A lot of people trying to become profitable Forex traders are going about it all wrong.   This error is easy to make because it seems logical.   The truth is, learning everything about Forex and trading is not the way to become a good trader.   What most people need to do is to stop learning more systems, techniques and methods, and start practicing and gaining real experience.

It seems logical that if you know more about Forex, you should make more money trading Forex, but that is not necessarily true.  There comes a time when too much knowledge makes your trading frustrating and overly complex.  You add so many different methods and techniques to your system that it becomes very hard to trade.  Or, you lose confidence in your trade setups because you have so much conflicting information.  Confusing yourself and not having the confidence to place the trade is not the way to make your account balance grow.

There are so many ways to trade Forex, your education could last a lifetime.  But the good news is, you don’t need to know everything about Forex to succeed, and you shouldn’t even try.  If you learn a simple trading system, and gain the necessary experience to master the system, you’ll be much more successful than learning every concept about Forex and trading in general.

The only way to become a superior trader is to TRADE more.  And learning to trade is not trading.  Real experience comes from learning a system and placing trades in live market.  This way you can learn things about the trading system itself, you as a trader and the Forex market in general that you could never learn from a book, a video or watching other traders trade.

Trading Forex is a skill based activity. And like all things that require skill, you need to practice, practice, practice.  The simple act of learning does not help you improve your skills so you can trade better and more profitably.

If I wanted to teach you how to shoot a basketball, I would spend only about 5 minutes going over the technique of shooting.  Then you would spend the rest of the time practicing.  That is the only way to develop the skills necessary to make baskets.

Learning Forex is exactly the same thing.   The time you spend to learn the trading system from a book, video or mentor is relatively short.   But the process of applying what you learn needs to take place by placing trades in live market conditions. This is the only way you are going to master the trading system and gain the experience you need to trade the system and make real money.
