Introduction
When you are just getting started in Forex, you know deep down inside you that it's a good way of making some passive income and even achieving the financial freedom you desire. Even though it all looks very easy at the start, once you make your first deposit and start doing battle in the Forex markets you realize that it's not very easy at all! You realize that you don't have a learn fundamental analysis at all of how to actually make money trading Forex, and suddenly your dreams of Forex trading for a living seem very far away indeed.
What Every Beginner Forex Trader Goes Through
At this point, you can either accept that you need to seriously starting learning to trade Forex, or you start trading emotionally and rashly to try to regain your losses. There's really no shame in admitting that you got angry and started doubling up your trades to get back your losses, most of us have been there and done that at least once in our early Forex trading careers. The key thing is that we realized that we aren't "there" yet, that there's something missing that we need to learn before we can trade Forex successfully.
If you get to this point, then you've turned a significant corner in your pursuit of Forex trading for a living. This is when you realize that there's actually a lot more work involved in trading Forex than you thought when you were just getting started in Forex. You begin to recognize that you don't have the skills or knowledge right now to create a regular Forex trading income for yourself, and that with the demands of your full time job you hardly have time to learn. Don't go out there and buy every book and system from the far corners of the earth trying to find the "holy grail" system though. There's a far better way to achieve your Forex trading goals.
Getting To The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Most Forex trading "experts" would leave you to stumble your way through the dark tunnel of self-discovery and enlightenment at this point, but to me that's pointless. If you consider the statistics, only 5% of traders getting started in Forex actually "make it" and pursue Forex trading for a living. That's because they get caught up in wanting to learn the skill of trading Forex themselves. In this modern day, we don't have to get a medical degree to treat our own cold, so why do we learn how to trade Forex on our own if we want to make a Forex trading income?
The answer that no one is talking about is to apply all the best practice of Forex trading that only you can do: have enough capital to start with, apply sound money management principles and to manage your own expectations when it comes to winners and losers. Everything else can be "outsourced" to professional trading software programs developed by veteran Forex traders. This does take work as well, after all, you're not going to strike gold with the first system that you buy. Be smart, do your research and due diligence, and only buy a system that offers you a lengthy guarantee.
Forex trading for a living is possible, and it doesn't have to be a 3-5 year long journey through the school of hard knocks if you don't want it to be. If your goal is to make a Forex passive income, and have time to enjoy your life instead of making Forex trading a full time endeavor, then the best thing you can do is to stop doing all the trading on your own, and outsource the hard work to a professionally designed trading system instead.
