The primary reason most Forex traders fail is that they ignore the process.
In today’s world of quick-fix solutions, drive-thru menus, and expedient transportation, we want everything NOW. In our “convenient culture” we have come to expect results right away, putting aside the basic principles of cause and effect. “I’ll have a Big Mac, biggy-sized, with 10 milkshakes, and a vanilla latte!” Instantaneously, our ears hear the delightful words “Coming right up!”
When you ask for Forex Trading success, do not expect a “coming right up!” response. Forex Trading is not a get-rich-quick method. If you approach it as one, you will almost inevitably get-poor-quick. Forex Trading involves work, it requires a process. Let us view The Process of Forex Trading together.
Prepare
Process is defined as: “A series of actions or steps taken to achieve an end.” The first step in the process of becoming successful at Forex Trading is to prepare. The preparation I am referring to is financial preparation, having the financial security to invest money that you can afford to lose.
Do not invest money that you can not afford to lose. Do not invest your last $2,000 in hopes of acquiring some much-needed cash for the bills next month. If you trade with funds that you can not afford to lose, the emotional pressure of trading will become so immense and intense that the likelihood of you losing your funds increases exponentially.
Risking you and your family’s financial welfare is never a wise decision. If you are currently not in the financial position to participate in Forex Trading, establish a goal to be financially secure by this time next year. Therefore, you can be confident in your future investing and you will value that investment substantially more than you would if you had not intently and purposefully worked and planned for it.
Without the foundation of financial security, your “wealth house” is exceedingly vulnerable to the storms of the Forex market.
