Learn Forex Currency Trading - What To Expect

By Jake Patton

Avoid the hassle, the traffic, and the grind of a routine 8 hour per day job, and instead, work from the comfort of home. That sounds almost irresistible, and explains why forex trading appeals to so many people.

I too was one of such people. It seemed that a number of people on the internet were making large profits at forex trading. It seemed easy to do and I hated my job anyway.

But hold on. Although the online forex traders boast about their triumphs, not many of them can prove that their claims are real.

If you are in this trade, are you aware that 95% of forex traders are losers in the market? If you know that, you could be wondering whether this trading is manageable to you. It can be learnt though.

It's just that lots of people plunge in without a thought. They treat forex like a game of chance in a casino, a gamble that they hope they'll be lucky enough to win. Figure out where a currency is going, and hope. That's a losing strategy.

Forex isn't "playing", a word often erroneously used by traders to describe their activities. I'm playing with a hundred grand, they'll say. Is it any wonder they're not successful? Their frivolous attitude, the way they approach their trades, is not conducive to success.

Many traders also want to take the easy road to results. They want to rely on their sophisticated software to tell them what to do. Do I buy now, and when should I sell? They let the software find the answers, rather than figuring out the best course of action on their own.

But of course if it were that simple, 95% of forex traders wouldn't be losing money. - 23200
