How did you find success?

regular basis earning is really tough and only real professional trader can do it successfully. good luck , i hope you will do that very rapidly.

I tried to apply certain tools I learned from/in different profession and it appeared to work... From then on, I decided to give it a try... Have given myself a few milestones like "if it does that, I will go LIVE".. and it did.. all did... They I decided LIVE.. and after I made some profits, I decided to stick on it As soon as I will be somewhat sure, beyond "reasonable doubt" that tools are either useless, obsolete or that they might never have worked at all but it was just pure luck (low chance but still possible...)... I would leave the racket

Ok, so since I came from another profession, I trade much differently than most... although I do find some similarities of "harvest" strategies... and also some analysis match with some, which yeah it is not hard to be in sync at least with some, at least some of the time, because we are basically talking only UP or DOWN

But also... since I trade much differently... for the reasons I mentioned... I do know know what traders "talk" most of the time.. since, If I'm right... they are discussing almost completely irrelevant things/parameters that might have worked or do work some of the time though... hence they got stuck on it... For example, some might have used some indicator or whatever.. and got lucky, got profits.. and now they are fixated on it for years if not decade(s) awaiting for it to bring them the light again

Just my thoughts... And "success" might be different in trading than elsewhere.. I think success in trading is to find opportunity, system or whatever.. exploit it to the MAX.. and then RE-INVEST it... Since window of opportunity is everything... Unless one found a holy grail, then he might become billy very soon, like nothing

This market has no know-how, only a lot of experience in the market makes it successful

To be honest i never thought i will trade ever in my life, but it happened, and all this because my friend pushed me from behind , i can't say that i'm sorry because i'm doing pretty decent, over a year now and keep going, not easy but with perseverance everything is possible. PS: never traded in my hole life before this, so i can say i'm still a rookie but a positive one , everything is to be patient find the best EA that fit you

To became a successful Forex trader, trader first chose to educate himself and then trade. At First, I read the book, watched the tutorial on YouTube and looked for a mentor to teach me. Then I started trading in demo account. Then after real account.

I just read a book. In hindsight, it wasn't enough.

Success is not an easy matter in this market. If you want to become successful in the forex market, you need to have proper knowledge and experience about the market.

I think without having knowledge and good money management it will be never possible for a trader to be successful in Forex trading. Also a trader should know that how to be disciplined and have control over emtions to avoid big losses in Forex trading.

I have been in the Forex market for 5 long years. In these 5 years, I have lost 3 years but for the last 2 years, I have been able to make some profit. When I first made a loss I thought maybe I will never be able to make a profit. However, I did not stop. I learned a lot from Loss and did a lot of courses online and then got some idea about the market. I was able to profit from that idea. So I will suggest you never break down learn one day you will be a successful trader.

Success, imho comes from not doing what the 95% of retail traders do. Why do most loose, because they focus on technical analysis alone and do not take into account, in this order: Central Bank, Institutional, Fundamental, and Technical Analysis. I know for myself my trading turned around doing it this way.

Hehe, as for me I' on my way of success, it's quite difficult but I'm doing my best

For how long have you been trading?

That's the way of moving forward here. Keep that confidence up and you'll find success.

For 5-6 months I guess. The problem is I haven't studied economics/trading in univesity, so I have nothing but desire

I practiced more than 6 months at a demo account to become skilled and experienced in this platform. When I thought that I can move to the real account, I decided to trade with my money. I think, That practice helped me a lot to become what I am now.

If you want to find success, you have to learn to trade well first. There are many types of strategies in trading that require a lot of research. Must have positive psychology at all times. There are some things besides analysis that are money management, risk management. You can't make a profit without good analysis if you don't have money management. And you have to trade with discipline all the time, then you will find success in trading.

I've done a lot of study and some trading and would be very interested to find a mentor! Perhaps someone on this forum would be willing to spark up a discussion with me. Thanks!

success is a big deal in forex trading , need a long time patience with lot of knowledge and experience.

Sometimes even with a lot of time and patience it doesn't work out, unfortunately.

I offer mentorship services if you are interested in exploring that option. smatrading.io/services

Anyone worth their salt in this business knows education comes with no shortcuts, either 4-5 years+ trying to do it on your own or find a good mentor that can cut your learning curve and take you by the hand. You can look at the case-studies on the website for some examples.
