A Profitable Forex Trading Strategy.
Searching for success.
There are 100s of Forex trading strategies that are used by traders, but not all of them have the potential to be profitable. Traders spend a lot of time searching for a profitable trading strategy, but the majority of them never find a strategy that they have enough confidence in, to enable them to trade with big money.
Many traders think that the reason they are not making money consistently, is because of a lack of discipline. They believe that their losses are down to their own inability to follow a profitable trading strategy, when in fact the real reason they cannot make money is because their strategy is weak.
I agree that discipline plays a major part in the success of every trader, and it is something that is very hard to truly master, but you also have to have a proven trading strategy to work with, or you have no chance of success. When you trade with a great strategy, and you have mastered discipline then you will become a very successful trader.
Finding a profitable trading strategy.
The problem faced by many traders is finding a strategy that has the potential to make profit consistently in the Forex market. This was a major problem for me when i first started out, as i did not know what worked and what did not work.
Would i be wasting my time and effort trying to learn something that would never be able to make money consistently. I know that this is a problem that many traders face. You can waste years learning and back testing strategies, only to find out that they do not work, and its very frustrating.
I am fortunate that i am a quick learner, so it took me a lot less time to wade through all the crap and get to the really good strategies that can make you lots of money.
Are you a frustrated trader?
When you first start on your Forex journey you inevitably come across many Forex training websites that will claim to be able teach you how to trade. So many traders will invest a few 100 bucks in something and start to learn what is being offered.
After a number of months or even years of learning, the majority of traders are left frustrated because of their lack of profitability.
I know of many such websites and training providers that claim to be this that and the other, but in reality they do not understand the business at the level required to be able to offer training, and although they are not charging a fortune for their services, its the time that you lose that’s the real killer.
The lost years learning to trade.
It is very important that you find the right trading strategies to learn, as it takes years to be a truly great trader. Yes you can be profitable in a few months with the right training, but to be consistent week after week month after month will take a lot more time.
Time is an extremely valuable commodity that some people do not fully respect. Yes you may have lost a few 100 bucks learning something that doesn’t work, but how long has it taken you to find out, and how many more strategies will you learn, that do not work either.
You can get back the money you have spent on these crap websites when you finally learn how to trade, but you will never get back the time that they have taken from you. I have been there, i have wasted my time on their shit too, and although the money is insignificant, the time that they have taken from you is very significant, and lost forever.
The strategies i teach.
I trade and teach many strategies, but everything i teach makes money. I do not teach strategies that are not profitable. I value time above everything else, we are not on this planet for very long and your time and mine is very precious, and i would never take time from anyone and teach them crap that does not work.
My Forex training course is not cheap, but its worth every penny i charge and more. The knowledge that i have about the Forex business has been built up over years and years of chart study, time that i will never get back, but its been time invested wisely by learning some really great stuff that i can now pass on to my students.
Knowledge + Time = Success.
This simple formula is all you need to be a great Forex trader, but the most important part of the formula is knowledge.
Time on its own will not bring you success. Time will bring knowledge, and the more time you invest, the more knowledge you will have, and the closer to success you will be, but learning to trade this way is the wrong way in my opinion.
The quickest way to learn, is to find someone with the knowledge you need, and invest the time with them, and success will come much quicker. If you have ever learned anything in your life you will most likely have learned it from someone else. Learning to read, learning to drive, learning your job, so why would learning to trade Forex be any different?
