The Traders: Mistakes And Advices

The traders: mistakes and advices

Unfortunately, most traders are often get caught by the same traps that could be avoided when followed certain rules. So, let’s discuss them now.

1.Buying on top

Most traders open their positions when they have to be closed. By Elliot’s theory it’s a moment of 3rd and 5th waves ending. You would surely have some chances to get the big tip but the risks are greater. Resulting such actions a trader gets a little profit but promptly the rates move down and a trader suffers losses. To avoid that always remember:
-if the volumes increase and the rates are on top of the market and prices don’t rise than you should never buy;
-buy only at the market that is growing and volume supported and in case there was a resistance level breakout;
-to every buy there’s a sell where a trader finishes his long deal or enters in short position;
-the currency prices and volumes always make trajectories characterized by same direction.

2. Selling at base

It’s also a frequent mistake. It is a reverberation of previous one for here we have a mix of volume increase and rates decrease. People may lose lots of money on that for with short position you may not hold the market growth. So, remember:
- if the volume grows and prices are at the market base you should never sell. Use it when all support levels are broke and there’s no predisposition for prices drop;
-sell only at the market that is going down and is supported by volume and in case of support levels breakout.
