MY WORLD OF TRUTH

Forex trading however is extremely volatile and one wrong move can spell disaster to your savings. This is why people who do not have much to risk are discouraged to get into forex trading as emotions can cloud their judgment and may force them to make the wrong decisions.

One thing good though about the business is the fact that when you get the hang of it, it can provide you with financial security. If you are deciding on getting into forex trading and don't know much about the industry. Here are some of the most common mistakes people commit. Make sure that you read each one and heed the warnings.

1. Don't Aim For High Gain.

Some people go into forex trading thinking that with a small amount of money, they will be able to make millions. This is a misconception. Forex trading will not make you millions in such a short time. In fact, to individuals who play the market, the best that they often get from it is financial security and money for retirement. So don't set your hopes too high. If anything, get that small amount of money that you have and just roll it again after some gains. Even if your gains are not as big, at least you are sure that you are gaining and can still use that same money that you invested to gain again.

2. Don't Rely On Others

Although it is good to have a mentor or have somebody experienced in the business give you advice, there is still an advantage in being able to form your own judgment and make your own analysis. Don't rely on other people for tips and advice all the time. Learn about the business on your own by reading books on the subject and testing your theories and analysis. You can do this by comparing your take on the market with those on television or in the newspapers.

3. Don't Rely On Luck

Forex trading is not some lottery drawing that will win your big money if you are just lucky enough. It does not work that way. Predicting when a currency will go up and go down will not cut it. You should be able to understand how the market reacts.
