How To Make Money Trading Forex

By Ricky Lim



To make money trading forex requires a forex broker to have discipline in following the rules of the “game”. If you can stay focused and follow a system regardless of the market conditions, then you can make money trading forex.

Forex trading as with other types of financial investing is risky. Since the FX market is volatile, it can be difficult to predict whether the market is going down or up. That is why proper financial practices is important specifically your money management skills.

In my opinion, many new traders often fail to make money trading forex because they are lured by the easy prospects of making millions of dollars and are confused over the hundreds of indicators and forex financial terms. With tons of data and indicators constantly changing, it can be difficult for new traders to grasp the underlying trends and that will lead to poor trading decisions.

In general, the forex market is easier to predict in the long term than in the short term. However, most new traders often lose sight of the big picture and instead concentrate on recent upward and downward trends. They get too caught up with the latest news and focus on the 1 hour and 4 hours charts believing easy money is made by seizing the right opportunity. That in my view is more like gambling and not investing.

Though the forex market is volatile, very rarely do currencies devalue to the point it becomes worthless, therefore if you have deep financial standing, you can easily wait for the currency to rebounce and make a profit. Sometimes, it may take weeks, months and even years. That is why savvy traders often make a large part of your money liquid rather than tied down by anyone currency.

Another mistake some new traders make is believing there are insider secrets or information that can make them rich. Due to the nature of the forex market which is liquid and having such huge transactions (trillions of dollars are transacted each day), it is almost impossible to have any kind of insider information. Plus, with rapidly changing data and indicators updated almost instanteously, there is no chance of even an insider secret.

If you want to make money trading forex, start to take a long term view of forex trading instead of being the opportunistic investor.
