Forex trading is one of the market that needs much knowledge before one can venture into it or else one is bound to lose everything that one may invest in the market. This is because it is a volatile market that can bring fortune or woe within a seconds.

Knowing more about how the market works is the first step. We need to gather as much as possible some information about how we can navigate through the market. This is why it is imperative to have a mentor to guide us through on his to run the market without constant losing.

Another skill to have is called patience. Patience is a skill to those that know how to use it. There are some times that the market will seem it will crash, it is only a man of patience that will have to be steadfast and not doing panic selling. I have seen someone that sold his cost after s drop of 250% and the market later increased by 580%.

We should learn how to be analytical in our decision. In contrary to many opinions, forex is not gambling where people just do most of guess works, forex involves some analysis before one can arrive at the decision.

Your mathematics skills are needed in forex because you will be able to relate past event with the present experience in order to predict the future and that is what forex is all about. This requires analytical skills and you will only get analytical skills if you are versatile in mathematics. That is why the forex investors that are equipped in analytics would be very successful in Forex. They have the ability to analyse and the past and presents and use the information gotten to predict the future.

The use of indicators don't help in this regard, using of the pure price action should be paramount because the pure price action will give you an headway in whatever you wanted to do in Forex.

Any plans that you are actually creating in forex must be real, you shouldn't be chasing the shadow. You should develop a realistic plan and with this you'll be able to achieve a milestone in forex trading.

Being disciplined is another important factor because you need to be disciplined in your trading career. You shouldn't trade all the time. At times, the best strategy to use is not to trade at all because when the market isn't favorable you need to be disciplined and not go in to trade at that particular point in time
