Common Forex Made Easy Tips

By Chan Boldene

Contrary to popular belief, Forex Made Easy is often easy. Before I dive into deconstructing this whole Forex business (and it is a business), I'll share some simple but crucial Forex Made Easy tidbits. I will be going back to this periodically. They're important not just because you are learning to trade in the 4x markets, but because they are good principles to live by.

If you've been around any length of time, you've heard or read how the basketfuls of money we can make from Forex Trading (or FX Trading), so what are the tips and rules and strategies we can incorporate to make money from 4X Trading? Below are the seven tips for trading Forex that the management of Forex Made Easy (me) came up with to help make you USD, Euro, Yen in this crazy and rewarding field.

Forex Made Easy Tip #1: Don't get greedy.

Wow. This is too simple. When you're on a hot winning streak, it's easy to think you can't lose. This is dangerous thinking. 4x Trading is easy but you can lose your shirt too. Be careful. Greed can deplete your account faster than you can say "that's not what they taught me in that Forex Made Easy blog!" Greed can be devastating.

Tip #2: Get Educated

Who says you have to be a market genius to make money in Forex? The Forex Made Easy blog will help you with that. Any man, woman, and child can learn how to trade, and anyone can make money. You don't need to spend tons of time getting educated either, but a trader with real world experience trading is invaluable.

Tip #3: The Best Proven Systems are Simple

This Forex Made Easy tip is perhaps the most difficult to conquer because we like gadgets and systems and indicators and tools. Use the KISS method: Keep it Simple Stupid. The phrase is completely overused but it fits. Keep it simple, use a few indicators, and support and resistance. Don't get complicated. Simple trading "systems" are far more robust than complicated ones.

Tidbit #4: Make Sure You Have Risk and Money Management Rules.

This Forex Made Easy tip is probably the least glamorous. Success is built on money and risk management. You need to learn about fluctuations and standard price deviation and if you have no idea what it is, there are plenty of resources online to educate yourself.

Tidbit #5: Discipline - Set Up a Basic Set of Rules and Stick to It.

No matter how great you think you are (and you're probably not all that...sorry), you will have losses. Even after you search this Forex Made Easy site for nuggets of wisdom and insight, which you will undoubtedly find, you will still need disciple. So, let me repeat that, you will have losses. But you need to have discipline to ride out the losses and bounce back. Know your rules. Stick to them. You need to keep your emotions in check when trading.

Forex Made Easy Tip #6: Have Fun

Forex Trading can be challenging and rewarding. It can also be very exciting. Don't take your losses or your gains so seriously. Don't spend all day on the computer monitoring the markets. Relax. Get outside. Spend time with your family. The markets will be there tomorrow.

Forex Made Easy Tip #7: Paper Trade Until You "Make Money"

Practice Practice Practice. There are software programs out there (and some that we at Forex Made Easy will recommend) to help you so that you won't lose money quickly. You can test strategies, theories, and win a million dollars - all with no money changing hands! You need to do this.

We at believe that anyone can make money trading the Forex markets. The effort you need to put in will be well rewarded. So don't forget this rule: simplicity is best. Simple, steady, and well-executed strategies will make you a lot of money from trading the currency markets. That's the Forex Made Easy way. - 23200
