What is Forex?
Lesson: 1
Let’s have an open discussion before we enter into the world of forex trading. Before trading currencies, it’s essential to understand a few key points.
Forex is not a miraculous way to become wealthy rapidly! In fact, almost 90% of traders experience losses. This is frequently due to a lack of planning, insufficient training, a lack of discipline, the absence of a sound trading strategy, and bad money management.
If you don’t manage losses well or are a perfectionist, trading may be difficult for you. Remember that every trader experiences losses at some point.
Forex trading is not suitable for those who are unemployed, have low incomes, are drowning in credit card debt, or are struggling to afford essential bills.
Now, let’s speak about how much money you’ll need to get started, you should have at least $10,000 in your trading account (if it’s a micro account), and it should be money you can afford to lose.
Don’t get your expectations up with just a few hundred dollars, expecting to become extremely wealthy overnight. The forex market is big liquid, and known for strong trends, making it appealing to traders worldwide. However, only a small percentage find true success.
The problem is that many people enter the market with the expectation of making large gains but lack the discipline required to perfect trading. Consider sticking to a diet or going to the gym on a regular basis; if you struggle with these, imagine succeeding in one of the most difficult but financially rewarding pursuits.
Short-term trading is not for beginners, and it is certainly not a quick way to make money. Remember that huge earnings come with big risks. Engaging in a strategy with significant risk can result in variable success and significant losses. A trader taking such risks may not even have a suitable plan, it is more like betting than trading.
To be clear, forex trading is a skill that takes time and effort to learn.
Skilled traders can make money, but success, like any other career, does not happen suddenly.
Forex trading is not easy, unlike common opinion. If it were, everyone involved would already be millionaires.
Remember that there are no shortcuts in forex trading.
It takes a lot of effort and experience to become excellent.
There is no alternative for hard work, intentional practice, and perseverance.
Begin by practising on a demo account until you have a procedure that you fully understand and can confidently execute that works best for you.
