I really know that the concept of learning how to day trade the forex market is extremely puzzling to most traders. They don’t quite get how the entire process works. Unfortunately, many traders feel like you have to be super intelligent to be able to pull it off. I guess I can understand why traders would feel that way. I think most know that most people that tried to day trade the forex market, haven’t done so very well.

But in actuality, there is no reason why you cant have any success. Trust me you dont need to have a degree from an Ivy League college.

To begin with, many traders just really cant control their emotions when they trade. It really makes no difference of the trading system or method which you are using. Bottom line is if you can handle the emotions of trading, even if it is or isn’t working, you will never be able to have success. There is no denying it that.

I can say without any doubt that the two biggest obstacles as far as emotions that traders have to deal with are fear and greed. Greed usually happens when a trader gets overconfident. This is usually due to the fact that they have won a few trades in a row and they are in cloud nine. They feel like they can completely manipulate the market to do what they want them to do.

However, when it comes to fear, its quite the reverse. It usually occurs when you absolutely have no confidence in yourself, and you dont really grasp why you are taking the trades that you are taking. All you are doing is hoping that you are right.

I believe this comes from the fact that there are so many traders who don’t hold themselves accountable for their traders. They use indicators instead. They make the decision to completely distance themselves from what the market is doing by using these kind of tools.

Frankly, thats not going to cut it. If you really would like to make money in this business, you are going to have to understand what really makes the market move. This is doubly true when it comes to learning to day the forex market.

If you want to begin, the start to learn price action. Begin today by getting rid of every single indicator you are used to trading with.
