Do you feel that as soon as you enter a trade, the market goes completely against you? You’ve entered a buy trade. What happens? The market drops. Well, if you do. I’ve got a great solution for you to help you with that problem. So let’s find out about that a more right now.

Hey there, Traders. It’s Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 591.

Why does the trade always go against you?

An issue that I find so many people feel that they have is they see a trade. They place a trade. Let’s say they place a buy trade on the EUR/USD and they’re expecting the market obviously to move up. Well, what happens when market moves down.

And they feel that as soon as they get into that buy trade the market’s changed direction. It falls against them. And they take a loss on the trade. And they feel frustration because it’s almost like the market knew I was ready to place a buy trade. And it waited for me to place that buy trade. And then it fell.

Why does that happen? Complete and utter frustration. And people feel it all the time. And they have done for years and years. And I know when I started trading, I used to feel exactly the same. So there’s a few things here to help you with.

Why do you enter the trade where you do?

When you place that buy trade, for example, why do you place that buy trade at the time you do? Do you place that buy trade? For a technical reason, let’s say if you’re a technical trader, do you place it at a just above a round number or just above a previous support level or a resistance level from a while ago now becomes a new support level, a swing low that may have been at that level already, or it’s the daily pivot point.

Or why do you place that trade? Do you have anything else to back the reason for entering that trade right now, other than “I’m ready, I’ve seen a set up, I’m placing buy”. Because if all you’re doing is placing by for some random reason, then why would the market suddenly go in your direction? Because quite often you might be finding that the market will keep falling back to that support level or something which is below your entry price. Don’t forget that most people place a trade because they happen to be ready, and that’s not how you should trade.

I use limit orders to enter a trade.   

For me in most of my trading, I’m mainly use what are called limit orders. So as a buy trade, for example, I’m entering below the current price and I enter the trades for a reason at that price for a reason.

So I’m not expecting just to randomly go buy sell, buy sell because I happen to be ready. What you should be doing is looking. Let’s say you’re talking about this same buy trade. And let’s say that the market’s been moving up really nicely and it pulls back rather than just buying randomly, more likely near the top of the market.

Wait for it to retrace and then into your buy trade. So when you think about this logically, with a buy trade, a buy limit order, I’m buying below the current price. So naturally I’m expecting the market to move in waves up and down, which it does naturally anyway. It’s just by using that buy limit order. I’m not sitting there waiting for it to keep coming back and back and back and back and back and now I’m going to press buy.

I’m not doing that. I’m seeing the trade set up and I’m saying I’m taking a buy trade here. If or when the price pulls back to this level first, and then I’m entering the buy order or the buy limit does that for me because I place that with my broker. And I’m, I’m then expecting to enter that buy trade and then the market to move back up again.

The great thing is that with the buy limit order, I’m not sitting there waiting for that price to come back and then having to manually enter the trade. I enter the buy limit order, place the trade. If it gets filled, it does great. And if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

Entering the market for a reason.

And by doing that, I’m entering for a reason. I’m not just randomly saying I’m taking a buy now. The market’s gone against me. Why does it always do that? Grumble, groan which most people tend to do. You need to be placing as a technical trader. You need to be placing these levels, your entry and your exit levels, and of course, your stop loss safety level for a technical reason. Don’t just randomly do it. If you’d like to find out more about how we can help you to overcome that frustration of feeling that the market’s going against you all the time.

Blueberry Markets as a Forex Broker.

And if you’re out there looking for a top quality broker, I can highly recommend that you take a look at and suggest and consider Blueberry Markets. They’re a great broker. Most people around the world can trade through them.
