Try watching a 5 minute chart as it is being traded in real time, then predict which way it will go. How many times did you get it right? Your not looking for 5 pip movements, but 10-20 pips with minimal movement in the wrong direction to make money. So what was your success ratio? If it’s 50:50 you’ll go broke, you gotta be right at least 75% of the time, minimum!

Everone that is successfully trading on the Forex has studied, some with major financial institutions others with self study courses, of which there are many. Choosing the one that suits you can be difficult and don’t get caught by the all too common perception that high price means high quality. Unfortunately some of the most expensive courses are some of the worst!
Friends of mine paid a large sum for one such course and they were never taught how to set up and use different indicators, shown to recognise an entry set-up and confirming it with different time frames or even how to establish and test trading strategies. Needless to say they have not had much success.
A good Forex trading course should assume you know nothing and take you from the beginning, explaining every aspect of trading; From terminology to chart indicators, margin lending and leveraging, through to trading psychology and risk management, then teach you how to develop and test strategies that will become the core of your trading.
