Books or Videos - Which one is better for learning?
in
New Traders
Jan 11, 2023 at 06:12
I think you need to learn from both mediums as a beginner. However, the visual medium will always be superior. If you try to learn the same trading concept by reading a book and then watching a video, then you will see that it is much easier to learn from a video. Still, many people including myself would prefer to read books instead. So, it is just a matter of personal preference in the end.
Luck or Hard Work?

I would say hard work without a doubt! I know many traders who blame it on their luck when they happen to lose trades. But the one who has skills will always accept their mistakes no matter what. The willingness to learn from your mistakes is what takes you to success in the end.
Basic mistake we make

Nearly all new traders are too curious to make money. We don’t want to waste our time on analysing the market and expect that we will be able to make money from the day we start. Eliminate this thought and focus on your learning and money management techniques so that you don’t lack anything.
What is the trading psychology for you?

Trading psychology is all about what you think of forex trading that can have an impact on how you trade forex. The first thing to know is that your trading career will be different from other traders and you better not take a chance until you are ready.

Isn’t it possible to connect cTrader to Mt4 without using social trader tools or another trade copier? I could link my copy trading account on Zulutrade with mt4 directly.
Why are some traders successful?

This is such an insightful post. It is true that every trader has to face some challenges before they become profitable or successful in the long run. The willingness to learn and determination to keep trying until they reach success gives them an edge. Trading will never be easy and one should not give up on trading just because they are going through tough times. We must keep on trying and success will come to us sooner or later.
Luck is important

Sometimes we end up making good trading decisions by mistake and call it luck. However, luck cannot favour us forever when it comes to forex trading. We need to work on our skills and strategy for long term success. Losses are inevitable sometimes but we should never leave our trades to our luck. Because that will make it look like we have no control over our wins and losses as a forex trader.

You don't have to waste your money on pointless courses and tutorials. There are numerous free resources available to help you learn. Do not force yourself to enter live trading. Practice on a demo account as much as you can; it will benefit you in the long run.

There is no fixed number of hours that you have to give in to become a successful trader. It’s like a cricket game. The more you practise, the better you get at it. Hence, if you can keep up with your hard work and put in the work, forex trading will work out really good for you in time.

Yes, a high number of traders fail. The cause of their failure is well-known. They lack the trading mindset and are not serious about trading. For many, forex is a way of making quick money, which isn’t the case. Other reasons include lack of trading system, poor risk management, opting for bad brokers, etc.
There is no short cut

There is really no shortcut that legit works in forex trading. Many people choose indicators, signals, EAs and bots, hoping that they will make an easy win in the market. But the truth is neither of them work solely. The basis of trading forex - trading psychology, analysis of price chart pattern (technical analysis), fundamental analysis, and risk management, if these are not present, then the trader cannot ever win in the market in the long run.
Demo Trading Advantages

I see many traders telling demo trading is just a waste of time, and it’s not good since they’re not profiting real money. What they seem to forget is that demo trading also doesn’t risk real money. And that is precisely why beginners can profit. Demo trading allows beginners to test the market strategies as per their convenience. They can mix and match different strategies with different timeframes, risk management, and price levels to see which one makes them get profits. One thing beginners should also learn from demo trading is how they feel when it’s not real money...
The dark side of forex markets

New Traders
Aug 18, 2022 at 09:19
The only dark side of forex is that it is extremely risky especially for beginners. The market is unforgiving to those who see it as gambling or easy money. It is a highly professional business. It does not tolerate any blunders ; therefore, individuals who lack trading skills will eventually lose money and blame others for their faults.
Different approaches of trading

Aug 18, 2022 at 09:17
Trading is not gambling in any sense. Traders work hard in developing skills and educating themselves, unlike gamblers who depend on luck. Skilled traders who have been in the market for a long time make decisions based on strategy and a right approach. They develop their own plan based on their prior experience. A good approach is essential when trading since without it, you will never be able to achieve good returns in forex.

Knowledge gives you power to see the market as it is and you don’t have to make assumptions out of anything. When your trading decisions are based on your knowledge and skills, you tend to make more profits than otherwise.

It could take months or years. There is no fixed answer because each trader’s level of consistency is dependent on their hard work. Hence, as long as you are putting in the hard word, you can see the results and become consistently profitable.
Which pairs are your least favorite to trade? And why?

New Traders
Aug 16, 2022 at 08:58
I stick to only major pairs. They are less volatile and have high liquidity, making them profitable to trade. Moreover, they have low spreads, which makes them less expensive. Example; EUR/USD, USD/CAD, GBP/USD, etc.
Is forex is best source of income?

New Traders
Aug 12, 2022 at 10:58
I don’t think that forex trading is a good source of income when the number of losing traders is quite high. If you are planning to build your career as a forex trader, be ready for losses before you expect to make any profits.
