It's a fact that anyone can learn to be a successful trader - but 95% of traders lose. This is not because they can't learn but they cannot get the right mindset and having the correct mindset, is the key to Forex trading success...

Of course traders can get the wrong education and simply do dumb things and some of the most common myths about making money in Forex trading are:

- You can make money with a Forex robot which has a simulated track record

- Thinking day trading or scalping works

- Thinking predictive theories work

- Thinking that there is a mathematical theory to market movement

- Thinking complex systems beat simple ones

The list goes on and on - but traders can avoid the myths and get a robust Forex strategy that works and still lose money.

This is simply due to the fact that, they cannot adapt to the unique skills needed to succeed in Forex Trading and we will look at them next.

1. You Live by your own Rules to Survive

In society, we are simply used to following rules - but in the market you are responsible for your survival and you live by the rules you set. There is no way of shifting responsibility to anyone else and most people simply hate to take responsibility and blame the markets to their wife for their demise.

2. The Lure of the Pack

Since stone age times, man has banded together for his survival, its natural to us and the pull of the pack can be strong. In Forex trading, you must stand away from the herd, or your emotions will get involved and you will lose.

95% of traders lose so standing alone is the only way to succeed - but this can be very lonely and most traders simply cannot do it.

3. We all Have Egos

There is one price that is always right and that's the market price.

No matter what you are I think, it's the price and it can only be right and you can only be wrong. It's hard to trade when the market hands you loss after loss and you look a fool - but that's what you have to do, take the loss and keep on track until you hit a home run.

4. We All Suffer Self Doubt

You are alone when you trade Forex and when you lose, you doubt your ability and its here you need the most important trait of all - discipline.

You need the discipline to keep executing the rules of your trading system through periods of losses while keeping losses small until you hit a home run.
Learning Forex Trading is Easy Getting the Right Mindset is the Key

Forex trading is not complicated, its simple and while a robust simple method is easy to learn, getting the right mindset to apply it is much harder.

As we have seen the traits needed in society, are very different to the ones you need in Forex however if you learn them, you can succeed where 95% of traders fail and enjoy currency trading success.
