The one worked in Banking before moving to forex and brought some of what he learnt over to Forex and he is REALLY good trading off m15 for his entries calculated off H1 and H4 and sometimes even Daily and weekly targets. He has a very big account now but obviously diversifies his money into stocks and properties so that his trading isnt his only income. He has very high profitability and one morning he made 20 000 just from London Open on Cable and Fibre. The other guy started out with 30 000 Dollars and has worked it up to over 600k in 18 months. He had blown a small account before that but then was told to double 3 demo accounts before going live again and soo he did. He said the change from demo to real was very easy for him after that as he saw trades in terms of pips and percentages instead of Dollars. He recently relocated to an island and is living the dream trading still. He had his own business in before moving over to Forex, nothing in the financial Industry. Stop listening to the losers on here who say it cant be done, IT CAN 10 a month is nothing compared to what some traders can make, but it does get more difficult psychologically later with larger amounts. You dont need a large account but 5k should be seen as a minimum even though my friend has told me stories of his trader buddies which I wont repeat here because no one will believe it anyways. Keep working and keep searching The verse from the bible which says search and you will find, knock and the door shall be opened can be applied here, REALLY I have been searching and knocking and am finally getting there. Up 83 on my demo account in just over 6 months, once that is done Ill do it two more times ironing out my errors and finding which trades Im not good enough to trade and which trades I do really well in and then focus on them. I have no doubt that I will be a trader one day and that I will make a living from it. Heres a quote from my friend: quotIt does take some time to study it and get used to it. I feel that your biggest problem is that you want success now, you cant have it. The market requires you to put in some serious brain time before it will reward you, you did not become a professional rugby player the first time you picked up the ball, you had to work at it and still do every day. Trading is just like that it takes time and devotion, there are no shortcuts. Nobody ever became a millionaire by borrowing a system or attending some class. Becoming a millionaire in trading takes time, devotion, dilligence and patience. You will get knocked down a few times and will need to dust yourself off. At the end trading will reward those that appreciate it and have learned its nuances. Pick a strategy and practise, practise, practise. An old hand I know told me it would take 10,000 hours of practise to know a strategy, he was not wrong. Stick to a strategy and start learning, every strategy can be made profitable as long as it works for you, not anyone else, just you. Start reading some books too about technical analysis, there are lots of them written about equities and they work just as well. quot Stop making excuses and work you lazy bastards :-)quot pawpaw1000 on Twitter Perfect post thanks I have been here for 1 year, and I will give newbies some advice I have learned through my time trading. Do not OVER LEVERAGE or BE UNDERCAPITALIZED (they are the same thing). a 100 account is the same as a 10,000 if seen as percentages. People that are under capitalized tend to go for high percentages because they want money fast. This is disaster If the person who has 30,000 is making 10 a month, he has much less baggage on his shoulders and he can live off trading. When you have less baggage on your shoulders everything will work out at the end. If you aim for high returns you are going to ruin everything by being over emotionalnervousegreedyangryimpulsive and your account as well This is the most important part that traders need to know You can not live off trading by having a small account and aiming for astronomical returns This is a waste of time. So a person who has 3,000 (or any size) account also has to make 10 a month as well, no questions asked. This will make you disciplined and keep your emotions in check and you will succeed in the end Psychology is 95 of the game in trading. I know this is going to sound clich but one day it will make sense to you, I mean REALLY make sense to you, like an AHAA moment. Trend is your friend (When you finally REALLY understand this, you will be profitable) Let winners run and define risk (My latest trade had a RR of 20, didnt start out like that but letting it run) Learn to trade clean PA (Only way to go, you can keep going back to Indicators but youll fail) Read some books like quotTrading in the zonequot Spend HOURS in front of charts. (I have been spending between 3 - 12 hours per day) HAVE A PASSION FOR TRADING AND THE MARKETS. As a professional sportsman, I can tell you that to succeed in anything, it takes a hell of a lot of work and perseverance. When you get knocked down, get back up fast and keep moving forwards. When youre not moving forward, you are actually moving back pawpaw1000 on Twitter I know this is going to sound clich but one day it will make sense to you, I mean REALLY make sense to you, like an AHAA moment.

No more boring job, no more boss, no more wasting time with administration, pointless emails, or endless meetings. Is it a realistic ambition If so, how can it be done In this article, I am going to speak from my own experience and try to give you an idea of the challenges you will certainly face if you are going to make a living by trading forex. I hope that forewarned will be forearmed. How Much Money Can You Make Trading Forex This is the first question people always ask, even if they are only asking themselves. There is a simple answer: nobody knows. No matter how skilled a forex trader you are, you cannot control the market. You may be so good that you usually have a winning month and every year for you is a winning year. However, the exact amount that you make depends upon what happens in the market and the market cannot be predicted with certainty. For example, look at the major forex pairs for the first ten months or so of the year 2012. The market was extremely flat. Even if you were not trend trading. it would have been hard to be profitable using just about any forex strategy or approach. Later, at the end of that year, there was a huge downwards move in the Japanese yen which gave traders the chance to make a lot of easy money. The point is that the market is unpredictable, there can be several dry months followed by an enormous downpour of opportunities to profit. A sensible approach towards deciding what you can reasonably aim for before you start live trading for an income, is to calculate in terms of probabilities. For example, that in 20 of months you expect to make about 5 profit, in 10 of months 7 profit, etc. In order to calculate these probabilities, you have to work backwards from your average trading performance, drawdown, and starting capital, and calculate an average trade expectancy, i. e. how much profit or loss you will typically make per trade. Calculating Your Trading Performance The first point to begin with is how much starting capital you have to trade. It is really important to understand that the more money you are risking, and the less money you have, and the more money that you need to pay your bills, the harder things are going to be. Even if it is all the same on paper, the day-to-day experience of trading online for a living will be extremely hard psychologically for almost everyone, especially at the beginning. There is an enormous difference between live trading with money you can afford to lose to try to make enough money to pay for luxury items and risking your life savings to try to make an income which pays the bills. You must have a good idea of your typical trading performance over the full range of market conditions, as if you had been trading continuously for years. One of the best methods to do this is to use a trading simulator andor forex strategy back testing software to simulate many years of forex trading and ideally thousands of trades. You can then get a good idea statistically as to the probable range of returns you might achieve in any month. Of course, testing this over a long period of live trading is a much more superior method of determining your trade expectancy. By all means, look at forex signals to get trade ideas, but donrsquot rely upon them blindly.
