market has evolved as one of the fastest growing markets to trade.
I will then switch gears completely and talk about a strategy which is very easy for a new Forex trader to grasp.
It is even good for advanced traders! The strategy is called the continuation and reversal pattern and we will show how to use it during trend and end of trend cycles. What is Forex? Today we are going to talk about the transactions of the foreign exchange market known as the spot market. This market involves a worldwide electronic network of banks, brokers and other financial intermediaries. This ensures that transactions happen in seconds directly with the market makers.
All profits are settled immediately in cash. The Lingo in Forex is about pips and lots. What is a pip? Currencies used to only be traded in specific Lot or Unit sizes. Today brokers allow traders to vary the Unit size without sticking to the standard Lot sizes. That margin will vary according to the leverage the broker is willing to offer.
Of course, any losses or gains on the position will be added to or deducted from the balance in the account. The Forex market has evolved faster than any other financial market in history. However, foreign exchange transactions existed a long time before that. Between and currencies gained a new phase of stability because they were supported by the price of gold.
The Gold Standard replaced the age-old practice in which kings and rulers arbitrarily devalued money and triggered inflation. The Gold Standard was a commitment by participating countries to fix the prices of their domestic currencies in terms of a specified amount of gold.
Beginning in , countries operated under the Bretton Woods Accord. A total of 44 countries met in New Hampshire to design a new economic order. However, heavy American spending on the Vietnam War led to persistent U. Finally, on August 15, , President Nixon announced the suspension of converting dollars into gold, unilaterally devaluing the U. This agreement was similar to the Bretton Woods Accord, but it allowed for a greater fluctuation for foreign currencies.
The US trade deficit continued to grow, however, and the US dollar needed to be devalued beyond the parameters established by the Smithsonian Agreement and this resulted in its collapse in Figure 2: Who Trades Forex? The Retail Forex Brokers came on the scene after Investment Management Firms have foreign exposures from their stock and bond portfolios and they transact with the banks.
Corporations in their daily, monthly and yearly foreign exchange transactions deal with the banks. The Central Banks are also key players managing their currency exposures and dealing with investment banks. Hedge funds manage a variety of asset classes, including currencies, and they transact with Banks. Finally, we have eRetail, dealing electronically through trading platforms of retail Forex Brokers. A CFD, or contract for difference, is a product whose price is based on the underlying instrument and is considered an over-the-counter OTC product, which is not traded on any exchange.
For most brokers, the lists of offered instruments continues to grow. As retail traders, we have the ability to trade all of these instruments on Forex trading platforms. The number of markets quoted will vary from broker to broker. One way to do that, is to look at several markets at once to compare them. In this example we are looking at the major USD pairs to see if there is a particular trend in these pairs. Then we can do the analysis and decide which pairs to trade and when.
In addition to scanning the charts for clean price action, it is necessary to review the news releases to be prepared for events which could move the markets. An understanding of the fundamentals is key to relating the price action to the economic backdrop affecting the markets. The simple trading strategy that I have selected is the strategy for continuation trades and end of trend trades.
First we are going to look at the pattern as an end of trend, or reversal trading strategy, also called the top and bottom pattern. The top and bottom pattern is a very powerful pattern that signals a trend reversal. It can also be used as a trend continuation, which will be described shortly.
First, the reversal pattern. Scenario 1: In an uptrend, the market hits a new high, labelled point 1. Price then pulls back to a short-term support level, labelled point 2. Finally, price moves up to an area between points 1 and 2, labelled point 3. It then reverses down again and begins a trend in the new direction. Trade Entry: The pattern is complete when the price trades below point 2.
At a top, the strategy is to sell on a break of point 2. The measuring objective is the distance between point 2 and point 3 projected below the break at point 2. The stop loss is set just above point 3 but a more conservative stop loss is above the start of this move, at point 1. This is a choice that the trader must make and only by trading it over and over again will the trader feel comfortable with the choice of a stop loss.
Also watch for reversal candlestick patterns at point 3 to trigger the entry. Figure 5 summarizes the top and bottom trade. We just looked at scenario 1 which is the top. Now we will discuss the opposite scenario of a bottom. Scenario 2: At a bottom, the market hits a low at point 1, trades up to point 2, trades back down to point 3, and back up through point 2 to begin a new uptrend.
I also learned that if the pattern has between 10 and 20 bars between points 1 and 3, it is more likely to succeed. What I have to say about that is back test and see for yourself. I take most of my trades based on this pattern alone. It is very powerful. You can also use this pattern on a smaller time frame once the market reversal is identified.
You will get a closer entry to point 1 and will therefore be able to take a larger position, using the same money management rules. The formation is classified as a major reversal pattern and is one of the best indicators of a trend reversal. They are found on every time frame.
The swing or position trader will look for these patterns on the weekly, daily and 4-hour charts. The momentum trader will trade these patterns on the 5-minute, 1-minute and tick time frames.
