Forex Trading - The Beginning Trader's Action Plan (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 - Stop thinking you're going to be rich trading forex in the next 18 months. This is the most dangerous thing that kills most traders. Why is it that it is important that you get that idea out of your head? It will cause you to blow up mini account after mini account.

Don't believe me?

Come back later (several accounts later) . . . you'll believe me then. I guarantee it.

Most small traders start with ideas of getting rich starting with a little stake and turning it into some large number in short order (1 to 2 years). Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. The experienced market players will take your money.

Step 2 - Now that you've cooled your blood a little, you need to get a good trading method. I'm talking about something old and reliable. You know, along the lines of Fibonacci or trading pullbacks.

You need something simple and proven. There is no need to spend $997 on the latest, whiz-bang system. It's not necessary.

You don't need to be trading something that no one else is trading. After all, think about it. What causes the price of a currency to go up? Buying pressure.

More buyers than sellers. More demand than supply.

Let me ask another question. When you buy do you want the price to go up? Obviously, yes. So you want to buy when others are buying. Since that's the case, why wouldn't you want to trade in a way that others are trading and be caught up in their upward move?

See?

Find an old reliable method. Don't be worried that everyone else is trading it so it won't work anymore. Of course it will, if it was a sound system to begin with.

Step 3 - Practice. To quote a cliché, "Practice makes perfect." You gotta work at it. There is no free lunch.
