Hi People.
Im Steve 49, just come for the hideous world of Binary [lost about a grand] now
to the real world of trading and CFD's!
Been studying Forex and commodities for some time now and have been recently studying CFD's too, which i really like. Probably leaning towards CFD Commodities as less volatile maybe more predictable than Forex!
Im a full time Welder in a Factory and obviously have no use of a PC or even a Mobile/ cell.
So its obvious to me any Tech Analysis is a waste of time, that luxury only afforded to people who can watch candlestick charts all day, which rules me out
I 'thought' i had found a way but seem to have lost out miserably.
My idea/strategy was this....
I found an Australian Guy on Youtube who would plot Forex pairs for the coming week on Sunday night, giving predictions and Strike rates based on His chart analysis, mainly using S and R.
I followed this for a few weeks put in my orders on Sunday night, all set up with stop loss and take profit, but it really seemed very hit and miss, some of the trades being killed by the stop loss, other orders never started because the predicted rate was nowhere near my order rate, so a failure.
Im a bit down in the dumps as ive been trying lots with no result at all.
Im not a greedy Guy and am certainly not after a get rich scheme that does not exist.
I love trading, just need a little help or idea's please.
Thank you for reading.
If you want to be a full-time forex trader, here is a model you should aim to:
I don't mean it in a bad way but the majority of people on this site are losing traders or don't trade so the advice you're going to get isn't necessarily going to be correct. Infact you will find the same on pretty much every site.
Unfortunately at the end of the day it will be upto you to decide your path.
Binary trading is not neccessarily a scam but the binary trading brokers and the people/companies selling pick services are 100% scam. They are only there to take your money. Binary trading itself is very difficult as you need to understand the markets and understand intermarket relationships to be able to make money. You learnt the hard way but have managed to get out.
As for trading, it is going to take you some time to learn how to trade. If you want to learn quickly, your best bet is to find either a mentor or a trading educator who will teach you. Make sure they have a good history and can back up their claims. Don't put your money down until you are 100% certain.
In the mean time I would continue with your dayjob as you will need an income. This is probably not what you want to hear but you do need to be realistic. Trading is very tough. The rewards are obvious but there is also very high failure rate!
For these reasons, being a full-time trader is not for everyone. A lot depends on your personality and the types of stress that you are able to tolerate. In addition, I think a lot of experience (and a relatively large starting capital) is needed to make trading work as a single source of income.Honestly, I never see forex trading as a full-time job because it’s too risky. How is someone supposed to have a peaceful life when they will always be thinking about making their ends meet with their money at risk and no source of income?
