Starting right for beginer traders

Many beginner Forex traders are lured by promises of overnight wealth and instant riches. They get excited over the prospect of making $300 in an hour, and can’t wait to get started. Unfortunately, this is the type of attitude that gets most people into trouble.
Now don’t get me wrong… Forex trading CAN be a very lucrative activity (or hobby, even), provided that you know what you’re doing. Most people however, start off on the wrong foot and inevitably wipe out their entire trading accounts.
The Secret of profitable Forex trading is not about making money
This is perhaps one of the hardest concepts to grasp. It’s easy to explain, but hard to implement in reality.
You see, the ultimate goal of all retail Forex traders is to make money in the currency market, right? However, the best way to become a profitable trader is NOT to focus on making money.
Confused? Allow me to explain a little more…
The Best Way To Make Money Is To Avoid Losing Money
This is the simplest way to put it: Before you can become a profitable Forex trader, you’ll first need to be proficient at avoiding (or reducing) your losses when trading.
The currency market is so volatile that losses are inevitable. Every trader WILL encounter numerous losses throughout his or her trading career. The question is whether these traders are able to survive from these losses to trade another day.
So many people rush to make the most amount of money in the shortest period of time that they throw all caution into the wind. They don’t pay attention to any money management strategies and dive head-first into the market.
Eventually, these are the traders who wonder what went wrong when their trading accounts show a big, fat ‘Zero’. Don’t be like these traders.
