Many Forex traders are relying on scientific theories in their trading ventures to assist them in predicting the market. But is this really the way to go? It sounds good at first, for the Forex market is run by humans and human nature can be predictable. It follows then that the changes and spikes in the Forex market are easily foreseeable, right? We’ll see.
Let’s take a closer look at these scientific theories and see if they really can be trusted…
The most widely common systems that scientific traders use are taken from the ideas of W.D. Gann, Elliot, and Fibonacci. The systems created by them operate upon the assumption that the market flows according to science. But herein lies the contradiction. Human nature is not scientific and often not even logical. It is based on emotions, instincts, and reactions. Human nature does not operate on a set method or predictable standard, so why should we think that the market does? If there was a scientific theory to human nature, there would be no risk in trading, because we all would know exactly what would happen next and what the changes in the prices would be.
Unfortunately, Gann, Elliot, and Fibonacci never made much money with their theories of a scientific market. However, some traders refuse to see this and stick to their strategies rigidly. But if these theories truly worked well, wouldn’t everyone be following them? Obviously, they don’t work well, because many traders do not use them.
So if scientific theories of prediction are not the way to go, what can you do? If you want to make profit and succeed in the Forex market, you have to be acquainted with the correct way to trade and know which systems work and which can be relied on.
One critical thing to know and remember is that trading in the Forex market is a game of trading the odds. The Forex market is a market of odds and uncertainties, not facts and assurances and predictable certainties.
However, though this appears to make trading much more difficult, it really does not. If you learn to trade the odds and rely on a steady, tested strategy, you will make great profit and find that the Forex market is the best opportunity to succeed financially.
We humans are governed and greatly influenced by our emotions and the Forex market is subject to rises and falls because of the greed, rashness, and panic of some traders. But these fluctuations can be handled and turned for your own profit.
No matter what, Forex trading is always going to be a game of odds. It is inevitable that all traders will suffer losses and will lose some money they invested. Scientific methods of prediction that seem to hold the key to success will not change that, though.
But you can avoid many of these usual failures and losses by having a strategy that is based upon practice and perfection in a demo account where you can test decisions and systems. This simple, solid, reliable strategy is the crux of all successful Forex trading. You must have a system and you must stick to it, even if your emotions and instincts disagree.
If you keep your trading steady, simple, and reasonable, you will advance in the Forex market and make the profit you want.
