Dont Deny Reality

If you want to be a successful trader, you must make sure you do not deny reality in any phase of your trading. You cannot deny losses, price direction, mistakes you make, being undercapitalized, or a whole host of things you would rather not think about.

Many traders think the best way to deal with unpleasant ideas, events, or personal character flaws is to shut their eyes and pretend they don’t exist.

Let’s face it, trading can be difficult, at times very difficult and it's essential that you focus on reality. Denial takes your focus away from the very thing you need to be concentrating on—the action of prices—regardless of time frame. Your mind must be clear so that you can look at the market and see what is really there.

The way I learned to handle denial was to simply write down and confront all possible ideas I had trouble accepting. Some thoughts I could fix and others I just had to accept. But facing the truth of what and who you are is the only way to deal with denial. You have to realize that for the most part the only things you can change are in yourself. Other things you just have to accept. You have to accept the reality of slippage, for example. You have to realize that indicators often give false signals and that there is no magic moving average nor is there a magical oscillator.

You have to realize that some winning trades are just lucky trades and had nothing to do with your skill as a trader. By the same token, you will also experience the bad luck of having prices make a sudden and unexpected move against you.

Rather than wasting your time in denial, concentrate your mental energies on improving yourself and improving your trading skills. Work at improving your abilities to observe. Realize that you have to survive the markets in order to benefit from the experience of the markets.

There is really only one true problem with your trading—that problem is you! However, the problem manifests in two ways:
1. Market conditions have changed and you haven’t.
2. You are no longer doing what you did when you were winning. You have drifted. You are not consistent.

The first aspect of the problem is due to poor observation. The market has changed and you haven’t changed with it. Poor observation stems from a variety of lesser but very important problems. You have married a market, or a trade. You may have allowed your ego to get the best of you and you are no longer humble. I’ve named just a couple here. I challenge you to think about the many things that can distract you from seeing when market conditions have changed. Make a list of those things and confront them.

The second aspect of the problem stems from inconsistency. Here again, you should make a list of those things that cause you to be inconsistent.

"Perhaps I was a good trader at one time, but the market conditions have changed and I may not be able to keep my reputation up." This is an issue that all traders face at some point: keeping up their reputation. When one makes big profits trading, it's tempting to tell neighbors and friends how well you are doing. It's great when you're making the big profits, but keeping up appearances is often the downfall of even the most astute trader. Again, denying your need for fame and glory, or pretending that you can maintain an unrealistic reputation, will use up your psychological energy and interfere with your ability to concentrate. Huge profits tend to go to the humble, so try not to build up your reputation. Admit that you will have difficulty keeping up appearances and just quit doing it.

One fact that traders wrestle with continuously is the notion that, "Trading is not a legitimate job." Many traders struggle with the legitimacy of trading. Some traders find that they can simply remind themselves, "Trading provides liquidity and helps control prices." Other traders, however, think this isn't good enough and need to find more meaning in their daily trading activities. For example, they may focus on how trading helps them provide for their family, or may plan to donate some of their profits to charities they view as personally

valuable. The point is, don't deny the possible truth to such ideas. You will be better off acknowledging and working through them, and then just moving on. Denying they exist, on the other hand, will use up time and energy.

Unacceptable beliefs tend to lie in the back of your mind. They remain there, lurking, and when you are vulnerable, they can powerfully influence your outlook. So acknowledge unacceptable ideas, and once you admit the possible validity of such ideas, you will neutralize their potential influence. This will free up limited psychological resources, allowing you to focus all your energy on trading profitably and consistently.

Anything can goes

The US dollar has benefited from the strong ISM data

A slightly challenging start to the new month.

The US dollar has benefited from the strong ISM data, but the services ISM will now take on even greater importance.

The trend is down for the US dollar, but it is clearly trying to bounce just now and a break much lower in the Euro could trigger quite a substantial stop loss process for a lot of speculators still long the US dollar. The favoured scenario is the USD topping out here, but have to respect the immediate USD buying pressure at first today.

Forex Mid-Day Technical Report

Dollar Still in Range Despite Tamer Core Inflation

Dollar remains stuck in range against majors despite weaker than expected personal spending and tamer core inflation in Mar. Today's Mar personal income and spending data shows that inflation continues to moderate with core PCE deflator flat mom, dragging down the yoy rate from 2.4% to 2.1%, which is now much closer to Fed's comfort zone of 1-2%. Though, top line inflations high with PCE accelerating to 2.4% yoy. After all, the inflation part of the report is inline with the CPI report earlier which showed further moderation in inflation and should ease some of the concerns of Fed's members. Meanwhile, the unexpected slowing of personal spending to 0.3% casts some doubts on the underlying strength of US consumer. Other data saw Chicago PMI falling more than expected from 61.7 to 52.9 while construction spending rose 0.2%, inline with consensus.

Canadian dollar remains strong and surges against the greenback after the release of Feb GDP data which showed the growth of Canadian economy accelerated from 0.1% to 0.4% mom, much better than expectation of 0.2%. This is the fifth straight month of growth. USDCAD fell to as low as 1.1091 so far and is now close to 800 pips off this year's high at 1.1874 and is heading towards 06 low of 1.0930.

Released earlier, Eurozone M3 money supply growth continues to defy expectation and accelerated further to 10.9% in Mar, fastest pace in 24 years. Persistently strong upward momentum in M3 growth strengthen the case for further tightening by ECB down the road beyond the widely expected hike in June.
