A Killer Forex Strategy: Three Ways to Turn yourself Into a Profitable Forex Trading Machine
Can you imagine having a killer forex strategy that allows you to extract cash from the biggest market in the world at any time you choose, day or night? You could trade at any time, and from anywhere. You could be sitting trading currency in Dubai or in Denver, making forex profits in the Maldives or in Malta - all with a few clicks of your mouse!
Sadly, for most people, it's really not that easy.
Here's a frightening fact: nearly 50% of foreign exchange traders lose money to the point where they have to stop trading altogether, and go and do something less risky instead.
If you're trading currencies right now, or you're thinking about starting, then you have a 1-in-2 chance of losing your trading pot.
They're not very good odds, are they?
I've been trading currencies for over twenty years, on and off, and mostly without great success. When I discovered that nearly half of all traders lose money over time, I nearly gave up myself!
The one thing that kept me going through the dark days was the knowledge that the foreign exchange trading software that is available now to the individual trader for modest sums, or even for free, are better than the software that professional City forex firms were paying thousands a year for only a decade ago.
I reckoned that the quality of the trading software tools available to us would continue to go up over time, and prices would continue to come down. And one day, we'd have access to some of the best foreign exchange software at silly prices!
I believe that day has now dawned.
As individual foreign currency traders, we now have three options open to us that enable us to "play with the big boys" - and play to win.
Option 1 - Pay For Trade Signals
There are plenty of companies and 'expert' individuals out there who will deliver trade signals to you by phone, SMS or email. I've used a couple of them myself, and they can be pretty good.
Just so we're all clear, trade signals basically come from the market. They are either fundamental (good farm payroll numbers, an interest rate change and so on) or they are technical, from patterns forming on the charts, or a combination of the two.
There are literally hundreds of different signals to choose from, and a service should pass on to you only those they think have the highest probability of creating a profit. By the time you get a trade signal, though, it will simply tell you the currency pair, whether it's a Buy or a Sell, and some idea of stop-loss and profit-take levels.
