So, the obvious question you may ask is why do 95% of traders lose money?
Many traders lose because they have poor methods, however many have good methods but still lose. The reason for this is - they lack the correct mindset to succeed.
If you want to win at Forex trading you need the right knowledge but you also need to have the right mindset, if you don't you will lose.
Here we will take a look at how to adopt the correct mindset the millionaire traders have and you need too. If you can acquire them, you are on the way to achieving currency trading success.
1. Desire and Passion
If you want success in anything in life - including forex trading, then you must desire success. If you have desire, then you'll do what's required to succeed. If you look at any of the legendary traders, they all had desire - and they loved what they did with a passion.
Currency trading success requires effort, as the rewards are immense - if you have the desire to succeed, you will acknowledge this and put in the required effort to succeed and make no mistake – the rewards for your effort can be life changing.
So if you have the desire and passion to succeed then chances are you will. Now lets look at how to channel this desire and passion, to become a successful Forex Trader.
2. Work Smart Not Hard
If you have read the Forex Education section – you will have read about “the turtles” - a group of people who had never traded before but learnt to do so in 14 days and went on to make millions.
They did this by working smart, NOT hard - and there is a big difference.
In many jobs you get paid for the effort you put in. When you trade FOREX you earn your reward simply for being right.
When you learn currency trading focus on working smart and acquiring the right knowledge and ignore all the Forex Myths which cause the bulk of traders to lose.
If you work smart, you can learn to trade in just a few weeks and in under an hour a day, you could soon be piling up big consistent profits.
The key to trading success is to have confidence in what you are doing - this leads to discipline and ultimate trading success. Let's look at this in more detail, as most traders never acquire these traits and lose.
