Could You Truly Bring In $1000 Each Day By Trading Forex?
You possibly can make A lot of money trading forex, though you must be reasonable about it. You aren’t going to deposit $1000 into a forex account and earn $1000000 overnight. And even if it truly is possible, your emotions would pretty much keep you from earning anything at all until you figure out how to handle them and trade systematically.
Let me try and put it into perspective for you. Once you know what you’re doing in forex, you could easily average 5% gains every week without spending too much time watching the charts. No problem. Just learn how to trade effectively enough to earn 5% each week. But do it like this…
1. Open a simulated account at one of the countless brokers. Be sure the account has only 1000 dollars in it.
2. Place trades of .1 standard lots. Do not ever place trades bigger than that.
3. Aim to earn (or lose) no more than 20 pips for each trade. Use a well defined trading system and stay with it.
4. Keep trading this way until you have doubled your account. Don’t quit even if it does take a long time.
5. Open up a $1000 live account with actual money and repeat the process. Pay special attention to your feelings as you gain and lose Your own money and be aware of how very different it feels from a simulated account. Don’t let your feelings dictate your actions. Stay with the system.
Now here’s the thing. Whenever your account increases by $1000, you can increment your lot size by .1. As your own skill increases so will your profit. Before too long it will seem like you’ve been doing it forever and you can be easily living solely off the income from trading.
