13 Mistakes Almost Every Trader Makes

Human beings make mistakes, but not every mistake costs money. In the world of Forex, every mistake has a price tag on it. To help you learn more from others’ failures rather than your own, we’ve picked out 13 of the most common mistakes of traders according to forums. Make a good use of this list!

The lack of a systematic approach - No matter how godlike your trading style is, you won’t always do well without a cheat sheet. There should always be a plan, the other thing is that your plan can and should be adjusted under changing conditions.
Lack of algorithm - Without the algorithm, the risk of losing the deposit increases manifold. A clear algorithm implies a step-by-step sequence of your actions depending on the trading situation.
Not placing stop-loss orders - With this approach, the trader is sure to be knocked out of the market sooner or later. The more profit you make in the beginning, the harder the blow will be when you lose it all. A good trader never takes a risk and puts a stop loss where it’s needed.

Welcome to 2021 with FXOpen. Thank you for trading with us!

First of all, let us thank you for being FXOpen’s loyal clients. We do and will continue to do everything in our power to provide you with the best user experience possible, especially at such an important time for the markets. In 2020, we were able to put on a few exciting initiatives — with your help, of course. And this little digest is designed so that we can celebrate our accomplishments together. Let’s go!

More trades, more traders!

We are incredibly happy that so many traders trust us, both beginners and professionals. Each of you is very important for FXOpen, and we want you to have access to the markets and instruments that are profitable for you.

The trader centricity concept embodied

We constantly monitor market news and customers’ requests to match the image of the broker that puts traders’ interests first. Observing the growing demand for trading in complementary products like stock CFDs, we provide the opportunity to trade multiple asset classes from a single account on the TickTrader trading platform — Forex, stocks, indices, crypto, and commodities. At the moment, 600+ stock CFDs are available for trading. We have also reviewed our relationships with liquidity providers, and can now provide you with some of the best prices on the market. As a cute bonus, we also added branded stickers and Instagram masks for those traders who are active users of social media.

FXOpen around the world

Clients from all over the world are equally important to us, that’s why we try to make FXOpen services available in as many different regulations as possible. And we are very proud to have a new Cyprus broker as part of our family. Since August 2020, it has been offering quality services under the name FXOpen EU, allowing the company to strengthen the brand presence within the European region.

FXOpen team growing strong

We’ve grown significantly over 2020, which means that next year we’ll be able to provide you with even more profitable opportunities and introduce new solutions for seamless trading. Each member of our team makes every effort to ensure that you have the tools and information you need. We have enough resources to fulfill your requirements with the highest quality. At the same time, we do not practice enterprise methods, and take a personal approach to every client issue.

A new solution to ensure maximum trading comfort

Our main task is to provide our clients with all opportunities for profitable trading. We want traders to make money, that’s the whole point of our functioning model. For a comprehensive trading experience, you need an appropriate platform with the widest functionality, and we believe that TickTrader is the solution. It’s easy to use, and it meets the multitude of requirements from every type of trader, from beginner to institutional.

Stay tuned for new updates in 2021!

Of course, we’re not ready to rest on our oars. FXOpen is looking forward to bringing you some important updates in 2021. FXOpen prime is a top-notch institutional trading solution that is aimed at professional traders, with tight pricing and consistent execution. Also, the knowledge base will get a sleeker look and easier navigation, and the FXOpen website will get a brand new layout — we’ll refrain from spoilers for now, but you will surely like it. And last but not least, for those who are ready to demonstrate their skills in trading and want to win a big money prize, we have a special event arranged!

Stay tuned!

Thank you!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
SEE YOU IN 2021!

What to Consider in 2021 Global Financial Markets?

While the year is not over yet, everyone looks at what lies ahead. But how to better prepare for the next year’s trading opportunities without looking back at the events that marked 2020?

So many things happened that it is impossible to discuss them all in this article. Instead, let’s have a look at what influenced financial markets in 2020 and can also have a say in what the markets will do in 2021.
COVID-19 Pandemic

Unfortunately, 2020 will be a year remembered for the coronavirus pandemic and everything that it brought with it. Caught completely by surprise, the world reacted with a lag. Lives were lost, and industries were disrupted. Small businesses were affected the most, with many closing their doors indefinitely.

Governments and central banks reacted the only way they knew – by printing money and offering loans to incredibly low interest rates. Brave wannabe entrepreneurs took a chance in the hope that 2021 and beyond will be better.

Hope does exist. Vaccines are rolled out all over the world. Studies show that the efficacy of the many vaccines that already exist is enough to stop the pandemic in the second half of 2021.

2020 Financial Events to Impact 2021

For financial markets, 2020 brought some incredible developments. First, it brought the fastest dive from a bull to a bear market in history. By definition, when the stock market corrects more than 20% from the highs, it reaches a bear market – in March 2020, the drop came so fast as never before.

Second, the price of oil settled into negative territory. For the first time in history, investors learned that the price of a commodity could settle for negative values. Basically, producers paid for someone to come and take the oil off their hands as no storage facilities existed anymore.

Third, the global negative-yielding debt surged close to $20 trillion. As the chart above shows, the trend stalled somehow during 2015 and 2017 but closed the year at record highs. Debt with negative yields show investors willing to lend money to an entity (e.g., sovereign, corporation) that pays them back less than the original amount invested.

Fourth, Brexit came to an end a few days ago. The United Kingdom and the European Union reached a trade deal that was responsible for much of the price action swings in the GBP pairs for the entire year. Starting with January 1st, 2021, trade between the two takes a new dimension. It is hard to envision now the benefit of Brexit for both the United Kingdom and the European Union. Perhaps it will become obvious somewhere in the future, perhaps not – but at this point, Europe looks weak.

Finally, the United States prepares for a new administration at the White House. It brings new air after four years of controversial policies run by Trump’s administration. It also brings a new head of the Treasury, none other than the former chairwoman – Janet Yellen.

If and when the pandemic ends, the world’s economies have a long way to full recovery. The events mentioned above left deep wounds that cannot heal easily.
