A few reasons why most traders lose money



A few reason swhy most traders lose money so you won’t make the same mistakes.

  1. Trading uneducated. Trading takes knowledge, understanding and learned skills. The main reason why Forex traders lose money is because they fail to equip themselves with the educational tools they need to succeed.
  2. Not practicing. Some traders don’t practice trading or testing their Forex knowledge using demo accounts or Forex knowledge assessments before they begin risking their money in live trades. When you use these practice and assessment tools, you can better identify your strengths and weaknesses and re-educate yourself in those areas before you test drive your skills in the live market. 
  3. Being dependent.  Some traders choose to rely on others for the information they need to place trades instead of learning to identify beneficial trades for themselves. The problem lies in the source. The Internet is full of people who think they know what they are doing, but in reality, they may not. Also, when relying on someone else, not only do you trust that they will give you the right signals, you also trust that they will always be there when you're ready to trade. 
  4. Trading emotionally. Emotions and trading do not mix well. They cause traders to hold poor positions too long or good positions to the point where they begin losing. Emotional trading is senseless trading! Forex education could give you the confidence to turn off your emotions and trade with back-tested strategies. This means you could be more effective and more in control of your trading future.

Extreme TMA System

The market, like a pendulum, is a never ending sequence of extremes. It forever tries to reach the mean but never succeeds, constantly overshooting it´s mark, reversing and trying it again but always failing to reach balance. This system attempts to capture those extremes. It is a compendium of my understanding of the market, brought to it´s simplest expression. The principles are not complicated. The first indicator, the TMA shows us the average of the path that the price action in the market is following. As such, it is a backward looking indicator and attempts to determine the future from the recent history. It corrects itself by repainting itself. It has two outer bands that show us the outer boundaries of price movement that we are searching for. Our second indicator, the TMA Slope indicator will show us the relative change in the slope of TMA as compared to previous candles. It determines in which direction a trade must be placed and also shows divergences to price. For examp...

Top 100 Online Forex Brokers by Popularity

The Popularity Rankings below are determined by the broker's website popularity, both in terms of website traffic and links to the website from other places on the Internet, and the number of individual trader ratings. We are not trying to determine the largest broker as in total trading volume but rather the broker that has the most interest to the greatest number of individual retail traders. In other words, someone with a $50 account counts just as much as someone with $1,000,000 account. In the future we hope to incorporate the actual number of individual retail accounts into the calculation when that information is available. We will also track whether a forex broker is moving up or down in the rankings and how much.                           Popularity Rankings are presented for informational purposes only.
