How To Be Successful Forex Trader- Introduction

Most brokers agree that 90% of all traders lose money, 5% of them break even, and only 5% make money. These statistics are not that encouraging for us traders, but it is the reality.

I have good news for you though, the mistakes that cause this rate of failure are common and we have already identified most of them.

Some of these common mistakes are because they are lured into trading for the wrong reasons, and some others because they fail to work through some guidelines.

Being aware of these common mistakes and by learning to take the proper steps to deal with them, the odds will change in your favor.
