6 Life As a Forex Trader - Acting Compulsively

There are many things in your Forex trading career that are as important as having a good system. You should never underestimate the importance of having the right mindset, and the dangers of having the wrong one. A career as a Forex trader can be a rich and rewarding experience or your worst nightmare.

I know many traders that develop and addiction to the Forex market. An addiction that is as dangerous and destructive as any other. Trading the Forex market should never get in the way of you living your life.

It is easy for people with addictive personalities to take the wrong path while trading the markets. That is why knowing yourself is so important. If you tend to do things compulsively then maybe you should think twice before getting involved in trading the Forex market; or any other market for that matter.

The Forex market is an addictive occupation, and unless you are prepared it can easily suck your life away. Just like alcohol, drugs or a gambling addiction.

Why are you trading in the first place? What do you expect to get out of the market? Do you know your weaknesses and strengths? Different people trade for different reasons. Analyze yourself and if you think you are up to the challenge go ahead. Trading is a beautiful and rewarding business.

I think I can offer you guidelines so you can determine if you have an addictive personality.

1.- Analyze your family history.

Abused children or the ones that lived on unstable homes are more likely to develop an addictive personality.

2.- Guilt feelings

Do you feel guilty after doing something? Do you keep doing it anyway?

3.- Do you lose control easily?

My father use to say, when I was young: "You can take a drink once in a while, that's ok. The problem is when the drink takes you. I think this applies to any kind of addiction. For example, in the Forex market, you can trade for a living but never live for the trading.

Anyone with the determination and the right information can learn how to trade the Forex market. Knowing yourself is as vital as having a good system, it will help you avoid a lot of pain in your trading.
A good mechanical system can help you trade with profit and let you live your life at the same time.

  4. If the so-called 'gold bug', investors who believe passionately in the long-term value of buying gold, are right, then this could be a good time to add a tradingview glitter to your portfolio. Over the last five years the price of gold has more than doubled from US $250 to US $574 a troy ounce and it is still nowhere near it's all time 1980 high of US $850 a troy ounce. In fact, there are many who believe it could double in price AGAIN!
