Personal finance experts say no to trading. Be it stock trading, binary trading or commodity trading. I tend to shy away from trading and never ask my readers to take up trading as a means of getting rich. The main reason being we do not manage emotions very well, as human beings. Let me explain in details, as to why trading is not good for your personal finances.

Why Trading is not Good for Everybody

Experts say trading is less strategy but more emotions. Some discipline and some psychology. For the majority of traders, trading part isn’t hard, it’s managing the emotions, and sticking to a plan, where it is hard.

Trading binary options is done by a number of rookies but can they really make money from the start?  The simple answer is what you all want to hear – of course they can!  However, binary trading is not as simple as putting a quick hot streak together or using the latest system.  There are few quick wins in life and the trading game is no different.

It takes hard work, dedication and a commitment to learning to become successful in this game.  Learning is not reading a couple of articles or summaries either.  It requires learning from your wins and losses just the same.  Rookies should be learning from all of their trades at the beginning.  No exceptions.

If you go into trading binary options unprepared you may well end up eaten alive.  This is a common mistake often made by newbies on the circuit.  Whether you’re taking too big of a position on one trade, taking a bad loss or staying too small for a few trades are all mistakes and missed opportunities.

People analyze markets in very different ways. There are those that trade psychologically, those that invest with their heart, and those that rely on technical charts and mathematical data. There are also those that stick rigidly to a strategy, those that use strategies simply to help identify potential trades, and those that would scoff at the simple suggestion of an algorithmic strategy.

Forex Chart

Regardless of how you trade, though, you should fall into one or more of three basic categories, assuming that you are taking Forex trading seriously, which you absolutely should if you intend to invest any of your money in currency.

Compared to most other investment types, binary options are a relatively new retail investment vehicle; and as with most new things, there are several questions revolving around the concept. One of the most pressing questions is, “Is binary options a scam or an investment opportunity with real potential?”.

Today, we’ll discuss what binary options trading is and how it works. We’ll also take a look at why some consider it a scam and whether or not it really has any potential to be a profitable investment vehicle. So, let’s get right to it, the truth about binary options trading.

First thing first. I never did a binary options trading. Partly because it’s risky to my appetite and partly because I am not much confident to start without researching to my satisfaction. This is a result of the research I carried out so far.

Everyone in the Forex trading game, whether a newbie or a seasoned trader, wants to take their trading performance to the next level. Luckily, the secret to improving your Forex trading is as easy as learning how to trade well at Forex. Here are 5 ways you can improve your Forex trading.

1. Avoid Over-trading

Most newbies in Forex trading are so excited and emotional that they end up over-trading. Even though you want to do as much as possible to optimize your profits, you have to keep your trading frequency in check. Every trading decision should be deliberate, well-researched, and properly justified. In general, consider a trade setup’s probability of success before executing it.

A good rule of the thumb is to be sure that the trade you about to enter has a better chance of success than failure, otherwise called the risk-reward payoff. If you stand to gain very little at a very high risk, stay off the market, your impatience notwithstanding.

Every time we see a plunge in the stock market, we feel the need to buy stocks. At least I do. The recent pull back encouraged me to buy a few stocks. As long as you buy stocks for investment, i.e. you hold on to it, it’s fine. In fact , to me, every slump is an opportunity for investment in stock market. But, when you try to trade in stocks then there are some precautions you must take.

Stock Trading

Before reading rest of the article, do keep in mind that trading is a risky venture. I strongly discourage people who are in debt from in form of trading. As a rule of thumb, if you can’t generate enough saving to pay off your dues, you should’t spend any money in trading. In fact, at time, trading becomes as risky as gambling. especially when you day trade based on speculation alone.

I was once an avid self-investor. I used to be the investment advisor for my colleagues. I was successful at it, till I compared my return with that of some mutual funds I bought on the side. It was a pleasant awakening; I was nowhere close to their performance. Then came 2008 when I watched my investments in Washington Mutual bank stocks disappear within few minutes, in front of my eyes!

Trading via Funds

It didn’t take it long to realize I was not a great expert in stock picking. Fund managers were far better. Since then all of my new investments have been either in Mutual Funds or in Exchange Traded Funds. Not only these two, there’s another kind of fund that is still out of my reach, for not having enough investible asset, the Hedge Funds.
