Forex Education - Avoid the Online Currency Trading Trap

Online currency trading in increasing in popularity and with that comes the good, the bad and the “you know what.” Like any business venture there are people out there waiting to take advantage of you and people who genuinely want to help.

Some people hocking learn to trade packages are internet marketers riding the wave of a hot market in search of profits off of someone else’s products. Others are skilled professional seeking to satisfy the teacher in all of us.

How do you get the necessary skills to become a successful Forex trader? How do you know which product or system is the Holy Grail?

The truth is that this does not exist!

Get your Forex education.

The simple truth is that the Forex market is made of human beings and price is nothing more than a representation of supply and demand, which is nothing more than the collective fear and greed the market perceives of a currency pairs value.

That’s it!

I have heard statistics as high as 95% of Forex traders lose money, so logic will tell you to focus in what the 5% are doing for consistent success. They know their system, execute high probability trades, and manage their risk. Most importantly they know themselves inside and out and how their emotions impact their trading.

Notice I said consistent success. So how is consistency found? Well, not in books, surfing the net or even the going it alone approach. Going it alone is the craziest of all. It will succeed if you are willing to lose your account over and over again until YOU figure it out or quit! Which scenario is more likely?

Let’s draw some examples from other professions that require peak performance under pressure. First, thing that comes to mind is professional sports. What do all professional athletes have in common, regardless of the sport? They all have a coach.

Whether the athlete participates in a team or individual sport they all have a coach! A coach is a teacher, a coach can serve as a motivator, and a coach can point out constructive feedback for improvement.

Let’s turn to another profession, business executives. One of the fastest growing industries in business is the business coach. High performance in the business world is critical and now more and more executives are turning to coaches for the same reason as professional athletes.
The moment of truth lies with the trader. The simple reason a Forex coach is valuable is because they are not you. They are not in the fish bowl with you. A coach can impart trading expertise and guide you through the process of Forex trading. A coach will connect you with yourself and maximize your performance.

So when searching for Forex education and online training, seek out education packages that cover strategy, risk management and will introduce you to your trader inside. Seek out those that teach through coaching and are there with you step-by-step.

You are playing the only game that will reward you when you are correct and implement severe penalties when you are wrong. Don’t leave anything to chance. Invest in yourself by investing in your Forex education.

Happy Trading!!
