TRADING PROCESSES DURING A FOREX TRADING TRANSACTION In order to give someone who is new to Forex trading a feel for what the trading process is, an example of a Forex trading transaction is given . BEFORE THE TRANSACTION Before entering into a trade the following should be in place. The trader should have documented his trading strategy or strategies so that it is totally clear in his mind. This strategy should include: 1 What time frame he trades in 2 What evidence he needs to see before entering the transaction, 3 What his acceptable risk return ratio is, 4 The maximum amount he is prepared to risk per transaction, 5 The criteria that he will use to exit the transaction. 6 What his transaction management strategy will be. Psychologically, the trader should be in a focused, confident, calm state of mind. The trader will be scanning his charts for evidence he needs to see before entering the transaction. ENTERING THE TRANSACTION When the trader notices the evidence he requires to enter a transaction he will do the following. 1 Assess the possible profit that can be made 2 Assess the possible risk that he will have to incur 3 Ensure that the risk return ratio is acceptable 4 Calculate the required stop loss value and the limit value 5 Enter the transaction by means of a market order or by means of an entry order 6 Complete the transaction documentation DURING THE TRANSACTION During the transaction praying does not help, calmness does. The transaction can do 3 things 1 It can turn against your expectations:- in which case your stop is there to protect you from further injury. The stop loss is a cost of trading and not all transactions can be successful. It is at the moment of being stopped out that calmness is important because if the stop is in the correct place it price, the movement could be signaling a change of trend and a possible place to enter the transaction in the other way. You can also manually liquidate the transaction at any time if new information increases the risk of the transaction. 2 It can take its time about deciding where to go. During this time it is not a good thing to watch the screen for every tick of the price movement. Rather scan the market for other or future opportunities. When the transaction becomes positive the trader has to consider whether to follow the price with a trailing stop in order to lock in profits. The trader should also continually review the appropriate value of the limit order. 3 It can turn out as expected and be limited out. Calmness during a transaction is vital as this is where trading errors occur. NEVER INCREASE YOUR STOP DURING A TRANSACTION AFTER THE TRANSACTION Stay calm and review the market for new opportunities immediately. Complete the transaction and complete a formal post mortem of what happened. This is a vital part of the continuous learning process. |
