I want to try forex trading, I don’t know how to start, I want somebody who experienced it to share with me his/her experience
Forex trading is profitable if you are able to abide by three simple rules:
1) Stick to one or two strategies that work year in, year out.
2) Apply good money management techniques. This means you should never expose more than 3-5% of your account to the market at any given time. This way, a losing trade will not damage your account irreparably.
3) Aim for a reasonable profit margin of at least 40% monthly. Some people say that aiming for up to 40% is suicidal. My experience has shown that if you have a good strategy (and I have seen a blog where there are more than 30 strategies to choose from), some of them can deliver up to 100 pips over 2 days of trading, if the trader makes the correct entry and follows the rules.
For me, I do not trade every day. This is my 6th year in the market. I have learnt that good strategies, applied with good money management, is what makes the difference between success and failure.
You need to get access to strategies, and use them. One of my favorites is using crude oil to trade currency pairs involving the USD, JPY and CAD. When you understand such relationships, you understand why things happen in the forex market.
When you understand why a credit rating downgrade in a Eurozone country causes the EURUSD to drop in value, you are already on your way to knowing how to trade forex profitably.
When you understand that the CHF is a safe haven currency and that when bad things are happening economically in Europe, a SELL position on the EURCHF can rake in 1000 pips (as happened in Nov 2010 because of the Irish debt problem), then you are on your way to trading profitably.
Forex trading is profitable. Just like a door has a key which locks and unlocks it, so also forex trading has keys. You need the keys to be able to unlock them.
