To survive and consistently make money in the forex market, you need to be a professional trader. What are the secrets of professional forex traders that allow them to make a lot of money in forex trading? A professional trader friend of mine and I had a chat. And he shared with me the 3 secrets that make professional traders like him so rich:
Secret #1: Professional traders are not geniuses. They simply follow a SIMPLE Forex trading system.
You see it correctly, they are not any smarter than you nor do they possess of any god-like foresight in forex trading. I dare to say this because I know of some professional forex traders who seem to know nothing in this world and clumsy in doing other stuffs but can be a professional forex trader. Why is this?
It's simply because they have a successful forex trading system which gives good forex trading signals to help them trade consistently. And what they have to do is to repeat the consistency just by following the trading system. That's all! And let me leak a little more secret, professional traders use simple forex trading systems instead of what most people thought to be complicated.
Secret #2: Learn and work smart, not hard.
Do you think that you should learn how to trade forex the hard way and gain all the knowledge before you can be successful? Do you think you can master the forex market if you combine all the strategies taught by every forex trading expert? If your answer is yes, you are WRONG! You may be rewarded in other businesses for the time and effort you put in.
But in forex trading, it's the right forex trading tutorials and education that counts and you are rewarded for being accurate and not for efforts. You'll be surprised to learn that many successful traders follow a winning system blindly in order to increase their trading capital.
Secret #3 - They possess Determination, Discipline, Money Management and Mindset for Success
My friend, a professional forex trader, told me he would put everything else aside to focus on his forex trading. His determination to succeed helped him overcome the steep learning curves and small losses he experienced at first. He emphasized on a huge mistake that a lot of people make is that they are too eager to trade, too eager to make money fast from the forex market.
To follow the rules in your forex trading strategy, you need discipline. Huge capital gains in forex are piled up over years of consistency and not days, there is no shortcut to riches. Even 2 or 3 consecutive losses won't have a big impact on his profitability. He is only willing risk 1% or 0.5% of capital margin for each trade.
It is not possible for everyone to become a professional forex trader within a short time frame, as it requires a lot of capital. However, anyone can succeed in forex trading by learning how to do it professionally.
