My take on the skills of a forex trader is the knack for getting inside information. Forex valuation depends on the economy of a country that the currency increases in value depending on the performance with the goods and services that are traded with other countries. Another factor is the amount of the dollar reserves which is the measure used for the currencies. A speculator has to know many information and it is not easy unless you have the right connections.

The basic skills I will advise you to develop are: increase your shock absorbing ability, always be ready to lose your money because nothing assures you your money isn't gonna be lost to trade. prepare for the worse but hope for the better. a lot of people have died of shock due to some loss incurred as a result of forex.

The reason many forex traders fail is that they are undercapitalized in relation to the size of the trades they make. It is either greed or the prospect of controlling vast amounts of money with only a small amount of capital that coerces forex traders to take on such huge and fragile financial risk.

Trading forex can be a great way to diversify a broader portfolio or to profit from specific FX strategies.

My interpretation of the abilities of a forex dealer is the skill for getting inside data. Forex valuation relies upon the economy of a country that the money increments in worth relying upon the presentation with the merchandise and ventures that are exchanged with different nations. Another factor is the measure of the dollar saves which is the measure utilized for the monetary forms. An examiner needs to know numerous data and it is difficult except if you have the correct associations.

One skill every trader needs is the ability to analyze data quickly. There is a lot of math involved in currency trading, but it is represented through charts with indicators and patterns from technical analysis. To the inexperienced eye, the data is worthless, consequently, traders need to develop their analytical skills so they can first understand the charts and develop their own technique to study the trends and patterns, presented by the charts. This is the stage of technical analysis.The better you can understand the data presented, the more effective decisions you can make, in terms of whether the trade is worth taking, or moving onto another currency pair, and analysing those. Most successful FX traders are proficient with their technical analysis, and then combine that with certain indicators, to predict a profitable trade, based on the systems they are using.

As for me, the basic skills are not really much. Firstly, you should be conversant with pressing phones very well, then you have to be able to develop shock absorbing ability against losses because losses are inevitable in forex trading. However profits making should be your last expectations to be on a safer side.
