How You Make Money Trading Forex

In my desperate search for the winning wisdom in forex trading, I have spent fortunes in acquisition of knowledge from many experts on the trade, I have paid hundreds of dollars to purchase so many information, my library is loaded with brain of forex traders in black and white, some are very informative and helpful and few are so irrelevant, after several months of research and demo trading in various platforms I graduated from a novice to an upgraded forex trader and today I can say I have climbed up the ladder of forex trading faster than I thought I would, making good money and having lost some that has made me better forex trading coach and entrepreneur today. My greatest joy in online business is my ability to be able to help others mine the Internet wealth without stress.
To become a profitable and reliable forex resource expert and trader it’s very expensive and very costly. Most resource books and e-books on this trade are not too easy to come by. Please tell how can learn the forex trading that can make me rich.?

Re: How You Make Money Trading Forex

It depends on what you want to learn like currency trading Forex trendline analysis or Forex technical trading. I came across a website forexboost.com that provides free training on these. Sounds interesting. It would be better that you find yourself the details of it.
All the best.

Re: How You Make Money Trading Forex

First I believe for one to be successful in forex you should go swing trading or better position trading. Intraday is really challenging. I am not saying it can't be done. Just that it's more difficult than traders thing.

Secondly, I suggest you stay focus more on your strategy rather than how much you will make. Although I have a fixed profit target, I don't "squeeze" the market . I mean, nobody knows what the market is going to do next. Most of the time I reach my target but I know for a fact that one particular day market could reverse on my position and stop me out. It's a crude reality many traders won't accept and therefore they are in a constant search of a system that will spit money everytime they place a trade. It doesn't exist my friend.

If you have your mind of growing rich on forex or any other market, you're heading down the wrong direction. Possible? yes but don't set you mind on that. It will ruin you.

If you have a system in place, stick to it no matter what. If is not working out for you, better to look for advice. There's an abundance of free information on the web.

There's plenty of experienced players in this very forum. My suggestion is why don't you bring your strategy to the table, to see how feasible it is.

On what you are saying, I believe you have an "overload" of information. Sometimes we need to put that aside and get our feet on the water. Maybe you're in the"search" of a system that puts you in the profit way. I say it's possible my friend. But I think you must lower your gear a little and come down to earth. Simplify things.

Losing is an inherited part of this game. Sometimes you will lose. Maybe more than once in a row. But at the end of the month, you will have more winers than losers. That's the core of trading my friend, at least on my experience.

Let me tell you a short story

I got shot in the leg during the gulf war. My company commander took me out of the front and put me on the statistics division. When I got my discharge, I work for a little while running stats for a hedge fund company. After a while I visualize that I can be self-employed trading. But I realized that if I truly want to get my edge on the markets, the best I can do is to run stats , back and forth in order to look what system/strategy will be more consistent. After two years, I finally found what I was looking for.

Nowadays there's good people outhere willing to help at no charge. I mean, it's good to buy books and everything but I won't pay 2-3k to anyone to teach me how to trade. That's insane.

Another thing some traders won't accept is this: You can buy all the books, read all articles , even buy expensive seminars etc, but ultimately trading comes down to grabbing your own edge, your own unique perspective on the market, and nobody else's. Very much like a fingerprint. I mean, of course is good to read stuff about successful traders, but just in the light of shaping your system, which as I said it's your edge, your little baby. That's why I will never pay a single penny to any of these so-called "guru's"

Re: How You Make Money Trading Forex

I found the forexboost site a while ago in google I think. I picked up an ebook they talked about called the forex trading machine and it was very good. It was simple to read and use. I still use one of the strategies I learned and do very well with it. I also tried swing trading but it’s not an easy thing to learn and do. You also need to set your stops pretty high and I don’t usually feel comfortable having huge stops. I just like simple easy to follow intraday trading strategies best. They seem to yield the best results for me anyway.

Talking Re: How You Make Money Trading Forex

Im going to give you the best advice on how to trade the forex. stop looking at the small time frame charts. The reason you might ask because most of the time it move way to slow. It is like being in slow traffic that never moves, except when you start reading a interesting article in the paper, which happen to me all the time.

Look for break of the 4 hour trend line and the dmi on the 1 hour chart to start to cross over, watch the momentem indicator to make like a small 123 push above or below the zero line ... enter above or below the channel by 5 to 6 ticks. Look for key fibonacci area or SR area, this is where you get the 100 to 200 pip runs. Don't believe me do it for yourselves, You will see one trade after another. The best place to enter is on a good pull back. Select several pairs and determine the best one to trade. Good Luck! All my chart are down so i cannot send a chart!

Re: How You Make Money Trading Forex

vlad... delta is the analisis of bid/ask volume.... how much buying volume vs selling volume... that site I show on previous post has some indicators that emulate synthetically (pretty well) a delta on forex... cheers Walter.
