There is some general information for currency traders that need to be understood. It is often the small little things in this business that determine the large and profitable incomes. You need to build your trading business on a solid foundation and here is what you need to know.
The time of the day you trade can be the difference between cold calculated profits and pure gambling. There are basically two times to trade; peak and off peak. The peak time is the best. During this time the highest volume of trades are happening. Since the volume is so high, a bank or large firm aren't in the position to effect the outcome of a currency. What we're left with is market forces in control. During off peak time, the volume is much lower and banks have a much better position. Since volume is low, a big trade by a bank can push a currency in a totally different direction. If you're trading during this time, you could do stellar analysis of a currency and still fail. Stick to the peak times.
The next thing you need to is do a full assessment of yourself. Are you an emotional person? Do you get worked up and can't calm yourself down? Are you always getting "gut feelings" about things? Do people think you have a gambling problem? This all needs to assessed. All these questions boil down to an emotional response. You're emotional if you're a gambler in denial. You're emotional if you get worked up and you're emotional if you get "gut feelings" about things. The last thing you want to do in currency trading, is getting all worked up or getting gut feelings about a specific trade. You want to be a person that makes trades by the numbers. Numbers don't lie and they're never emotional.
Lastly, you need to be able to determine trades that everyone is jumping onto. These are bad trades get involved in. Warren Buffet is one of the richest traders in the world and he got there by not following the crowd. You need to be able to determine when one trend is going to end and another is going to begin. Currencies go up and down. You do not want to buy currency when everyone else is doing it. You want to be able to find a currency that everyone doesn't want and it's at the point that pretty much everyone has done selling and people are looking to buy now.
