Pivot Points in Forex: Mapping Your Time Frame
Raul Lopez wrote a great article on using pivot points in forex trading. Pivot point indicates the sentiment of traders and investors at any given moment and gives a general idea of where the market is heading during the day.

Forex PsYchology: Straight from the heart
Forex PsYchology: Straight from the heart... Straight from the heart Trading is a battle against human survival instinct. It takes a long time to have a person s brain rewire to the point where trying to survive doesn t override what that person does during the middle of it when the heat gets turned up. Everyone loses accounts their first year no matter how well they were consistently doing demo trading because when emotions start happening it literally stops a person from being able to press the button out of pure fear.

TRADING: A MIND GAME
TRADING: A MIND GAME Must change my mental attitude first from a normal person to that of a speculator. Almost all traders simply waste all their time trying to learn the easiest part in perfection, like about how to read data and charts, and trying to perfect entry and exit skills, etc. Trading is a mind game and without having a right frame of mind, it is a losing game even before it starts. Training a trader s mind is the first step for any successful trader but almost all new traders neglect that part and that explains why more than 95 of traders are a failure in the long run.
