It is a fact that forex trading became a highly preferable investment method in the last decade. Combined with the internet as a global 24/7 network forex is reachable to everyone.

Many people/organization, especially forex brokers, its affiliate and those who earn their income by providing some forex related services says that forex trading have so much advantages compared to other investments, Forex is easy, with its non-stop 24 hour market, its wide range adjustment leverage, its automated trading platform, its offered better opportunity for income resource,and many more..

I think most of fore traders have a common cycle in the market. First you are charmed by the idea that you can make money while sitting in front of your computer. You start with a demo account, buy when price goes up, sell when price goes down. Probably everything seems perfect in first couple of weeks. You decide to open a real account....

 

Meanwhile you discover that there are many indicators to tell you what to do. Your charts become full of indicators, you can barely see because there is no space left on the chart. You open a position with real money and things start to get harder. Sometimes you close trades with little profits while you could have closed it earlier and gained 150+ pips. Since you don’t have certain rules and strategy, your account starts to melt due to different market conditions. Some people realize that there are other factors such as "money management" and "trading psychology"...

 

At this point you start to search forums, web sites to tell you what to do. Finally you blow another account and blame others for their bad calls. Next you search for profitable expert advisors to run on your computer. Of course, you get the same result.

 

Now you have 2 choices:

Either you are going to accept that trading is a serious business and technical analysis is a science (and spend months-years to learn)

Or you are going to quit and move on...

 

Anyone can trade does not mean they should...We can't be good at anything we want. This is not something to be ashamed of...
