In many parts of the world today, the hype about forex trading gets on big time. Many adverts are being shown in various media, which attempt to convince people that the forex market is the famed El Dorado , where huge amounts of wealth can be made.
There is no doubt that there is a lot of income in forex trading, but not everyone is making money from it.
If all goes well, you will be able to make more than your salary in the market. It is common to see day traders (people who trade on a daily basis) make $500. That amounts to $11,000 over a month, much more than most normal workers create as pays.
You can also earn money from forex trading, more than you do from your present job, provided you are willing to comply these principles before you start off:
Get the very best in forex education. A sound education in forex will equip you as much as a university education would arrange for a white collar job. Be willing to learn as much as you can before you get started. Do not behave like many who go into trading without being soundly educated. Their failure is inevitable. When you interact with people who have lost money in forex trading before, as I have done, you will find out that many of them thought they could just get by with a low quality education.
Somehow, they thought that they could succeed without being properly furnished, but ended up losing more money than they bargained for. You should save yourself the pains of regret early on by acquiring a sound training before you delve into forex trading.
You will be able to do this by getting good quality educational books and audiovisuals, in addition to a good mentoring program.
Like I noted in my first article, people are making profit from forex trading but not all are doing so. A good percentage of people lose their investments due to several reasons. Here, we will look at some other factors to consider before you begin to make your cool profit.
2. In addition to quality training via training materials, you should also sign in a good follow up program. It s not enough just to purchase materials and try to do it all on your own. That is not enough to guarantee your success.
You need a good support program in order to guide you through the tricky waters of the market.
Simple knowledge will only get you so far. Even after lots of demo trading, you need to read from the experiences of others. You need to interact with others constantly and profit from their experiences, as these will propel you into success in the market.
Your training provider must necessarily provide a follow up system for you. This may be in the form of a forum, a live trading room or via communication through email or phone.
Experience counts a lot in the market and you are better off when you learn from others.
Where feasible, attend seminars and workshops organized by experts in the field.
3. Begin with a demo/practice account. A demo trade simulates live trading, using paper money. With this account, you don t have to begin trading with your own money. The bane of many who come in forex trading is their haste to make money, which almost always leads to their making heavy losses. For instance, some people begin to trade on a live account just a week or less after they have attended a seminar or bought some e Books.
It pays to wait. There is no need to hurry and end up losing your hard earned money. Take some time, at least a month to trade on paper. You should try to trade for at least 15 to 30 minutes daily.
The unemployment rate is truly concerning and if you have a family or children to support, looking for better ways to support household income is very usual. Having a second job or a part time job is an option but most of the time, still not enough.
