Consider this fact:
Despite the vast amount of FOREX education available, the bulk of traders still lose.
The reason for this is most of the accepted wisdom does not work.
Here we will look at the FOREX education you need and a simple system thats FREE That can make you big consistent profits.
Before we start looking at FOREX education itself, lets look at the equations you need to be successful trading FOREX.
Equation for success 1
Robust Method + Confidence + Discipline = Long term currency success.
Now, when you trade you need a method thats simple and you understand.
Why?
Because if you want to make money trading you are going to have short term losses and you need to the discipline to follow your method when these occur.
If you dont you will not have a method at all.
Many traders FOREX Education involves following systems they dont understand or gurus and they simply cant stick with them and fail.
Equation for success 2
Your method needs to have the following characteristics:
Liquidate losers quickly + Run Profits
Obvious one, but today people receive FOREX education that teaches them to trade short term and even worse day trade.
We have written about this in our other articles and its a waste of time. You wont win, it will just be expensive FOREX education!
Why?
Because, the time frame is to short and moves are random.
You may have profits but you cant run them in a day and they can never cover your inevitable losses and high transaction costs you accumulate.
Avoid FOREX Education that teaches you short term trading unless you like losing your money

There is no correlation between how complicated a method and how successful it is.
