Forex Training: The Key To Success
The key to succeeding with Forex, just like in anything else in life, is to get the proper training. Common wisdom is that who you know is more important then what you know, but in some cases that's just not true. Does it matter who you know when you're trying to drive your car, or to paint a picture? No, of course not. Trading is a skill like anything else. To get good at it, all you need is the time, the materials... and of course the proper training.
So, how do you find the training you need? The answer is, that there is no one good answer. There are literally millions of sources of information, from books, to articles, to video courses and seminars... different people learn in different ways, and it's up to you to find out what works best. My advice, is to practice something I like to call "information overload".
Information Overload is a technique of total immersion. You completely submerse yourself in the information you are studying, so that when the time comes to put it to use, you have no hesitation. If you just want quick and easy success, you can just buy some Forex software - and that will work, but you will do much better if you fully and completely understand what you are doing, rather then letting a program do it for you.
The first step in information overloading is to find an initial source. So head down to your nearest library, and find the shelves with the Forex training books. I'm sure there are some. Once you've found them, just close your eyes and pick one randomly - that's your first information source. Go check it out.
Great! You've picked out a book, and now you just have to read it. This trick here, is to read it fast - keep it with you all the time, and every spare moment (on your break, in a line, during commercials on tv...) you read it. Even just a little bit, even just a paragraph or two, it all counts. And, most importantly, read it just before you fall asleep - several pages, at least. This is essential.
You see, whatever you are thinking of immediately before falling asleep, is what gets imprinted most strongly on your mind. The purpose of all this reading is not to learn anything. The chances are, if you picked a hard book, you may not even understand it. Doesn't matter. Don't even try to figure it out. Just keep reading, passing all the info through your mind, until you finish the book.
After you've done that book, go and get another one. Keep going until you've got enough info stored away, and you're ready for the next stage. It will be obvious when you're ready - you'll start thinking about Forex randomly, you're brain producing facts and figures, information you weren't consciously aware of. You might even start dreaming about Forex - don't worry, that's a good sign!
The next part of the information overload process is active learning. Go back to your library, and take another look at the books they have there. You'll probably be surprised at how much you can already understand of them, and that's without doing any real study - just the total immersion. Allow your subconscious instinct to guide your choice, and pick out a book for you to learn from.
Now you've overloaded yourself with Forex information, studying it suddenly becomes incredibly easy. As you read through the book, carefully, you'll probably experience a sense of deja-vu, as all the things you didn't know you'd learned fall into place. Take care this time, and really study the material, and you'll be astounded at how fast you can grasp it.
Well, you know know everything you need to master Forex, or anything else for that matter. Of course, for Forex in particular, there is plenty more advice I could give you - but this will do to start with. If you really want to accelerate your learning, I can also suggest you use a program to help you. Most Forex trading software comes with the option to simulate trades, and this is excellent practice - hands on experience is a great way to learn, and a huge help if your just starting out. So if you've got the money to spare, I would strongly suggest you find some decent Forex training software to help you out.
