Is forex trading for me ?

What you should know about Forex ?

Before you make any commitment to begin trading, I believe you musthonestly ask yourself, "Is forex trading for me?" Many programs willtell you anyone can make money trading the currency markets. But thereality is, for most, failure is inevitable. Why do so many people fail at trading? The short answer is - no training. 90% of trading is psychological; the other 10% is technical knowledge. So your successis based on how you approach becoming a trader. Here are the three primary reasons why those who pursue trading fail:

Lack of commitment.
Lack of knowledge.
Their egos get in the way.

Traders who don't address these issues will not survive. Statistics show this to be true.

Commitment:
Commitment is critical. Most become frustrated because they do not realize instant success. In fact this holds true in any new pursuit. The average person quits early in the game solely because of lack of commitment and unrealistic expectation of immediate success.

Knowledge:
Lack of knowledge, which is a major cause of failure, is a result ofan individual's attitude. How anyone thinks they can trade the currency market without professional training amazes me. Yet it happens all the time. People who accept that golf lessons arenecessary before they head out onto the course will start trading withlittle or no knowledge. Because you are reading this I assume you donot share that view. This is a major step in the right direction. Most traders fail to appreciate the level of skill needed to trade successfully. They have no foundation in how to understand priceactivity. They do not have a set of rules or guidelines. It is amazinghow many individuals develop a trading strategy by gleaning freeinformation off the internet. In actuality, all these individuals aredoing is gambling. Another common mistake is gathering too much information. It is statistically proven that if you narrow your focus,you have a higher probability of success. It is critical at this juncture not to confuse information with knowledge.

Ego:
Ego is one of the greatest enemies to a trader's success. Your egoneeds to win all the time and wants to win now. It can't stand being wrong. And so it rationalizes events and denies reality. You must beable to perceive the market as it is, not how you want to believe itis. But it is difficult to clearly see price action if your ego is inthe way. Ego makes us take small profits but large losses. It argues that even a small profit is a win. But a loss hurts and instead ofaccepting a small loss we try and get it back. Ego is why we hold on to bad trades that end up being even bigger losing trades. Without action, knowledge is useless. Massive action is the key to realsuccess. Many begin with great enthusiasm but become easilydisillusioned.
