Most of investors decide according to global information and indicators. Investors do not jump in market as per the news they look at from newspapers morning. They make enough effort and allocate time to learn market better and obtain necessary information. According to many brokers, entering in market with detailed and international information taken in day is most essential reason for success. Successful Investor relies himself/herself and his/her information and do not enter in trading depending on uncertain resources.

The best method for Forex is that Money management is seen as a part written trading plan. You should make budget of your capital. If your risk is not more than 2% of your capital you can survive even in a few bad trading. Another important approach related to money management is rate of risk and profit.

5- Trading in the direction of trend:

Common view of many successful investors is that trading should not be made against trend. Positions should not be entered from upmost and lower most. Graphics helps you to see trend points and where market will be returned in order to prevent big losses. Furthermore, this information will assist you about when you should exit from your position winning. You should recognize well the difference between trend market and trading market.

7- Starting with enough capital:

In reality, it is not only starting with enough capital. Although some investors start with great quantity, they may not win. Since, they do not have written trading plan and the rules of powerful money management. In addition they lack of discipline to sustain these. Starting with little capital and applying all rules are better than starting with much money and making careless trading.  Well then what amount figure will be enough?. This completely depends on your trading plan and how much risk you will take in a trading. Furthermore, it also depends on what part of your capital you will use as margin. If you allocate 5% part of your capital as risk, then you should keep 10.000 dollar in your account. It would be 500 dollar in a trading for this figure. However brokers say solid start should be made in the beginning. If your risk rate per trading is 2%, then 25.000 dollar will be in your account and you will not take loss more than 500 USD. You will determine Stop level according to that.

8- Continuance of the position winning:

A good plan will help you to sustain your profit. Good plan will eliminate your feelings while deciding. Good plan will say you that: “If market trend continues in accordance with your trading, then you should put “follow stop” to protect your profit. This level can be amended according to market when necessary. But this level should not be put far away. Good plan will remind you at the same time: “If main reasons in the beginning of trading are still valid and technical indicators approve trading, trading should not be closed. If profit rate of 50% is present, then you can close trading. If conditions allow, adding additional trading to your trading winning should be permitted. Writing of price levels and profit targets are important. In addition, while this written guide should hinder his/her leaving with small profit while basic and technical indicators offers investor to sustain his/her position. However, basic and technical indicators do not certify continuance of position; it should provide leaving position immediately. Furthermore investor should look at resources of coming information well while she/he is in the position winning and should be careful while giving decision.

9- Non-use of feelings while making trading:

In the interviews we have carried out with best investors, we have seen they make their trading without joining their feelings. They do not invest themselves in trading and thanks to this their leaving trading become easy. Unlike some investors, they do not enter in trading to meet their excitement needs and save from trouble. Emotional fears inhibit investors to exit from position in loss. Therefore a successful investor makes preparation logically not emotionally and decides by looking at figures, news.
