Many traders have been trying for a long time to beat the forex. It is not easy. If someone comes look at forex how prices move he would say it is easy. But it is not. It is very difficult it is even difficult to make 1 pip! In forex you cannot have a guaranteed 1 pip. If someone does have a system to make a 1 pip "guaranteed" I will make him a millione.. oh no a TRILIONE. Why? Because you can repeat the process again again leverga it more more! But this 1 pips guarantee is impossible.The main barrier to achieving this is the EDGE. Forex has an EDGE over us the traders. Take for example the casino. Take the roulette. The edge in the roulette is the green zero when playing on colors. when playing on numbers the edge is the payout. In Roulette there are 37 numbers. But if you guess the number you will win 36 to 1. Taking for granted that the outcome of the game are rom numbers then if you play for longterm you can never win. The same happens when betting on black or red. You get paid 2-1 but if the outcome is green you lose!The same thing happens in forex. Do not tell me that forex is not rom. If you look at forex closely you see that market moves in patterns or trends but if you look at it a wider view the market is just a rom market. NO ONE knows the outcome even Bernanke. Because how traders act towards news only God knows.Now the Edge in forex market is the spread. Because everytime you enter a position pay for the spread. Before making any winning you will have to counter this spread. If we suppose that we do a million rom trade we would not end up breakeven but losing. This is why people say that all systems in longterm LOSE.This is a fact. But one should be clever enough to come up with ways to eliminate this edge.The following are some suggestions ways to eliminate this edge which forex has over you.
1. USE a dealer which gives you the least spread available in market
2. USE a dealer with no comission
3. Use good exit strategies in winning trades (take profits)
4. Use wider stop trading. This is an important issue. Because according to above you will tend to end up losing the longer or the more you trade. It is better to trade less win more. For example if you acheive your target for this month you should stop trading until you see the conditions are favorable again. The less you trade the more chance you have to end up in profit.
5. Every pips counts. Try to save pips. See my previous tips "real trader's tips"
