Tip #1 Knowledge is Power.

When starting out trading forex on the net, it is an absolute must that you understand and become good at the basics first. Once you have a good concept on the basics then you can move forward.

For example, one of the major forex influencer's are global news events. An ECB statement is released on Euro interest rates and this will cause a flurry of activity. Most newcomers will get scared and wait until everything calms down. If you hesitate you are likely to miss out on some great trades. You must act when the market is in volatility not when it is in a stand still.

Tip #2 Independence

When you are new to Forex you will be trading yourself or have someone else do it for you. Obviously you will make more trading yourself, but you must know these things.

If you have someone else doing it, don't interfere what he is doing, he has a strategy that may take some time, let it ride.

And if you are doing it yourself, don't get too much information, if you try and get too must information from too many sources this will result in only multiple losses.

Take a position, ride with it and then look back and analyze what has happened. Be independent and stand strong.

Tip #3 Don't Get Over-Confident

And on the other side if you are winning a trade don't pull back because of the stress levels. You must learn to tolerate the stress, it is natural to trading, you must get used to it.

Tip #6 Don't be smart

The most successful traders keep their trading basic. The don't analyze all day or research historical trends and track web logs and their results are excellent. They spend their time in the stress zone not in the library.
