Scared of losing
While running a normal business, you will obviously have a fear of your investment. It is natural for every businessman unless you have more backup. But those small businessmen with smaller investment have a consistent worry of their capital. In the case of trading, your trading account can be accessed by only yourself. And it is solely dependent on your trading performance whether you will make money or not. So, there is a thing of uncertainty for the small retail traders. And when you are a novice trader, you will surely lose a lot of trades. So naturally, your tension of losing the investment will bother you a lot.
But, this type of tension is not good for your trading performance. Because you will need full concentration in this business. And, thinking about your money will distract you from your work. If you have good preparation, you will be able to hold your ground at the beginning of trading. But, it is required that you have to think of your work rather than your capital
Advance use of your trading platform
Trading extremely profitable and one of the most popular businesses in the United Kingdom. However, the number of a successful trader in the Forex market is very less. Majority of the traders don’t know how to analyze the chart in their trading platform. They simply use indicators, EAs and bots to find their trades. You have to use the manual trading system to ensure high-quality trade execution. Focusing on EAs and bots will never help you. Try to think smart and create a profitable manual trading strategy. Use simulators or demo accounts to backtest your strategy. Learn the use of advanced tools as it will make trading much easier.
Confused to trade
When you are attempting for the first time, your guts will normally be weak. You will be confused most of the time. Novice traders have the resemblance of this kind of confusion. They remain confused about whether they will execute a trade or not. As a result, most of the time novice traders fail to trade at the proper time to make money.
The reason behind this kind of problem is a lack of proper knowledge about your job. If you don’t have any idea about what your duty is, you won’t be able to perform properly in our profession. So, it is important that you take proper education and practice in demo trading properly.
Common mistakes
Every human makes mistakes and it is natural for us. But if you can minimize your mistakes, the world will consider you successful. There are mistakes in traders too and those are really effective on a trader’s efficiency. For example micromanaging, over trading, poor risk management etc. are the most common mistakes. If a trader can prevent himself or herself from making these mistakes, a bright future in this profession will be waiting. Last but not the least, don’t carry any emotional baggage in this profession.
