With the surge in cryptocurrencies, more traders have emerged even though some still don't understand what it really takes to be a good trader. At the beginning most traders enter with so much excitement, zeal and offcourse money to make all the millions but pretty soon they accumulate so much loss that they start to wonder what is going on. Making money trading can be very easy if only you understand how and what would help you make money trading.

Well first of all the market owes you nada! Some traders believe that the more they trade the larger their profit should be when actually reverse is the case. The market either crypto or forex is a really unpredictable place , it is not a casino hall. You don't just throw all your cards in and expect the entire market to favor you. The volatility of the space clearly shows there will be good and bad days which means you should stick to trading smart and not trading lucky. Take your time to study a particular trade or coin, how it has done in days, weeks or even months before stepping in. Like I said before while others may have been blinding you with the profits they made gambling instead of trading , it is only a matter of time before they start wallowing in losses that they wouldn't dare show you.

Second of all don't stop there. Some traders assume that once they learn certain tricks or techniques they have known it all and don't need to learn anything more. Funny because of course you'll continue to make profit within the knowledge you have limited yourself to. Take more trading classes, read more trading books and sharpen your skill set. The market is ever changing and old tricks might not be enough to help you meet daily or monthly goals. Make sure to spend to spend at least a hour or two to gain more insights on how to trade better.

Next you have to develop the right mindset. A good trader doesn't jump on trades or act irrational because overtime they have learn to take a smarter more relaxed approach no matter what comes their way, even when they make losses. When you have applied the right techniques, put the right risk control in place and made sure you studied the trade before entering of course you will be more relaxed. Even if you happen to make loss a good trader knows it's only a matter of time before the market picks and you are back in profit. Developing a good mindset isn't something anyone is born with, you develop it overtime with experience and that's the only way trading will become easier and more profitable for you.

Some people might find it hard to develop this mindset because they let their emotions lead the way. The market doesn't care if you have made $100 in loss and won't give you preferential treatment either. Fear, a major emotion that keeps traders from making intelligent decision because they are scared of making losses. Well if your fear of making losses drives your decision it is certain that you will keep making losses so rather than be pulled by your fear, learn to be professional and see a bigger picture . For others ego, greed and other emotions are factors holding you back from making good trading decisions.

Trading can either be a blessing or a curse until you learn to develop a better mindset and make efforts to become a better trader.
