Number 1:


The time you trade matters! It matters a lot, in one of my coaching classes I asked a lady that had a 10-year-old son were her son would be on a Tuesday money around 9.30 am and she replied without hesitating in class! So I went on a bit further to ask if that Tuesday morning were in August. and her face changed and said of course the timing matters August is not the season for school. The same thing applies to trading the markets. If you trade during high volatility brought on by the news, you will likely get a better and faster financial reward. So pls do not “Just hope” something will happen your way. Click on Forex factory, the calendar will greatly help you succeed as a trader. Here is the link for forex factory.


Number 2:


The best Forex traders, I mean the most successful forex and stock traders never trade alone, they always trade-in groups, they meet online, in groups, in person, and have early morning calls, this helps to focus, motivate and sharpen your psychology and when you do lose a trade because you will that same group will cheer you on to your next win or cheer you through your next loss!


Group trading is a massive advantage, especially when your group knows exactly what they are doing! Check out this trade and group discussion with them here.

P=Patience, Wait for the right trades “trade entry mastery” (T.E.M) is vital do not rush to enter any trade because you heard down the road Joe Bloggs made a million overnight. Trades keep coming “like a bus or train, do not be in a rush and enter a losing trade.


P=Practice, Without practice trading forex Instruments, will always seem foreign and strange and that’s because it has not become an Intentional behaviour to consistently practice how to trade even in a virtual account. Note: Practice is best achieved within small groups of committed forex traders, so don’t do it alone!


Persistence= Without the will and behaviour to repeat your new business daily, I’m afraid this may just remain a good idea that will materialise “One day” You need to be dogged with trading, Forex is a beast no single man can tame, but if you learn to ride the waves, I promise it will make you cash rich!
