Well let's examine some of the options you have. In my experience you basically have three choices. Emotional Control: You have to develop a disciplined approach to the forex market, execute by the numbers for buys and sells, and prevent your emotions from interfering with the process. There is a psychology to trading, and you can be your own worst enemy if you do not follow a fixed routine. Many novice traders are unaware of the mental attitude necessary for successful trading.

As most Forex brokers will warn you, you can loose money in the foreign exchange market, so don't put your life savings into any one trade.

The key to money management in Forex trading is to always know the exact dollar amount you have at risk before entering a trade and be TOTALLY OK with losing that amount of money, because any one trade could be a loser. More on money management later in the course.
