So why the high failure rate? The major problem can be laid squarely at the feet of much of the rubbish that is being sold to the ususpecting aspirant trader. The vendor says that you can try it on your demo account, that's great but most Forex demo Traders do not have the foggiest idea of the very big difference between Forex Trading a demo account and Forex Trading a live account.
Robots are a farce...stay away
No one tells the unsuspecting aspirant Forex Trader that most Robots offered for sale in this age of robot hype, with their many promising profits as large as telephone numbers, are based on inert systems. Calling a market that fluctuates and changes by the second, applying the same criteria to thousands of different circumstances simply can not work.
Small wonder that often one losing robot trade wipes out many forex Trading Accounts in their entirity. Capital and profits inclusive. The purported million dollar producing robot has to fail sooner or later, and when it does, stand clear!
Most robots need to have deep draw downs, if they don't, many of the trades they place will end up being stopped out. To show their "value" they base the trades they trigger on the hope that the market will retrace to the profit target and not go beyond a certain point. They base much of their hope on the premise that the market they trade in will stay within a certain number of pips from entry to exit points. The one trade that does not retrace, but continues in the wrong direction has a draw down so deep that it wipes out many of the unsuspecting new Foreign Exchange traders lesser accounts.
I could enumerate and go on in this vain at infinitum, but the object of the article is to get you to understand that trading, as opposed to selling hyped up so called money making robots are two different professions.
The robot seller is seldom if ever a trader, if he is he likely is a demo trader or has never made a wining trade in his life. Many of them are programmers only. These robots are skewed by rubbish which they want to sell to make their money; where as Forex Trading is truly a noble financial profession and should be seen and treated as such.
I write this in the hope that I will have saved some of you some money and a margin call on your Forex Trading account. Stay away from Forex Trading Robots. When you have enough knowledge to adjudicate what it is that you need to add value to your Forex Trading business you can obtain mechanical help, but not a robot. Be warned 99% if not more are scams and make money for the seller, not for the Forex Trader.
The positives and how you will make money.
Let's look at what you do need to make it big in the Forex Trading profession. You would think that I am going to enumerate a trillion things, no not so. Foreign Exchange Trading has a great number of technical analytical tools which are said to provide profitable trading signals... bollocks... Many traders try and use basic Technical Analysis exclusively to make money. these are re-active signals and only show the past.
As I said, many of these more common indicators used by the average traders in an endeavour to identify a profitable Forex Trading signal are reactive; in other words, they tell you what has already happened. If, as is held by the technical analyst that history repeats itself, is in fact true, we could all be fortune tellers. In fact we would have a forex trading rate success rate of 90% and not 5% amongst the traders.
As signal providers, these type of technical tools are at best good enough as confirmatory elements once you have set up a trade using the right indicators. We need to know what is going to happen, before and not after the event has happened. Old news will not make you any money. Truly profitable Forex Trading has only one system, which is the use of the only indicator that is proactive, and that is the price itself combined with chart patterns identified at the S&R levels of a chart, for this I use at a mechanical alert confirmed by oscillators of your personal preference. To be successful using this trading system you have to recognize chart patterns, which is more than you had bargained for I am sure.
You do not have to loose money, just read on,in fact you need precious little to get. Don't start off by aiming to take a $1000.00 dollar mini Forex Trading account and turn it into a million dollars, by over exposing your self. It will not work, you'll blow your margin.
Now that you understand the limitation you should impose on yourself, it remains but for me to say that the most important facet of the trading profession is that you have a cool and calculating attitude towards your new profession. Choices you make have consequences and are business choices to make money. DO NOT get emotionally involved and make your trading decisions out of the heart.
As a successful trader you could do worse than follow my path. I make a handsome living from my profession. The above information is worth more to you than any tools you may add to your arsenal, as they safeguard your account. Forex Trading is highly profitable with the right attitude and the right signal identification system, in no other way will you make money.
