Random article: How emotions affect your trading and cause losses

We always hear people saying to control our emotions and trade carefully but we never understand them until we realize what they mean in fact. Below we will discuss this issue in details. Consider an example where we know how emotions lead you to lose: Suppose you have $500 of capital and you are trading. You took a high risk and thus you have lost $200. What finally remained is $300, you get frustrated and open again with an even more risky trade. Again you lose and come to $100. By following the same pace, you will end with zero balance. Let's analyze. You started with capital of $500 and lost $200 with $300 remaining. Your intention is to recover losses immediately and this is what we call an emotion. You have only thought of recovering money and you do not even think whether that situation is suitable for opening a trade or not.

A number of reversal patterns is indicated in Forex: Head and Shoulders, Double top, Double bottom, Triple top, Triple bottom, Diamond. Head and Shoulders Top – is a classical reversal pattern of technical analysis, which is formed following to a long upward trend. The model is considered to be fair reliable and is often formed. But despite above-mentioned, many beginning traders do not manage to take profit using this graphic pattern. The reason is that positions are opened prior to forming this model. Let's figure out the structure of the figure and its formation on the chart of trading terminal. The model consists from three subsequent price extreme points, the middle one is higher than others (head), and the rest two are below the middle one and are roughly equal (shoulders). All three uphills are supported by the neck line.
