Why So Many People Lose Money Trading Forex
(My Original Blog Post: http://wah.isgreat.org/why-so-many-people-lose-money-trading-forex/)
The good news about forex trading is that there is dome good information out there to help traders. The bad news is that their is probably 100 times the amount of bad information. The difficulty is distinguishing between the two.
Here are just some of the many overblown forex trading myths that you hear about so much from traders.
Believe it or not, it doesn't matter what charting platform you use. I know many people make a big deal about this, but its completely overblown. The most important thing that you'll need is a reliable data feed. All the other stuff you can just throw out.
Make sure to remember this bit of advice when you see an infomercial for the latest "bell and whistle" platform being sold for thousands of dollars.
The honest truth is that all these things are shortcuts, and they never work. That still doesn't stop people from selling them, but you really have to be more of it as a consumer.
It still astounds me how traders can't see through this mirage. If these shortcuts are supposed to make trading SO simple, then why is it that so many people out there are losing money?
Noting screams scam more than these forex trading robots. For those that are unaware, these are automated trading robots that will trade for you on autopilot. I know it may sound convenient, but how realistic is it? Well, if you went by how many people lost money on them, you'd know that it's pretty unrealistic.
The best piece of advice I can give you is that less is more. I know this may not be of use to you right now, but if you follow it, there is no reason why you can't succeed. So if you are thinking about piling up one indicator after another on your charts, remember this piece of advise I just gave you and don't do it.
