There is a journey every serious Forex trader must make if they want to go from just dreaming about Forex success to actually making real money trading Forex.  And this journey is a 3 STEP PROCESS!   Unfortunately, most would-be Forex traders don’t take all the steps necessary to succeed.   Here are the steps you must take.

Step 1: The Forex Dream

This is the easiest and most fun step.  This is when you first hear about trading Forex and realize you can potentially make a lot of money.  You want to get into the action because you’ve heard of people improving their lives, and you want to be one of them.

You start to dream about what your life would be like if you could learn to trade Forex successfully.  Maybe you would finally have the financial freedom to quit the job you’ve hated for so long. Maybe you would improve your lifestyle by getting a bigger house or finally buying the car you really want. Or maybe you’d just enjoy the freedom of not living month to month any more.

So, the first step is to dream.  It is WHAT you want from Forex trading.

Step 2: The Forex Method

Well, now that you know you want to make money trading Forex, the big question is, HOW?

Most people start out by looking for the solution that seems the easiest and which will take the least amount of time, effort and money.  This leads to buying automated Forex robots, custom indicators and other cheap systems that promise quick and easy profits.  But as you’ve probably figured out by now, being successful is more involved than just learning a quick “system” from a $97 ebook.

The trick to get through this step is to find the Forex solution that fits your personality, goals and expectations.  But don’t be fooled.  Finding the right solution is only part of the battle.

Now you need to ask, “Am I really going to do what it takes to succeed as a Forex trader?”  This brings us to the 3rd step, which is definitely the hardest step of all.

Step 3: YOUR Forex Responsibility

There are a lot of different ways to trade the Forex market profitably. UNfortunately, none of them will work if you don’t do your part to make them work for you.  Regardless of the system or service you use, you are the KEY to your own success.

All too often you see traders complaining so-and-so method doesn’t work, xyz technique was garbage or Joe Smoe doesn’t know what he is talking about.  Obviously, they gave something a try and it didn’t work out for them.  But in my experience, 9 times out of 10 it is because they didn’t do what is necessary to make it work for them.  (Yes, there is some garbage out there, but some great systems as well).

Once you decide you want to live the DREAM of trading Forex, you need to figure out HOW exactly you are going to do it.  But there is one more step you need to make.  And in most cases, this is the most important step of all.

Once you’ve chose HOW you want to trade Forex, you need to dedicate yourself to gaining real trading experience and developing the skills necessary to trade your system perfectly under live market conditions.  Don’t underestimate the importance of your trader mindset and money management in your success. Your success is dependent on more than just the trading system you use.  How you trade the system and manage you money is just as important.  (This is the step most would-be Forex traders skip.  They go back to dreaming and looking for a different trading method and get stuck in this loop forever!)

Dreaming about Forex is easy. Finding a successful Forex method that fits your personality, goals and expectations is a little harder. But, resolving to do whatever it takes until you master the trading method is the hardest step of all.  And sadly, this is where most traders fail.
