Creating a trading plan around your trading strategy is critical for refining your trading approach and developing an organized and structured trading routine that will guide you when you switch to real money trading as well as help you avoid becoming an emotional trader. Your trading plan helps you stay true to your trading strategy and to the principals that you decided were best to trade with when you created your trading plan and when you were thus totally objective and unemotional. So, a Forex trading plan gives you a predefined guide to make your decisions off of while analyzing the markets, this allows you to make logical and objective trading decisions rather than the emotional knee-jerk trading decisions that so many traders end up trading off of.
