How to Become a Successful CFD Trader
Trading CFD successfully is not as easy as it might seem after you look at the demo app. Though CFDs Forex (as an idea) are now a part of financial popular culture, they are just as mythologized as pop memes get, and myths always contradict, from “you’re rich once you’re in” to “it’s all hype and fraud”. The truth is somewhere in between, but to get it, one must take it as a science rather than gambling.
1. Form Your Strategies
It might take a visit to a shrink (or more visits to more shrinks) to uncover your inner traces, but it’s necessary to shape the strategy that your nature won’t protest against. Another way to learn more about yourself is playing online games, not necessarily economical. It can be a strategy, a Battle Royale, or whatever. Are you better at hit-and-run strategy, or at building walls, or at tricking your enemies and rivals, or at stealth? Learn more about yourself, so you can make a strategy that’s you.
2. Focus
It takes time, effort and knowledge to come with a fruitful strategy of yours. Don’t expect a successful blitzkrieg: it’s rather a long siege campaign. It’s better to rely on knowledge than on pure luck unless you’re in it for fun.
Give your time to demos. They are provided by every serious broker. A demo platform shows how trading works, and all it takes from you is creating an account. But consider the fact that risking virtual money generates a lighter attitude. When you make a real deposit, you probably won’t risk it so easily. So it takes some real money to learn how to operate with real stakes and positions. After some small trading, if you feel you have mastered the techniques, you can invest larger to earn larger.
As for webinars, videos, and articles, there are lots of them. But don’t try to read deeper if you start stumbling on the first paragraph. Find others that fit your level of understanding and teach you just a little bit of what you didn’t know. Eventually, you’ll up your competence.
3. Discover the World
As you practice, it’s easier to focus on a small group of two or three assets from one market and learn as much as you can about them. But then it’s time to diversify and extend. The methods you have learned will work on other assets and markets if you apply them right and consider the specifics. And this is only done through learning and discovering. From smaller to bigger, that’s the way.
4. Watch the News
To predict how asset values change, you need to be aware of what happens in the big world. How do wars, ecology, social changes, industry news, natural disasters and staff impact currencies of the countries affected? Will they stand the problems and utilize the chances? What to expect from governments and industry leaders? What about foreign and internal affairs of the states whose currencies you trade most often?
Watch the news and see the trends. That’s what you need to predict rate changes. All the signals and analytics grow from here. Real life is the call; signals are the response.
Good Luck!
Take trading seriously, as this business deserves and requires it. A bit of bravery and risk is necessary, but it’s better to build them upon solid knowledge and awareness.
