Happy New Year. Advice for traders (2026)Euro / United States DollarCMCMARKETS:EURUSDSamuel_Morton_TraderIt's 2026! I remember ushering in the millennium... That was 26 years ago! Time flies 🚀 It is not just the start of a new month, but the start of a new year. New plans. New goals. New dreams. What's on your list? I will have several goals. Trading-related and unrelated. I'm going to spend some time tomorrow morning pondering and writing. I feel motivated. It helps that I've been off for the last month 🤣 But in all seriousness, I'm optimistic. I look forward to trading. Here is my top advice for traders in 2026: 1️⃣ Keep up to date with financial market news. Trust me, your understanding of the markets and trading opportunities will increase significantly. The easiest way to do this is to watch Bloomberg TV (it's free) and TradingView's News page. 2️⃣ Diversify your trading. Don't just trade your norm. Instead, look for long-term opportunities in stocks and ETFs. Consider trading more currency pairs and indices. The more you watch, the more opportunities you'll see. Don't spread yourself too thin, but don't limit yourself to a single currency or market. TradingView offers charting for all markets and products. From my single terminal, I can access tens of thousands of charts, including exotic FX, global stocks, and commodities, to name a few. 3️⃣ Keep records. The easiest way to do this is to link your trading account to a third-party site or app. If you have the time and expertise, keep your own records in Excel or a similar tool. You need to track your overall performance, your performance by month and by currency pair or market, your win rate, your average loss, and your average win. 🤞🤞 for a great 2026! Peace out.
