When can you call yourself a successful trader

What success means? How will you know whether you are successful? When can you call yourself a successful trader? Actually, if you ask a Singaporean trader he or she might know the answer. He wouldn’t have to think twice to answer. The process of becoming successful is not as you assume. And your process of success will not be similar to another trader. Each and every trader will have unique ways to succeed. One trader’s success cannot be equalized to another. Even among Singaporean traders, you would hear different success stories.

When will you know if you have reached the ultimate? Most beginners struggle, they don’t easily find their place in the CFD market. But they can focus on the long-term goals if they want to become successful traders.

There are many traders who often proudly say they know all the art of trading. But if you ask them to show their portfolio they will never give you any clear answer. To be honest they are just showing off and trying to earn some respect. Those who really know how to trade this market have precise knowledge in this industry.

Always assess your trading performance and be honest with yourself. Never let your emotions to fool you as it will directly ruin your trading career.

When you are familiar with the market

You should not assume that trading success is only when you become a millionaire. Even if you are not a millionaire, you can call yourself a successful trader.

So, if you are familiar you are on your way to becoming a successful trader.

When you are ready to accept the losses

If you want to remain as a trader you should be ready to accept the losses. So, you can call yourself successful once you are ready to accept losses both mentally and financially. However, it can be pretty hard to accept the losses, but if you try your best, it wouldn’t be a big deal. The moment you are capable of handling losses, you are on the path to success.

When you can anticipate the market

Once a trader becomes familiar with the market he would know to anticipate the market. Most of the times his anticipation would be correct whereas, at times, it may go wrong.
