Trading in Pairs

Sometimes it’s really hard to get motivated. I think that the majority of us suffer from this lack of motivation from time to time. We all have things that we want to accomplish and we make excuses – there are not enough hours in the day, I was going to do it but then XYZ came up. The truth is if we want to do something we should push and motivate ourselves to do it. Believe me, I understand that it is easier said than done. One of the most underrated and underused ways to get motivated and keep motivation going strong is by taking part in an activity with someone else. You push each other...

The Truth About Financial Freedom

Financial freedom, or financial independence, is generally defined as a person having enough funds to be able to live their life the way they desire without being burdened by financial worry. In this day and age, I believe that financial freedom is more of a mindset – it is about more than having disposable money and it is about more than being rich. Financial freedom is a state of mind that allows us to be carefree and to do the things that we desire and act in a way that truly represents who we are. Everyone seems to be striving to become rich and to score a job with a six-figure salary...

Why Do People Assume That Trading Makes You Rich?

There are several assumptions that are made almost immediately when people learn that I am involved in the foreign exchange market.

Let’s address the first point first. One of the biggest appeals to me when I began my journey into the forex market was the flexibility. It isn’t like the stock exchange market where there is a physical building dedicated to traders; I think this is what so many people find appealing. You can trade in...

Have You Paid To Do A Trading Course But Not Invested In Your Own Trading Account?

Most courses that teach you about forex, the market and trading come at a price. This cost is justified by the fact that the knowledge that you are gaining on the courses are a skill that can lead to financial independence. That being said I find it quite astounding that delegates are willing to invest a significant amount of money to learn but then do not take these skills that they have learnt and apply them to the market. They have the resources they need and at least some experience live trading (a perk of Plan B Trading courses) but do not make an investment in their trading account. If...

Why you can’t read a textbook and beat the banker

Recently I have been connecting to a number of different traders on social media platforms. I find it very interesting to find out how and why people became involved in trading (especially in the ForEx market) and how they set about educating themselves about the market. A common theme amongst those that I have asked is research and reading up on the industry. I agree that this is a great way to gain knowledge on the industry and to get an insight into the world of trading. It is always essential to understand the theory behind a skill but it is vital to gain real experience before you...
