Forex Day Trading - The Major Critical Mistake That Make Day Traders Lose!

If you are considering forex day trading then you need to read this article first. Why? Because, day traders have been making the simple critical error for a number of years its obvious yet traders still make it and its this.

Day trading does not work anymore.

We all have the same information at the same time and all moves in short term time frames are random. We will look at this more in a moment but let's first give you the reality check on all those trading systems that claim big gains.

They all make big claims but there not real gains there in hindsight on paper and you will always see a disclaimer. Tell me would you trust any system with this on it:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

I wouldn't but thousands do - this disclaimer allows you to make up anything you want and say hey it's just a simulation!

What good is that? - We need to make money going forward and don't have the luxury of knowing the closing prices.

Also why on earth would you trust someone saying how great their system is when they haven't had the courage to trade it for themselves. Of course if it worked then you wouldn't, even need to sell it judging by the track records the vendor would be rich beyond their wildest dreams - yet they offer you these riches for $100 or so bucks UMM.

You cannot tell where short term prices are going and that's a fact and that's why you never see a day trader make real gains - Your going to lose so don't try. If you want to trade short term use a forex swing trading system.

Moves are short term a few days to around a week, you get plenty of action and it can be very profitable. You will find lots of swing traders who make money and no day traders.

To win you need to get the odds on your side and that means trading a longer term time frame. If you have not discovered swing trading check it out.

Day traders tend to be lazy or arrogant or think currency trading is easy - well its not that's why 95% of traders lose all their money ( 100% in the case of day traders!) and of course you wouldn't expect it to be with the rewards on offer

Fact is you need to get the right forex education and get the odds on your side and you can't do that in a random trading environment.

Forex day trading will see you lose because you can't get the odds on your side, so try swing trading and you can get the odds on your side and enjoy forex trading success.
