Trading Tip 21: What You Need To Know About Currency Day Trading
By Markus Heitkoetter
The world market is not only one of the biggest trading markets around with a massive turn over of $3.6 trillion traded per day, it is also a market that travels fast and can be very exiting. One minute you can be flying high, the next minute you could already face a loss. There are ways however to increase your chances of making money with day trading.
What exactly is trading?
Online trading means dealing with exchange rates. In finance, the exchange rate (also known as the foreign-exchange rate, forex rate or FX rate) between two currencies specifies how much one is worth in terms of the other. For example an exchange rate of 120 Japanese yen (JPY, ¥) to the United States dollar (USD, $) means that JPY 120 is worth the same as USD 1. The trading market, also called "Foreign Exchange Market" or "FX Market", is one of the largest markets in the world. By some estimates, about 3 trillion USD worth of changes hands every day.
Advantages of Online Trading
Online Trading is appealing to many traders because of
- its trading volume,
- the extreme liquidity of the market,
- the large number of, and variety of, traders in the market,
- its geographical dispersion,
- its long trading hours - 24 hours a day (except on weekends).
- the variety of factors that affect exchange rates.

1. Lack of a Trading Plan

Failure to Accept and Limit Losses

6. Over-Trading
How to Make Money with Day Trading
The easiest solution to avoid all these mistakes is using a trading system. Trading a system will eliminate almost all of the top reasons why traders lose money. Since it can be automated and places the trades for you, it will help you overcoming emotions and lack of discipline. It will get you out of a trade when you're losing, and it will take profits when you are winning. And as long as you don't override the system, it will automatically places the trades for you no matter what.
How to Find a Good Trading System
Finding a good trading system is not easy. Experts estimate that only 10% of all available trading systems actually make money. “For every one profitable trading system that is ‘discovered’ through back testing and optimization, there are nine others that lose money,” says Matthew Klein, CEO of Collective2.
In another trading article I explained the "10 Power Principles of Successful Trading Systems". By simply applying these principles to a trading system you can dramatically increase the chances of being successful.
