I believe that Forex trading, for beginners, is hard. I would even go so far as to say that it is quite difficult to become successful - except if you have a learning coach or some sort of assistant that will walk you through the entire process, more than once. What I have learned from my many years of Forex trading is that this business, like any other legitimate business, is going to take a little time to create a luxury cushion that most investors like to have. As I have stated many times before - don't go for the quick money, slow and steady is what wins.
To be truly successful in the Forex Market, traders need to be willing to find every strategy that they can that brings pretty consistent results, and then replicate them. That's basically it, Forex doesn't contain any magic work, it doesn't have "special powers," it is simply find a good strategy and keep it. Not just strategies, but also any little "secrets" to help you navigate your way around the Market is useful too. By the way, I would like to share a little "secret" with you.
One of the tricks that I've learned, which ended up saving me countless hours and thousands of dollars. I am going to shave some time off of your learning curve, with this one little bit of information. Always bet on the Europeans. The European session starts around 8 am GMT - which seems to work to the Londoners advantage, since the eastern Europeans would have already gotten their part of the momentum going already, this is what is called the London Advance.
Because it is a brand new day for them, not to mention it is totally vulnerable, the Market generally does not have any time to do any fakes and quickly moves in its intended direction very rapidly and decisively. Each time you see the pattern emerging, all you need to do is quickly get into it and ride that trend wave. Be sure not to forget your stops, though, just in case you're wrong about the whole thing goes the opposite direction.
Remember that the rule in Forex is not "win win win," but "retain retain retain." What I mean by retain is this, the key isn't how much you make, but how much you hold on to. Always bear in mind that your goal is to lose little when you're wrong, but take as much as possible when you're correct. That's how I teach all of my students to become profitable in this crazy Market.
If I had to choose, I'd say that I believe the European session provides the best opportunities because that's where most of the trading liquidity and volume takes place. Nevertheless, it is always up to you. At the end of the day, my advice is to trade whichever session you enjoy and receive the most profit from your trades.
