3 Forex Trading Habits That Almost Guarantee Results!
Ever heard of this saying?
“Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do.”
– William Makepeace Thackeray
Well, it's very true!
If you do the core things successful traders do, you'll eventually become successful yourself.
I'm NOT talking about things such as “waking up at 4:30 am” or “being positive”.
Those have been repeatedly mentioned and aren't that effective in my opinion.
What powerful, yet uncommon habits can make a change in your trading?
I definitely learned this the hard way!
But I wanted to share with you what I learned over the years…
Habit #1: Connecting With Other Traders
I've discussed the importance of meeting and surrounding yourself with successful traders countless times.
It's what allowed me to go from struggling to profitable in less than 6 months.
If you're always around traders of your current level, it's very hard to progress.
But if you leave your comfort zone to meet better traders, you'll never regret that decision.

Habit #2: Constantly Getting Fresh Starts
The idea of “fresh starts” is simple.
You should aim to get a clear mind as often as possible.
On the charts, that could be deleting all your drawings/indicators to start fresh.
In terms of lifestyle, aim to take a weekend away from home every 2 weeks.
The result of those fresh starts is for you to stay motivated and curious about trading and what you do.
You'll have much less discipline & focus issues
…if you're in the right mindset.

Habit #3: Improving Your Money Mindset
Your money mindset is defined by your thoughts and beliefs about money
…which eventually turn into actions.
While most people compare every price and try to save $0.05 on a can of tuna, you need to be comfortable with spending your money.
Similarly, trading losses shouldn't feel like a slap in the face.
They should feel like taking a step in the right direction.
If you can't do that, it'll be really hard to make a lot of money.
For instance, I spend around $5k on salaries every month.
I could get pissed off at spending that much…
But instead, I'm grateful to spend that money no matter what.
It's a huge growth compared to where I used to be!
