Not a day goes by when I'm not asked to counsel a new trader on trade management and realistic expectations. Expectations are not projections or probabilities. Expectations are not a statistical or analytic animal. Expectations are emotional and psychological, and trading psychology should be the most important focus for a new trader. Trading psychology will determine your success or failure over the long term, period. In this article, I will cover some core psychological areas you will need to be aware of to be a successful trader.
RISKS
Indeed, never risk more than 5% of your account balance on any trade. This means that the acute Stop Loss on any trade shall not surpass 5 per cent of your total account balance. For example, if you have $1000 account, 5 percent of $1000 is $50. This means that your maximum stop loss shall not exceed 50 pips believing you're trading one mini contract with a value of $1 per pip. I see new Forex traders every moment risking 20, 30, even 40 percent of their account on one trade. With that risk, and four losing trades in a row, you'll wipe out your account. You can't last long taking wild risks like that, and the psychological damage will be continuing. So minimize risk. Use 5 per cent as a maximum risk threshold. Personally, I risk not exceeding 1 to 3 per cent on any trade. If you have larger account, you must follow the same rule, no exceptions. Although you are an expert trader, it's not unheard of to have 6 up to 8 losers in a row. Not anyone loves it, nevertheless if you stick with a 1-3percent risk limit, see and also be psychologically achieve for it, it will roll off your back instead of breaking your spirit.
LOSSES
A lot of traders want for Van Helsing’s cross to raise when this hellish beast shows it soul-stealing teeth: Losing trades! A new trader will often feel ashamed after incurring a losing trade. He feels that he has made a fault and beats himself up over it. Penance does no good in this life, so confess your trading fault, resolve to sin no more, but do not torment yourself. Listen to the Truth: Losing trades are part of the game and are to be fully expected. Forgive yourself, and move on, but do not give up. It's the trading journey that overall will be correct, not each individual step. So admit every misstep. Like a unit owner paying rent to keep his store open, losses are part of the cost of doing business as a trader.
Trading is an art which must be mastered over time. Everyone must serve his time in the trenches, and so must every system. Every trader starts out as a losing trader, and every system starts by being insufficiently tested. Some traders lose for months while others lose for years. Some systems work for two trades, some may work for five hundred. This is why most traders leave "trading" after such a short tenure, and why systems come and go. Stamina, statistical validity, and psychological preparation are what make for a successful long-term trading career.
