Trading is just like any other business. A business has its ups and downs. You make profits and incur losses in business. Trading is similar to that. That said it is not easy to learn trading because it is too unpredictable and with so many gurus trying to give you tips and tricks to win you will find it entirely confusing. So what I learnt to be successful in trading is you should have your own method/trading plan and systems to trade. Try them out without investing any money – do paper trading – and when you are confident take small steps and increase your exposure slowly. Trading is just following the trend. Your system should tell you when to enter into and when exit either with a loss or profit from the trade. It should also tell you how much to invest in each trade and what is the maximum loss that you can bear on each trade. A traders goal should be to preserve his capital, so that he can continue trading. Many traders lose their money because either they are over trading or don’t have a plan. In no time they lose their entire capital and are out of business.
You can learn to trade on your own. There are many simple books that explain the basis of commodity trading for a beginner. By reading them you should be able to develop a trading plan that meets your requirements and your emotions.
