Many traders, especially those who are newer in their involvement in forex trading, would feel that all it needs to be successful in forex trading is to know all the technical trading setups. So they would have embarked on efforts to learn all about technical analysis and charting. They would have poured over charts and indicators for long hours, trying to understand and to apply them in their course of their forex trading. While many times they would have been spot-on with their timing of the entry and exit points of their trades using their knowledge of technical trading setups, they would find that they invariably were not in a position to capture the largest part of the price movement. Why is this so? This is because while identification of the trading setup will help in the proper timing of the trade, it is execution that ensures you take the trade, and execution involves nerves of steel, a disciplined approach and an ability to pull the trigger. Indeed, mastering of the technical setup and over analysis can lead to trading paralysis! That is why most traders hesistate to take the trades, letting some profit go away in the process. Therefore, while the first part of the success equation in forex trading is "Master the setup", it is the second part of the success equation which is "Master Thyself" that ensure the maximum success. To master thyself is to understand one's own trading risk profile, to be disicplined enough to take the trades and to ignore any element of emotion that seeks to make you deviate from a thoroughly well thought-out and defined strategy. Professional traders who are successful are "warriors" in their own right. They have paid their dues; they carry the wound marks as they trade themselves up through the ladder of success. It is when you are able to secure the help of a professional trader who can cast aside his selfishness (to want to keep his specialised trading knowledge to thimself) and someone who is willing to mentor you that you can quickly copy his techniques and personalize his strategies to become your own. Indeed, when you master the trading setups, and have master yourself, you will find forex trading to be profitable, and success will follow.
