That happens with me too /rage

Do we just need to stick it out then and wait if we can see a clear trend? I've gotten round my problem now by using indicators and it's helping a lot but those price spikes still scare the living daylights out of me.

Yeah unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about those price spikes. If you wait and wait for a clear trend, you will be waiting forever and you will never be able to make a trade because you will never be sure. Been there, done that.

What I do is try to develope a system that can tolerate those price spikes.

Yeah I've figured that the best option for me as a beginnner seems to be to take the MMORPG approach to trading where I just patiently grind my way to wealth. It's a good thing that I've had plenty of practice already in the games with that sort of thing rofl

Well, you should tell her: "I already did. This IS my job."

I think my biggest obstacle right now being a newbie is that i am in the state of "always eager to pull the trigger"...

My biggest frustration was the lack of support from various forex trading brokers. The way I overcame this was to test before I invested and would suggest the same to every newbie trader. I had the most luck with FxPro http://www.fxpro.com/trading-conditions and found them to be the most responsive of all the brokers that I tried.

I was wondering if anyone would like to share what is your biggest challenge about Forex trading. What is the biggest frustration or obstacle you have had so far in making this work as a real business.
Hi Arcane83.

I use to trade 15 min charts but moved away from it and only trade 4 hour and daily charts. The hardest part or obstacle for me? Patience.

`Patience emphasizes calmness, self-control, and the willingness or ability to tolerate delay.
I personally like the part where it say – ability to tolerate delay. That’s the secret of trading – to tolerate delay and wait for the market to come to you before you take a trade.
Regards
Wild Dog

Most of the traders lose their money in the forex market because of their wrong decision-making process. Most traders can not make the right decision at the right time.

True, controlling greed is like controlling yourself and it is one of the most difficult things to do as a human being. As humans, there is a selfish-gene present in us that dictates us to amass as much as we can in a world of finite resources.
