First, the average newb is likely to make some mistakes. They may try to cut corners, dodging anything they do not understand instead of making the effort to ask questions. This may be fatal to a system. So the first thing to do if you’ve been trying a system in demo, say, and it is not working, is to study all of the material again and see whether there’s something that you have missed. It could be that you misinterpreted something or did not take something into account. Many times this may turn up something that will have an impact on your results.
2nd, different folks have different trading styles. We aren’t robots. Allegedly two folk operating the same system with the same beginning investment using the same broker should have the same results, but if you set up 2 traders in this situation they might probably still do things in other ways.
Are you acting quick enough when you get a signal, or are you easily distracted so the price moves before you place your trade? Or is it not your fault? Are you seeing too much slippage? Maybe you need to think about changing your broker.
And even if you are using a robot, you could think that everybody using it’ll have the same result, but that is not true. A fast look in the forums will prove this. Folk set it up differently, they may use different pairs, they’ve got it connected at various times, there are 100 factors that can change.
So do not lose hope. The reality is that everyone has to do some work when they start out as a forex trader, no matter if they’re allegedly the ideal character type, which most of us aren’t. Sure it’ll potentially help if you are a cool headed sort of person who can handle a certain amount of stress and maybe even works better under strain. It will also help if you are not freaked out by the thought of basic math. However, you most likely are the right kind of person or you wouldn’t even have an interest in trying to earn money with currency trading.
