Proper Self Evaluation In Foreign Currency Exchange

(I-Newswire) November 3, 2009 - A trader can talk about what it takes to become a good trader but that will not make him a good trader. 
A trader has to be able to asses himself or herself and figure out what they are 
doing right and wrong.  A trader not only needs to know how to trade his system he 
needs to know how to keep himself under emotional and mental discipline.  How does 
a trader put the actual trading process, the emotional side of trading, and the 
evaluation of trading in balance to help his growing account? 
A trader has to have a record keeping system to know how many wins and losses he has, 
a win loss ration is something he has to know.  Not that he won a few and lost a few trades. 
A trader can all have a big loss or win and not know how many smaller wins and losses 
he has had.  One way is to keep a trade journal.  Keep track of the wins, losses, why 
they felt the reason for the entry and exit of the trade.  Most successful traders 
review each trade after it is completed; record the results and total up the reasons 
in each category as to what happened on the trade.  He tracks not only the numbers but 
also his feelings.  Were the trading rules followed, what he did right and what he did 
wrong in relation to the trading rules.  Another thing to keep track of is: was his 
confidence stronger or weaker. to improve overall trading, identify areas of strength or weakness, then work on those areas that are week until they become strengths, and continue practicing areas of strength.
Something else to look into is: can I find and afford a mentoring program.  Having someone 
to teach, guide, and debrief you on your trades could be of great worth in on your path to 
successful trading.  As each trader finds out early on trading can be a lonely endeavor.  
Having someone to talk to that has gone through the same things you are going 
through may make the difference of making it in the trading business or failing.  Fifty 
percent of trading is mental, so a trader needs to ask themselves how am i doing 
in getting control of the mental side of trading?  If a trader says I don’t need that stuff 
I know how to get in and out of the market then: they probably really need this kind of 
help in their trading.
