A lot of things in Forex trading and generally in our lives are simply outside of our control.
You may have the perfect signal, or in fact, a multitude of signals - all converging and agreeing that a particular currency pair should be moving higher or lower. Nevertheless, there is always some probability that any signal or setup will fail and the market will go in the opposite way. But the important thing to realize is that we can not control the outcome of the trading setup and therefore the chance of being wrong should not disturb us.
How is this even possible? What is the problem? This will be the topic of today’s article.

The doubt soon turns into worry which soon turns into fear and that soon causes the trader to emotionally act on his/her positions.
You have probably noticed that we frequently talk about the 50, 100 and 200 period moving averages in our daily and weekly posts that are regularly published in the FxTradingRevolution news section.
Considering that one of the basic rules of technical analysis is essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy, it’s no wonder that these 3 moving averages work so well in the Forex market. Basically, the more people look at and trade by the same price level the more likely it is for that price to be important in some way (i.e. to be a point of reversal). Since a lot of traders are plotting the group of the 50, 100 and 200 moving averages on their charts, it only makes them a more reliable trading indicator.
