Forex Trading Education

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

There is no epigram to say that you do need Forex trading education, just like there is no real saying on whether or not you should attach a bungee chord before you decide to fling yourself off a cliff. Not going for any sort of formal training is really inviting this thing called monetary suicide. What you will do and end up in the end of the day is a bank account with no value, a life that is riddled with depression and the realisation that you do not know anything about the market.

Congratulations. This is what happens to most of the new retail traders that decide to come in and trade their way to the yacht and the retirement villa in the Bahamas. Sure, dreams are always good, they keep you motivated and alive and give you a target to aim for when you are thinking about trading. But dreams will not give you the tools to perform as you should when you are trading. They are not the fundamentals to which you can rely on to pick apart the market and show you where the profits are. You need to learn.

There are so many courses out there, but which one too choose. Well, it really depends on how good you are and on what level you think you have become in your short career as a trader. Most peope actually go for the basics because the basics are the fundamentals that every trader would need if they wanted to actually trade successfully. In fact, everyone who has been trading for less than a year (unless you are making some fantastic headway), should go back and take a course for their own good. Learn, learn and learn some more - and there is a good reason for this.

The market is always revealing new and interesting ways to take your money away from you. The Forex market is a large, fluid monster that can be tamed for a while, but will go feral in a few months when not taken care of. You need to constantly update yourself with new trading tactics and systems that remain relevant to market conditions. This way, you will not be left out of the game, and you will be in a good position to actually conquer the Forex market with tools that are far ahead of its temper tantrums

You have a good system. And? Robots and Expert Advisors are brilliant, but they only work if you have knowledge on the market. Do not be fooled into the salacious advertisings of people who can claim to make you a millionaire overnight. You can make money. You can do it with a system or a robot. But you will enhance this with your own knowledge and perspective of the Forex market. Sooner or later, you will be the one guiding your EA into new areas of the market, enter new trades and make a name for yourself in the currency market. This is why Forex trading education is so important.
