If you want to be a good trader then you really do need to put the effort in up front in order to succeed, so let’s talk about that in this video, right now!
Hi traders, it’s Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach, and today is Friday, the 13th, so hope that’s not a bad omen for you.
 
Getting Started in the World of Forex Trading
In today’s video, I want to talk about why, as Forex Traders, you need to put some effort in up front, especially. You know, ongoing effort of course, but especially if you are new to trading or your learning a new system, you definitely need to put the time in and the commitment up front because like everything that’s good, it doesn’t come easy and there’s so many people that tell you, out there, how easy Forex is to trade and how you can become a multi-millionaire and double your money every month. You know, that’s rubbish!
You cannot do that without effort and commitment and dedication to your trading. But I can definitely tell you that if you put those in, and some time and some effort and commitment, and go through the good times and the bad times, then there’s nothing that beats it!
As you can see, behind me here, I am back here at home in New Zealand. I’ve spent almost two weeks over in the UK, and its winter time over there or being a commuter over there is just not fun, in my opinion. There’s a lot of people there that just don’t look happy. You know the, sort of, mundane getting on a train, getting on a tube, working in a high rise – it’s great if that’s what you like but for me, personally, it just really highlights how lucky we are in some ways, to be Forex traders. But then, I think about it and I think, luck’s maybe not the word to use because if you’re out there being a successful trader then it didn’t just happen by accident. It took work and effort and commitment!
So, I look at it and think well, yeah that hard work pays off but, you know, like anything, it’s not easy but there’s definitely a way there to make trading work for you.
 
There’s no Such Thing as Easy Money
Just also need to tell you a quick story about, actually, a client. I won’t name names for obvious reasons but he’s come to me after about one month of being through my course and said, “Look, I have to be making 10 to 15% per month, you know, I just have to!” And I’ve said to him, look you know, that’s realistically not going to happen, to start with. Yes, sure, after several months or half a year or so that may happen but don’t expect to be making huge amounts of money to start with. You know, you should probably take a month or two, at least, on a demo and prove to yourself that any new strategy or system, whatever it is – whether it’s mine or anybody else’s – you’re able to work that and trade profitably from that.
So, I think it’s quite dangerous that people jump onto a new system or strategy and after a month or so, whether they are making money or not, they’re expecting to make ridiculous amounts of money so early and realistically, that’s likely not to happen. So, again, it comes back to the same thing – the whole theme of this video and podcast is that dedication and put the effort in.
 
A Peek at my Last Webinar – Great Trades Galore!
On the flipside of that, I held a webinar last night for my clients and I’ve had another client who has been with me since last July and so, around, seven months or so now and he’s doing extremely well and he mentioned a trade that he took on the G...
