The best Forex EA's claim they can double your income every month with low risk and best of all you make no effort as the sophisticated algorithms work while you go about your daily business - is this myth or reality? Let’s find out.
I have been a trader for over 25 years and have never seen any system or trader double their money regularly, this includes even the world’s top traders on millions a year in salaries and bonuses. Of course if it were true, no one would work - banks and investment houses would sack there dealing teams and use a $100 Forex robot of course, this has not happened.
If it looks to good to be true it is and this is the case with Forex automated trading systems.
You can win at Forex trading and make a lot of money but let’s look at why the facts don’t add up in relation to the robots first.
Where are the Real Audited Track Records?
Try and find one and your in for a long search!
You get mostly back tests ( done knowing the closing prices) which is easy, or track records from the vendor themselves Its up to you if you believe them - but lets look at a fact of Forex trading which shows you why you cannot guarantee regular profits.
Fact: Forex markets cannot be predicted and do not move to mathematical formulas so if they don’t what use is a complex mathematical algorithm? None!
It’s a known fact that simple systems work best, as in Forex your trading only the odds, not certainties. In an odds based market, a simple system is more robust, with fewer elements to break than a complex one. Its obvious Forex markets don’t move to mathematics as if they did, we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market!
So can you make money trading Forex?
Of course you can but its not as easy as spending a $100 or so and making money with no effort that’s not life and certainly not Forex trading.
The way to win is to get yourself a simple Forex trading system and get the right Forex education, get confidence and trade with discipline. If you do this, the rewards can be life changing but you have to make an effort.
If you are serious about making money at Forex trading, don’t think you can simply do it with no effort.
We marvel at how technology changes our lives for the better and many think it can help in Forex but the fact below will dispel this myth.
Fact: In the last 30 years, we have seen huge advances in technology in trading yet, the ratio of winners to losers remains the same - 95%. So technology, robots etc haven’t helped.
If you want to win in Forex trading get the right education and don’t believe in the automatic income, with no effort myth. If however you do take Forex trading seriously and make an effort, huge rewards await you.
