New Blog Post from The Binary Options Experts Identifies Mistakes Traders Should Avoid
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 21, 2014 -- Even the most seasoned of traders who have successfully finished a binary options course can succumb to failures. In its latest blog post entitled “Traders Fail For Many Different Reasons,” The Binary Options Experts identified the common pitfalls traders fall prey to.
Failure To Find Their Edge
Before settling for a trading system, the investor should be able to satisfactorily answer what makes that system profitable. Additionally, investors need to analyze how often the system wins and how big the profits are as compared to the losses. Answering these questions allows a trader to gain trust in his chosen system, which in turn allows him to profit in the long run despite short term hiccups.
Not Sticking To The Plan
Another common error investors make, according to the experts in forex binary options, is succumbing to the temptation to try other systems. The blog post compared a trading system to a road map which will guarantee the safest and quickest way to reach the investor's destination. The successful stick to the plan, while the unsuccessful get waylaid by deviating from the plan.
Spending Beyond One's Means
Spending heavily on one single position has two main adverse effects. From a financial standpoint, the trader unnecessarily accrues heavy losses while trying to break even. Second, from a psychological perspective, such heavy losses can cripple a trader's confidence. According to the blog post, the key to consistently winning is to trade small.
"The market will always be there tomorrow and trades will come each and every day," Duane Cunningham, VP for Global Operations at The Binary Options Experts, explained.
Focusing Too Much On Profit
Putting much focus on profit, instead of the overall process, can distract a trader from making objective investment decisions. Instead of focusing on actual money won, successful traders choose to pin their attention to percentages of their trading accounts, points won and risk/reward ratios.
In order to prevent committing mistakes, The Binary Options Experts advised traders to trade only when they are happy, during the opening of the markets. After completing a trade, they must take their money and leave instead of succumbing to the temptation of over-trading.
"They say the clever people in this world are the ones who can instantly learn from their mistakes. This is also true when trading. If you repeat the same mistakes over and over, it’s possible you may not have the correct frame of mind needed to become successful in this game. Learn and never look back," Cunningham concluded.
