New forex traders, the promise of quick riches is difficult to resist. That is the main reason why every day, so many people from all walks of life begin trading the forex market. While some element of this "keep your eyes on the prize" mentality is necessary to get traders through the tough times, on any given trading day one should really focus on other things first. When contemplating any kind of trade set up, a trader MUST understand that no matter how perfect the setup is, it is possible for something to go wrong and the trade may end up being a loser. That’s ok – it happens to everyone. Inherent in the forex market is a certain degree of randomness. That is not to say that the market is completely random – it isn’t – but it is so complex that a certain degree of randomness must exist. It is simply not possible to have all the information that all market participants are reacting to, or to predict how any of them will react to said information. Moreover, this randomness is necessary for the proper functioning of any financial market: If everyone knew the direction of the market, then there would be no market - a market depends on there always being a buyer and a seller. The randomness cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed. So back to our perfect setup that failed: how could this have happened? Well, as luck would have it, as a part of its quarterly internal accounting procedure, some random multinational corporation just happened to be buying the currency that you sold, driving up its value – that is, moving the price against your position, and triggering your stop loss order. If you were smart, and you managed this randomness, or risk, in a logical manner, you can take the loss in stride and live to trade another day. This is just a part of what every trader may have to go through on any given dog-day afternoon.

For many people, forex trading is a new way of making money. Some think that it is too hard to make money there. Others think that it is a full scam. There is also a group of people who think that trading is a piece of cake so they put their hard earned money on a trade and lose everything.
