Realistic Expectations About Forex Trading

By Randall Embry

Ill be addressing an ongoing problem Ive increasingly noticed over the years with many of the traders in the industry. Most are dreamers at best, irresponsible at worst, each with some grand theory or scheme for getting the most bang for their buck with trading, especially in the area of FX trading. These people have little to no foundation in trading, instead preferring to do things the fast and easy way instead of the right way. And all of them think if they can just make that perfect trade then theyll be sitting pretty.

Unfortunately this attitude is shared by many of the traders in the market, and is the reason that so many corporations and pro-traders can make millions hand over fist. The market uses the hundreds of millions brought in from these types of traders and doles it out those who are in reality seeing the real patterns and opportunities available.

Starting off, you need to know two extremely important things: focus and help. To be focused, you must know what you want, how you are going to get there, and your own ability.

There is no point in jumping into the investment world if you only focus on the unrealistic and catchy and fail epicly in the end, much to the liking of other traders.

Day in and day out, I witness traders who become investors immediately, retaining a lot of the cash they acquired in the market without having the first clue about how to put it to work. This strategy has its advantages in any market, but it will pay off big only when the market goes through its next upheaval, and that won't come for decades.

Consider what you want from your career. The time has come to pay attention to people who know what they are doing. These people have lots of experience in the trading market and can point out the errors you are making.

The other essential thing I said newcomers should have is help. That can take two forms: mental and technical. At this point, I want to discuss the technical aspect. This can be found in forex systems and EAs, which have found themselves lately in the position of market fad. It would be a good idea to put some money into a low-level EA, which is available all over the Web. Take it and ride with it through the live account.

From personal experience testing several EAs I can say that its a worthy use of your time and money and while some did lose me money, most actually made me more money steadily over time. Some are also trader dependent, making how you trade equally important as your trade can be amplified by a specific EA. Keeping these tips in mind can keep you from missing out on the FX trade and from making unnecessary mistakes in the market. - 23223
