我们会留出一年的时间来实施我们接下来的计划，我们可以决定我们可以吃的更好，得到更多的锻炼以及改掉坏习惯。在节日的气氛中，我们要求我们的顶级外汇交易员根据新年的决议交易。您可能会得到令人惊奇的答卷。
我们想知道，是什么早就了一个成功的零售外汇交易员？ 如果你询问金融市场知识有限的人，他们常常会这样回答：“喜欢挑战风险的人”“牛仔”“要么成功要么成仁”。
然而,最近的一项民意调查为200 OANDA的表现交易员发现成功的交易者之间的共同主线是正好相反:不可磨灭的关注风险管理和纪律。事实上,当被问及新商人最重要的技能发展,压倒性的70%说,风险管理胜过一切。
关注风险管理反映出零售外汇市场已经成熟。曾经被视为异类市场，零售外汇吸引了一波又一波的严重,有纪律的交易者并且经过了深思熟虑的和有目的的方式管理他们的钱。这并不意味着你必须成为一个专业交易员该做的样子。事实上,超过一半的受访者说他们贸易零售外汇来补充收入的主要来源或爱好。换句话说,好的交易员无意“快速致富”。
考虑到这一点,2016年的新年这些精英交易员分享他们的四大风险管理。鉴于46%的受访交易员在开始交易外汇时没有交易经验,这些决议对在新的一年里想尝试外汇交易的人来说都应该是一个好的开始。

保持严格的原则
金融市场有时就像是过山车。根据顶级交易员,避免交易恶性竞争的关键是保持正轨。这意味着有纪律坚持预先确定的贸易规模,入口点和出口点,即使市场的状况非常恶劣。
成功的交易者的报告,他们积极记录不是来自大获胜,而是通过锐化和执行策略以一致的方式来体现。他们的重点是从长期来看把更多的利润从市场比他们放弃,而不是在短期内从个人专注于特定的成功或失败结果。
把一个战略平衡,符合您的首选的风险水平将有助于减少恐惧和压力,可以经常麻痹新交易员。这意味着把适量的交易贸易的潜在损失。
小心大比例杠杆
下大力气负大责任;而成功的外汇交易员都知道这个谚语，对杠杆尤其是如此。
杠杆可以带来利润,但是一旦失误可以摧毁一个交易员的工作。杠杆应该根据要求小心处理和部署。仅仅因为你有能力拔出最大利用,并不意味着你应该每次都使用杠杆。事实上,许多顶级交易员报告说他们很少利用他们所掌握的全部金额。
最重要的是,交易者想减少保证金平仓可能性,损失达到触发关闭订单的门槛。随着最小化账户杠杆水平最适合经验和风险偏好,限制开仓头寸的数量和使用更小的头寸也很关键的。
关注有效的现金管理,而不是“大获全胜”
纪律不仅仅是减少损失,而是保证你获胜必要条件。许多接受调查的交易员说,他们同样关注处理风险和收益的关系。
在长期的成功与其说是知道什么时候打电话给市场或者结合战略更多的获利了。一连串的好处可以吸引交易员使用长期战略进行交易,这可能会暴露他们冲动的缺点。
良好的现金管理也扩大交易规模,许多成功的商人开始交易规模相对较小,只有当然他们的收益增加时才会增加交易规模。
有一个平衡的、多方面的交易计划吗
除了止损,交易规模和杠杆之外,成功的交易员也使用一系列的信息来引导他们的策略。虽然知道顶尖的零售外汇交易员利用图表交易,许多接受调查的交易员说,他们也保持最新的宏观经济事件的获知。这样做是关键,因为交易机会在很大程度上是由更改或宏观经济的变化关系。这就是为什么我们的精英交易员需要一个多方面的交易计划,建立在多个源的信息的风险和机遇理解等于测量和尽可能明确。
这些决议表明成功取决于你如何交易,你交易着什么什么产品。纪律、专注和控制是关键。关注明年的这些决议,他们会很好地为你服务。
OANDA CEO: New Year’s Resolutions that Really Have an FX
OANDA surveyed their top 200 traders to find out what advice they might have for new traders.
