Essential Skills of Master Traders

Skills of Master Traders

Trading is one of the most decent professions in the world where the first thing you have to know about is how to trade safely. This is the riskiest market in the world and making any mistake means the risk exposure increases.

Becoming a trader is not a hard task but if you want to be a profitable trader and earn a decent amount of money from trading, you must have to be a master of trading, while having a good invoice template is an added advantage. No one is born a master trader. Rather, they increase their analytical skill through lots of practice.

A trader who trades with a big investment capital and dresses well doesn’t mean he is a master trader rather than a master trader who has certain criteria which makes them different from other traders and very few traders can reach that level in trading. In this article, we are going to talk about a few essential skills that differentiate a random trader from a master trader.

Research and Analysis

If you want to be successful in trading, you need to have to be keen on both fundamental and technical analysis. A master trader can go through all the variables that can affect the trading market and opens a position by taking proper safety measures.

They research in a way that enables them to identify the impact of factors on the market more accurately. Master traders develop their trading skills in such a way that they can use the market information to their advantage no matter which trend is going on.

The CFD market is so volatile that only by doing research and acting accordingly to it is not enough by itself. You need to have analytical skills which will give you the power of communicating with the market.

To becoming a master trader we suggest that you not give more focus on money rather than focusing on taking action at right time. A master trader mainly focuses on the movement of the market rather than how much profit they want to make from a signal.

Adapting the market with changing market condition

The CFD market is the most volatile market where the market never stops his movements rather than the market makes slow or fast movements. Due to that, a trader can find potential signals every minute but as different traders trade differently, finding a trade according to your trading personality is quite hard if you cannot adapt yourself with all types of market conditions.

Like if there is a slow movement in the market, a scalper might not think about trading at that time but a day trader can find a signal from that type of movement. This is where a master trader has an advantage because they can develop themselves in such a way that they can adapt to the market in all type of market conditions.

This is why the market can change frequently but a master trader in the Mena region will always be able to find a potential opening position. You can also read more about the elite traders on the Saxo Bank website.

Staying alive in the game 

In the CFD market, you can only make money. Without a decent balance, you cannot even open a position. We all know trading is not a safe profession but it is true if you know trading and you can keep your account balance safe, you will earn money eventually. But you cannot trade without any risk. You should follow a risk management plan to reduce your risk exposure.

A master trader always tries to stay in the trading game by following a well-maintained money management rule and they never take unnecessary risks which increase his risk exposure. He knows that he can only earn a decent amount of money if he has a decent amount of trading capital.

So, if you are a new trader and want to reach the rank of a master trader, try to improve your skills step by step.

AXA Mansard Offers MSME Customers Free Exhibition Stands at Fair

Axa Mansard

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

Customers of AXA Mansard in the Micro Small and Medium Scale Enterprise (MSME) sector of the economy will enjoy free exhibition stands at the Made by Nigerians Fair.

The fair is scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Landmark Event Centre, Lagos.

To support small business owners, AXA Mansard is paying for stands for selected entrepreneurs to showcase their products at the fair, which attracts thousands of people.

According to the Head of Marketing at AXA Mansard Insurance Plc, Mr Olusesan Ogunyooye, this is another gesture by the company to show that MSMEs can benefit from having insurance.

He described MSMEs as the backbone of any economy, noting that they drive innovation, create jobs, and contribute significantly to national development.

“Our support for these businesses at the MBN Fair reflects the commitment to their growth and sustainability.  We are passionate about helping them reach their full potential by connecting them with resources and opportunities that foster success.

“By the very nature of insurance, its benefits are in the future and they are uncertain. That has been a main source of discouragement, particularly to MSMEs. Businesses are geared to making money.

“So, when thinking about insurance, an average MSME would rather invest the money in the growth of his business first.

“The risks that businesses face are also real. There are various types of risks businesses have to contend with today; from burglary to fire, the health of employees, and so on.

“When these risks manifest, they can significantly impact a business negatively. We understand that to get MSMEs to protect themselves and the millions of jobs they create, we must help them strike a balance between growing their businesses and protecting them.

“So, we have come up with different Initiatives to help them grow their businesses. The opportunity to exhibit their products and services to thousands of visitors to the MBN Fair is another in the series of our initiatives.

“We are convinced that for insurance to grow, we need to help people and businesses see it as a strategic lever to grow their businesses, not a cost that takes away from them. If we get this right, it can’t have a massive impact on our economy because, when MSMEs thrive, the economy will prosper.

“We have experimented with this model, and we are particularly excited about the responses from our customers. It is a call for us to do more, and we are committed to Nigerian MSMEs,” Mr Ogunyooye stated.
