Forex Trading Education - 5 Common Accepted Ways to Make Money Not to Learn

Many traders work hard at their forex trading education but simply fall victim to the myths and scams that abound online. If you try and learn ideas that are proven to failure, then of course you are going to lose - but 90% of new traders do this!

Here is your list of things that you definitely don't want to learn.

1. Forex Day Trading

You can try as hard as you want to learn methods and systems but you won't win because the logic is dumb. You cannot predict what millions of traders will do in a day and all volatility is random.

If volatility is random, you can't get the odds on your side and you can't win.

2. Forex Scalping

This is simply a dumber version of day trading instead of judging within a day the time periods can be minutes! Steer clear.

3. Scientific Theories of Prediction

The logic here is that human nature is constant so we can predict what humans will do with scientific accuracy.

There is a huge industry in selling the secrets of such legends as Fibonacci, Gann and Elliot - but leaving aside they made no money with their theories, it's obviously not true...

If markets moved to a scientific theory, we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market - pretty obvious really.

Leave these theories to the far out investment community, the nave and lazy traders and see forex for what it is a game of odds.

4. Don't Learn a Complicated System!

Many traders are very clever and try and use there brain to build complicated systems.

They normally fail, because in forex you need to keep your system simple there is no link between complexity and success.

Simple systems work best, because they have fewer elements to break and are more robust.

You get judged on only one criteria in forex trading and that's your market timing and the accuracy of your trading signal - that's it, and to be accurate you don't need to be complex.

5. Learn Constantly

I read all the time you have to keep a log of your trades and study each losing trade and learn from your losses. What for?

If you forex trading system is logical, then what do learn from a loss?

You lost!

Big deal, losses are part of the game. Once you have a system you are happy with, you simply need to apply it with discipline and if you want to keep learning, you will end up chasing your tail, in search of the perfect system that doesn't exist.

I use the same forex trading strategy, I learned back in 1988 and have never changed it.

Sure, it isn't perfect but it makes money long term and that' the aim of the game.

So if you have read the above, you will know what not to learn and save yourself some time in your forex trading education and get the right education and win.

Start Your Online Forex Trading Business

I'm going to show you how to start your online forex trading business in a short period of time. This is a fun and exciting new way for individuals to profit in a global market. There is over three trillion dollars a day being traded and that brings a lot of profit seeking people. This isn't a get rich quick market. There are a lot of people that think like that and they lost a lot of their money being ignorant. This is a business for people that want to have their own business and work from home. I'll share a little of what I learned during my time in this market.

A broker is the middleman that moves money around on your behalf in the market. You need to have one of quality and this will require research. I found the best way of doing this is simply going to forex forums and checking out the threads. You just have to Google "forex forums" and you'll find a lot of them. Brokers are a hot topic, so you'll hear a lot about the good, bad and ugly. After reading you should be better equipped in deciding which is best.

Before you actually step into the market, play around with your demo account. It's away of simulating the trading process without actually have to invest any money. This way you learn the trading platform and how things work, so you don't walk into it blind.

Lastly, like any business, you're going to need the tools required to be profitable. Software is essential for watching the market over a 24hr period. Obviously as an individual, you'll have to sleep sometime, so software is like having your own employee watch the market for you.

I'm currently giving a 7 day free forex course. Newbies and experienced are all welcome. If you're interested in participating, check out the Casual Forex Trader.

(Rebecca Cook/Reuters)Reuters - A bankruptcy filing by General Motors Corp could allow the struggling automaker to reduce its debt more aggressively than an out-of-court restructuring and might not be as damaging as it would have been just a few months ago, an analyst said on Monday.
