There are many benefits and advantages to trading forex such as no commissions, no middlemen, no fixed lot size, low transaction costs, a 24 hour market, no one can corner the market, leverage, high liquidity, free “demo” accounts, news, charts, and analysis and “mini” and “micro” Trading
However, the speed and complexity of market movements can be a deterrent to aspiring investors. Unless you have a trading system you follow and a good grasp of the forex market, you can find yourself struggling.
So many new entrants into the forex market always tend to search for the ‘ultimate’ forex trading system. And there are so many such trading systems being flouted on the internet as the next best thing.
A good trading system will provide you ‘signals’ or ‘alerts’ about market movements as they arise based on popular Forex indicators like the Relative Strength Index and MACD lines. However, what you need is a complete trading system, one that gives you a trading strategy or ‘auto trade’ option, not just a signal service.
With time, it is important that you take the time to develop your own trading strategies. Take the time to sit down and thrash out your entry and exit tactics.
Before you start trading, it is imperative that you ask yourself these questions:
1. How much money are you willing to risk per trade?
2. How much margin are you comfortable with trading on?
3. Do you have a recovery strategy in the event your trades take you below margins.
4. How do you intend to manage the overall growth of your portfolio?
5. Will you take all your profits out or reinvest them to achieve your set targets?
