Where should I start?

August 2007 a teacher I had gave me the link of a Forex page that paid between 10% and 20% of your investment+ the monthly accumulated.

I didn’t trust but I try with a small investment to see what this was about. I had not idea about Forex at that time.

That company where I put the money did pay and send it to me 6 month after with a 100% profit.

But I thought, if they can pay me 100% in 6 month I could make more, and also it’s going to be more entertained to know what is behind this.

Because of that I started to investigate and search information and I got in to many pages, demo accounts, real accounts, course, robots, etc.



So I got passion for Forex, I love the fast of the market, the adrenaline, all the options, etc. but I still feel naked, I feel I don’t know anything, and with this information I can’t even star to trade, because is just the beginning of thousands of maths rules, software, oscillators, resistance support levels and lines, charts mathematics, graphic Fundamental analyses, candles, lines, BUM!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started to play in real 2 weeks ago In I already seem I am in the middle of a Tsunami, but I can’t lie I enjoy it, I love it, I love not be able to sleep to wake up and go to see the chart, I love be inpatient waiting for that candle to go up just 3 pips more.
But to be honest with everyone, I fell alone. I thing nobody tells me the truth, what is this, where I am now?, and…. Where can I get honest and truly help? I want to be a trader, I want to be a professional of this, but what is the way? Trade in real account, loose everything and start again, that is not an experience, that is like a crime. I am sure I can do this without having to lose all my deposit.

I d like to receive help, I need honestly, and if some one can help me I will really appreciate.

My name is Marcos, I am Argentinean, but a moved to Bristol England 3 years ago.
I don’t have money to pay for your advise yet, but I can give you my time in exchange for your words.

Thanks lot

I'll tell you a piece of truth. Forex is not some great big interactive internet game, it's a business. Trading for the excitement as you are doing will eventually cause your downfall. Put a rein on your emotions.

If something is too good to be true, experience have told me it is.

Passion is some of the best fuels for learning and staying in-front of your computer 12-16 hours a day those first years to "suck" up knowledge and experience, IMO. And not saying this is the "key" as nothing can be achieved with the correct state of mind. Be open-minded but critical. When you find a system make sure you look for errors and failure instead of successful trades.

Success doesn't come cheap. Some sacrifices need to be done. The size is calculated by you only. I don't believe in "something for nothing".

Since you don't know what you're looking for I can't provide you with any "extraordinary" links as you'll find it in here yourself

But I have this pdf which should be helpful. By Dr. Van Tharp

Edit: Couldn't attach this pdf book too big it says. If you want I can send it by mail or so.

Hola Marcos , I got in to Forex in a similar way than you ,3 years ago .


I have discovered that most of the systems works the problem is to stick to it and not to look for a new one as soon as you get a few positions against you . Discipline and “ Paciencia “ is the name of the game .


I really recommend you to play for a few month with a demo account , try a few systems but stick to them for at least 2 or 3 weeks before you decide if is profitable or not .


And don't even try any chart less than 1H .


Hope it helps.http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Well, another useless piece of advice. Most systems don't work. 99% don't. IF it was simply about sticking to a system, you would be seeing hundreds of trading bots making millions all over the internet. Turn the pc on, go to the beach, comeback to see you account up 1000%... ahhh.. what a bliss... NOT

Marco,

Get a one-legged dwarf for an evening, now that's exciting. Pushing buttons and watching money disappear is not exciting, it's painful.

Haha