This article was written by Ed Eger, President and Chief Executive Officer, OANDA. Ed commands 30 years of proven experience in growing businesses through customer-focused, disruptive technologies to consumers in markets around the world. Ed is an expert in growing businesses where technology and finance converge through maximizing benefits for retail consumers in both developed and emerging markets. At OANDA, he is focused on driving new solutions to meet the continually changing needs of its international client base.
It’s that time when we start to leave one year behind us and make our plans for the next. We may decide that we’ll eat better, take more exercise or break a bad habit. In the spirit of the season, we asked our top traders about their FX trading New Year’s resolutions. You might find the answers quite surprising.
We wanted to know, ‘what makes a successful retail FX trader?’ If you ask someone with limited knowledge of the financial markets they’ll often conjure up phrases like ‘big lovers of risk’, ‘cowboys’ and ‘they go big or they go home.’
However, a recent poll of 200 of OANDA’s top-performing traders has found that the common thread between successful traders is just the opposite: an indelible focus on risk management and discipline. In fact, when asked about the most important skill for new traders to develop, an overwhelming 70% said that risk management trumped all else.
This focus on risk management reflects how the retail FX market has matured over time. Once considered exotic, retail FX has attracted waves of serious, disciplined traders who are deliberate and purposeful in the way they manage their money. This doesn’t imply that you have to make trading a full-time gig to do well. In fact, over half of survey respondents said they trade retail FX to supplement a primary source of income or as a hobby. To put it differently, good traders have no intention of ‘getting rich quick.’
With this in mind, these elite traders have shared their top four risk management New Year’s Resolutions for 2016. And given that 46% of traders surveyed had no prior trading experience when they first started out in FX, these resolutions should be a good place to start for anyone thinking of trying out FX trading in the New Year.
Remain disciplined
Financial markets can feel like a roller coaster at times. According to top traders, the key to avoiding trade-induced nausea is to stay on track. This means having the discipline to stick with pre-determined trade sizes, entry points and exit points, even if the markets are taking your gut on a wild ride.
Successful traders report that their positive track records come not from big wins, but by sharpening and executing strategies in a consistent fashion. Their focus is on taking more profit from the market than what they give away over the long run, rather than concentrating on specific wins or losses from individual outcomes over the short term.
Putting a strategy in place that is balanced and in line with your preferred level of risk will help minimize the fear and stress that can often paralyze new traders. This means putting up the right amount of capital which allows you to make a worthwhile profit without risking too much on a loss. Stop losses can help in this regard – they reduce stress because you can gauge the potential loss of a trade.
Be careful about excessive leverage
With great power comes great responsibility; and successful FX traders know that this adage rings especially true with leverage.
Leverage can build profits, but with the wrong approach it can also destroy a trader’s work. Leverage should therefore be handled with care and deployed only in the situations that call for it. Just because you have the ability to unsheathe maximum leverage, doesn’t mean that you should every time. In fact, many top traders report that they seldom use the full amount at their disposal.
Above all, traders want to decrease the likelihood of a margin closeout, where losses hit a threshold that triggers the closeout of all positions. Along with minimizing account leverage to a level that best suits experience and risk appetite, limiting the number of open positions and using smaller position sizes is also key.
Focus on effective cash management, rather than the ‘big win’
Being disciplined isn’t just about minimizing loss, it’s about sticking to your game plan when you’re winning. Many of the traders surveyed said that they focus just as much on taking returns off the table as they do with risk.
Having success over the long term is less about knowing when to call the top of the market, and more about profit taking as dictated by the strategy. A succession of upsides can tempt traders to leave money on the table for longer then their strategy prescribes, which may expose them to sudden downsides.
Good cash management also extends to trade sizes, with many successful traders starting relatively small and increasing trade sizes only as they grow their earnings.
Have a balanced, multi-faceted trading plan
Beyond stop losses, trade sizes and leverage, successful traders use an array of information to guide their strategies. While it’s known that advanced retail FX traders utilize charts religiously, many of the traders surveyed said that they also keep up-to-date on macro-economic events. Doing so is key because trading opportunities are largely driven by changes or perceived changes in macro-economic relationships. That’s why our elite traders run off a multi-faceted trading plan, built on multiple sources of information so the risk and opportunities are understood in equal measure and are as clear as possible.
What these resolutions show is that success can depend on how you trade just as much as – if not more than – what you trade. Discipline, focus and control are key. Stick to these resolutions next year and they’ll serve you well.
