One of the main qualities for a Forex trader is Patience. We should stick to a trading plan and control our emotions every day. We should not plan to take all from the market, we are here for a small piece from the price fluctuation. It is very difficult to stick to this attitude, but practice makes perfect. Once we keep on doing the same, our subconscious mind would automatically place the right order. Do not pressurize yourself or fix any targets in trading. Just trade and stick to your plan. Your mind should be fixed and never panic thinking about something. Making a consistent profit in first few weeks and losing everything at end of the month makes no sense.
The main feature of global Forex market is that there is no centralized ground for holding trades as it for example takes place in stock market. All market players (banks, investment funds, hedge funds, insurance companies, brokers etc.) work in different time zones around the globe. As the result, rate fluctuation keep going all the time. Official time of market operation is 24 hours, 5 days a week from 8 p.m on Sunday till 11 p.m of Friday (UTC/GMT). Exception is state holidays when all financial bodies are out of duty. On holidays Forex market works unofficially as well but because of the low liquidity and activity volumes, it is rather hard to find liquidity suppliers on the market. During that time all financial operations take place between various financial entities, banks and more often upon urgent issues.
