The Job of the Forex Day Trader

Forex Day Trading can be very lucrative. No matter what type of market you chose to day trade you must know the "personality" of the market you are trading. Every market has its own characteristics and it is important to know what they are before attempting to profit from it. The forex market is no different. In this article we will go over very important general day trading principles/rules and then we will see what a day trader has to recognize when specifically day trading the forex market.

As the term implies, day traders are concerned with what happens in the market today. Not tomorrow, not next week and not next month, but today. Forex day trader's job is to capture intraday price swings. Depending on the system or trading method employed, this can mean capturing one intraday swing or various intraday swings.
The general job of a Forex day trader is: To be disciplined.

This principle is key for any type of trading but particularly for forex day trading. If I had to name one single aspect of a day trader that can make him or her a winner or a loser it is discipline. You can have a so-so system but still make money if you are disciplined. However, you can have the best trading system in the world but if you are not disciplined I guarantee you will not be a successful trader. So, what is all this discipline everyone talks about when discussing trading? Very simple, it's respecting and strictly following your forex trading plan, your forex trading system, your money management rules, and your commitment to the business.
