Can becoming a forex millionaire really be accomplished? I know that’s the dream of most of new traders. When you hear about the fact that only 5% of traders make money, let alone are millionaires from trading forex, it can be really depressing. To all of that I say “who cares???”
Who cares that there are traders (as you are reading this) who are crashing their accounts??
Look at it from the other side. Right now (as you are reading this), there is a trader who is just about to make his first million dollars.
So what’s the secret? What’s the difference between the guy who is crashing his account and the one who is becoming a millionaire for the first time?
Well……there are several reasons for this. The first one being that the millionaire is probably thinking outside the box. That’s one of the biggest problems for new traders to do.
We live in interesting times. Forex trading (for that matter…all of trading) has stopped becoming about comprehension of the market, and much more about toys and gimmicks.
When it stopped becoming about trading, and it became about things like forex robots, then that’s when the gap between the successful and the unsuccessful started to become bigger.
In case you don’t know what forex robots are, they essentially trade the forex market on your behalf. The don’t require any human interaction. You turn them on and all the buying and selling is being taken care of for you.
Doesn’t that sound incredible???? Well….most people say “yes”, and from a technical gadget standpoint, I guess it is.
Now, I want you to ask those very same people who love the idea of forex robots, how many of them have made money using them in the long term? I guarantee you the reaction will not be as positive.
You don’t have to take my word for it. Go on any forex forum, and find out for yourself. There are countless threads on different forex robots. See how many of them have been profitable in the long term on a REAL account (not on a demo).
The answer may depress you, but you need to know about it. The faster you learn this, the better off you are going to be as a trader.
Instead of gimmicks, it’s important that you focus on a forex trading system that is based on REAL principles, not gimmicks.
It’s time to throw the toys out the window where they belong, and learn what really makes the market tick. No more shortcuts. See the market in its purest form with price action.
Price action is basically being able to recognize price patterns in the market that predict future movement. This is what technical analysis is all about. It all has to looking at a simple chart and being able to read it, just like you would read a book.
Don’t become part of the 95% of the trading public that’s losing money.
