I wanted to take the time to talk to you about the critical forex trading decisions. You can sum up the biggest problems in society are caused by someones inability to make a decision. That’s what it is all about. Decisions are what count and often people in forex trading don’t have the first clue on what they should be making decisions on.

Cutting Losses

Probably the toughest decision to make. All of us start thinking, “after I sell – it’ll go back up”. Yeah, that could happen, but it really doesn’t happen that often. You need to make decisions fast before you lose out. Cutting your losses is an important part of doing this.

Analyze or Move

Many people get stuck in the analyzing mode, which is basically an inaction or no decision. Analysis is important because if you don’t know what you’re getting into, you could be making a bad trade. Never skimp on the analysis, but eventually you’re going to have to act. Basically, I act when I’ve extracted as much as I can get out of a trade. That’s not to say everything, but there is a point where the remaining information is just useless to the decision.

When to Sell

None of us want to sell when something is going up and making us money. We all know that it won’t go up forever, but while it is rising, it is hard to let go. You need to recognize that the chances of you selling this on the peak are slim to nill. Make a decision of when you’re going to sell and move on.
