Top Four Tips For Wannabe Traders

As an entrepreneur, you know that there are many ways to generate cash and also make the most of your time. After all, being a successful entrepreneur is not just about making money (though that is certainly important!). You also need to find ways of working that give your life balance and room to enjoy it.

One great option to consider with this in mind is trading the global financial markets. When you look at the numbers involved and how much freedom it can bring, it makes sense. The global FX currency market, for example, sees around $5tn trades per day, while the big stock markets such as the New York Stock Exchange are also worth many trillions. Being able to get a part of this while only having to trade for a few hours each day is what makes this so attractive to many entrepreneurs.

Awesome trading tips for beginners

While all this may see you wanting to sign up with an online broker and begin trading right away, you first need to know what you are doing. Here are some great tips for any wannabe traders out there:

  • Follow a written trading plan – once you have done the basics of finding out about how the financial markets work and how to understand charts, you need a written trading plan. This is basically a set of rules to follow in how you will trade. Make sure that it sets out how to find trades to take on, when to enter, when to exit, and how much you will put on each trade.
  • Sign up for a pro news feed service – a big part of being able to find trades to consider and also manage any open ones is to get ahead of the news. Signing up with a professional news feed service will allow you to do this and get access to relevant stories so that you can act fast. These kinds of service will also give live company updates to help you make the right trading calls.
  • Look after your money – this sounds obvious, but so many wannabe traders do not look after the money they have. Before long, it is all gone and you are out of the game. Work out how much of your overall account balance you will risk on each trade and always follow your trading plan to avoid making ad-hoc decisions that will fail.
  • Be prepared to handle your emotions and risk – when moving into trading, all entrepreneurs must be prepared for the emotional side. When you have a couple of losing trades, it is vital to stick to your plan and not let it affect you unduly. Risk is also something to think about carefully – you must be able to deal with the inherent risk that trading brings without it causing stress.

Go from wannabe trader to successful trader

Everyone has to start their trading journey somewhere, even the greats such as George Soros. Do not be tempted to run before you can walk – it is much better to learn all you need to first and start slowly. This will enable you to grow into being not only a successful trader but also one with the experience to thrive.
