So, the obvious question you may ask is why do 95% of traders lose money?

Many traders lose because they have poor methods, however many have good methods but still lose. The reason for this is - they lack the correct mindset to succeed.

1. Desire and Passion

If you want success in anything in life - including forex trading, then you must desire success. If you have desire, then you’ll do what’s required to succeed. If you look at any of the legendary traders, they all had desire - and they loved what they did with a passion.

Currency trading success requires effort, as the rewards are immense - if you have the desire to succeed, you will acknowledge this and put in the required effort to succeed and make no mistake – the rewards for your effort can be life changing.

So if you have the desire and passion to succeed then chances are you will. Now lets look at how to channel this desire and passion, to become a successful Forex Trader.

2. Work Smart Not Hard

If you have read the Forex Education section – you will have read about “the turtles” - a group of people who had never traded before but learnt to do so in 14 days and went on to make millions.

They did this by working smart, NOT hard - and there is a big difference.

In many jobs you get paid for the effort you put in. When you trade FOREX you earn your reward simply for being right.

When you learn currency trading focus on working smart and acquiring the right knowledge and ignore all the Forex Myths which cause the bulk of traders to lose.
