Top 5 Mistakes Traders Make


Market is always volatile and dynamic. Some mistakes can really make a dent in your trading account. Here are some of the top mistakes traders make and I'm sure most of you and I have made before too.

1. Trading too big or over trading. Though it may provide huge rewards when you are right, large losses can quickly dwindle your trading account.

2. Revenge trading. Going back to action after a heartbreaking loss most likely to result into emotional trading and more loss.

3. Being emotional while trading. I admit, it is difficult when prices are hovering so near to your stop loss or profit target. Best to look away or close your position and relax.

4. Trading someone else's trading strategy which you have no idea how it works. Learn, break it down, understand and assimilate into your own trading style.

5. Straying from the trading plan. Just like moving your stop losses further away, ending in bigger losses. Stick with the plan unless your gut feeling tells you something is wrong.

The Weekly Review: Aussie Correction

EUR/USD continues on with its rally this week but dampened by an incoming correction on Friday. Yen crosses like GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, USD/JPY continued to show weakness in this week. The strong one for this week was the Aussie where AUD/USD and AUD/JPY showed massive strength as the rate cut for Aussie was already priced in and it continued to spur this correction rally. AUD/USD might show weakness next week for those who are on the short side.

US Stocks

Dow Jones Index seemed to drop off from its high.

Commodities
