To be honest i think you're absolutely right if they knew that it was hard work they would stay well away. I suppose some just don't get it until years later. Im 2 years in now and finally becoming profitable but its been blood, sweat and tears tbh

Learning and education is key. I have no idea why some people come into a multi-trillion dollar a day business and think they can pull money out with no education in it.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

Totally agree with this, too many people rich in and fail then give up.

That is one of the most baffling things for sure. Like there are traders with degrees and 7 year internships and retail traders for a better word spending years honing their craft and then someone comes in after 2 months and thinks they're gonna hit 6 figures a month

Self Discipline is the most important thing to have. Devise and test multiple strategies and when and only when you find a successful formula, then implement it and stick to all of it parameters every single time.

I learned a lot, but the most important thing is not to forget about having a demo account. Sometimes a strategy can be worked out on a demo account so that later you do not get losses on a real one.

Well Said, actually demo is the best way to learn Forex! So, new traders need to start their trading journey by using the demo! They should the demo as like their real account! Which traders try to avoid the demo initially, they suffer a lot in their live trading!

1. You must have a consistent set of actions before you get a consistent set of results
2. You must have an edge in trading
3. Ability to work under pressure.
4. Those who make money fast, also lose money fast
5. Trading is not only about earning money, but it also teaches you a lot more than what meets the eye.

Great suggestions.

All I have learnt in my trading career is that the right mindset is the key to success. Traders having right mindset are prepared mentality and emotionally to do the hard work with consistency and face the challenges of the market.

Very true. Traders are to be very patient. To find out a good strategy, a trader must work very hard with patience. Then, he has to stick with his plan. Thanks for your opinion.

I've learned one thing.

95% of people lose money.

This means that 95% of people are talking out of their backsides.
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

Yeah that's true to an extent i think. I would question that percentage slightly as there was one saying 80% lose money a while back but you have to think a high percentage of businesses fail in a short period, there's a high drop out in medical schools, tough courses. This is not an easy business and dedication is a must to succeed. Its so hard to regulate or verify actual traders without a myfxbook and so many trust people without them. This is one of the huge problems with the industry of retail traders and this perpetuates people losing money as they are learning from unsuccessful people teaching them too.
