The Story Of My Quest To Discovering The Holy Grail Of Forex Trading

“If you have any bad habits, the Forex will fix them real quick”

Peter Bain (Forex Mentor)

That is a simple statement that holds great truth. If you hate being wrong or you’ve got a mighty ego, the Forex Market just might not be the business to create the financial independence you’ve dreamt of, because trust me when I say I am yet to meet a Pro Forex Trader that doesn’t make loosing trades, the trick and the magic to banking consistent profits month in month out is proper risk management. 

When I first started trading I had no mentor, no one to help point out the mistakes to avoid and the techniques to employ making for profitable trading decisions. I spent months learning the hard way all by myself. I read books upon books upon books but the frustration just kept mounting up and the dreams of working in my pajamas just kept dwindling away, an impossible reality it all seemed to be at the moment. 

I became obsessed with trading, not because I was making a ton of cash as promised by the Forex Trading Products I came across but because I like being challenged, I knew deep down inside me that I could make a living off of trading because other people do it, why couldn’t I? Even though at that time I had no clue whatsoever, how to spot winning trade setups even if my life depended on it, I thought if I studied a bit harder I’d nail it, and I did…. :D though it wasn’t easy. 

I made a lot of sacrifices for trading, a lot of mistakes, some I regret some I don’t, I was only 19, and what could you expect? I dropped out of college because I traded my tuition and lost it, got kicked out of my apartment also because I traded my rent money in the hopes of getting back my tuition and furthering my college studies and I lost as well, my family’s been there for me regardless, but you know that looks you get when things go wrong, they can’t tell you they told you but the look says it all, yeah… I got that a lot too…. Save yourself the pain and anguish of trading with money you cannot afford to loose, it’s just not worth it. 

The market was here before you and its growing at an exponential rate; it could just be that when you are ready to jump in is when it’ll be most lucrative and thus when you’ll make the most money period, patience young Jedi. :D My big break in the Forex came when I took the time to reflect and ponder upon the common denominator found in every successful Pro Trader’s Forex Trading Methodology. Irrespective of the trading systems they use. 

Behold!!! {Drum rolls please :D}……… Proper Money Management, that’s it! A trader could be using just Trendline breaches to enter and exit trades and make a lot of money with the right mindset and proper money management, while another trader could be using only MACD Divergence and Moving Average Crossovers and still be making money with proper money management too. 

What separates successful trader from the struggling trader is the knowledge that loosing trades will come, but the trick is to know how to manage them and not get emotional because of them, causing you to make irrational trading decisions. 

That’s it about me people, everything, all the dirty little secrets if I may add :D…. I try to help struggling traders in the Fx Market because I know for a fact that a little help could go a long way in helping you become a successful Forex Trader, living off of your Forex trading Earnings. 

I pray after all the toil and labour, learning and practice Forex Trading brings you the joy and peace of mind this business brings when you get the hang of it. Feel free to look through the blog and add some new tricks or ideas to your trading toolkit or voice your constructive criticism on topics you think might have a better light in your perspective, we all learn from each other. 

Thanks a lot for your time. I am and would always remain….
