Currency trading can become an addiction. We feel like we need to be in a trade all the time. So we start putting on trades with weak signals, then we have losses, lose our confidence, and become afraid to enter the market. Then we wonder why we cannot trade.
Just trade with a plan, a good system, and a good set of indicators that you can read and trust. If you do this you will trade with a purpose and not just click to be clicking. We see many people that have made some good money on a trend then give it all back when the market took a break.
This is one reason we suggest to become good at using indicators rather than become good at one currency pair and have it give you money and take it back again. If you use the indicators rather than one or two currency pairs, then there will be more trades to keep you in the market longer. Usually when one currency pair is flat, there is another pair that is doing something. Currency pairs do not move and rest all at the same time. We feel that it is better to become good at a system rather than good at one currency pair.
If the market is flat then take a break. You will feel better and enjoy trading more when you come back.
