Forex secrets, you will see lots of them online and ways to beat the market but this article contains the real secret of Forex success and all the super traders have it.
Let me tell you a story first; it's an experiment which was conducted by a famous trader called Richard Dennis. He set about teaching a group of people to trade, in just two weeks and none of them had any previous trading experience.
So what happened?
They all became super traders and made hundreds of millions of dollars, so were they all geeks in the first place or really intelligent?
Not at all, the group included a professional card player, a security guard and an actor, so how did these ordinary people achieve success so quickly?
Dennis was a good teacher but he knew what traders need to win, they needed a simple system but more importantly, they needed the right mindset to apply it.
Most traders lack the right mindset and getting it is the real secret of success.
Anyone can learn a system and the best Forex trading systems are simple; the one these traders used was simply a long term trend following system based on breakouts, nothing complicated and anyone could learn it.
What Dennis did do though, was to instill in his traders the discipline to follow the system and keep their losses small and turn their profits.
Now discipline sounds easy but it's hard even for the best traders, to keep executing a system when it's losing and you look stupid, hurts the ego! Emotions can get involved and that leads to disaster as traders run their losses, over trade, override their system or quit.
So there is no Forex secret which allows you beat the market which all the cheap losing Forex Expert Advisors claim and you can't make money with no effort either. The real secret of any trader who makes money is to be able to apply their system and not deviate from it and keep their losses small and run their profits.
Richard Dennis proved the point, that anyone could learn to trade and do so quickly and you can learn to trade and win, as Forex trading is a learned skill.
What you need to focus on is getting confidence and always trading with discipline and see losing short term, as part of winning long term.
In conversations with the traders Dennis taught, they all had no problem learning the system but they all commented that the hard part was trading with discipline.
So the real Forex secret of success is get a simple system and follow it with discipline and this has always been so and always will be. The good news is you can succeed if you want to and enjoy currency trading success in around 30 minutes a day.
