all im looking for is to make 30 pips a day consistently. i tried so many methods but it simply does not work.

Answer
30 pips a day is unrealistic, Forex is marketed as all you need is 20 pips a day compounded and in year you're a millionaire, unfortunately every trader who lasts the course knows this is not true. For you to get 30 points a day your trading method has to be perfect, your discipline perfect, your money management perfect, your timing perfect, your emotions zero.
Re-prioritise your pip goal . Develop a time-frame and trading plan that you understand, a method that is yours. Don't invest in robots.
You might discover day trading does not suit your personality. You might find those methods that didn't work do better on a weekly time-frame or on a different pair, but you have to work on your Trading Plan and how you want to trade.


Good luck, it's frustrating game even when you become experienced, unfortunately there are no easy short cuts.

How the forex trading (iFOREX) is reliable and how much can some1 earn from it ?

Hi All:

I have been contacted by an account manager of forex trading company iForex and I was suggested that if would join their team I can earn around $1000 per month.

Can someone please guide how these sites are reliable and what about the FOREX trading business and how this compnay (iFOREX) is also relaible if anybody knows it personaly or earning anything from it.

Answer
Playing Forex can appear alluring, but the majority of people who try it lose money. All you have to do is do a web search on the words "Forex" and "lose" to see this is the consensus.

Forex is what we call a "zero sum" game. You are making a bet with someone else about whether a currency will rise or fall. For every winner there has to be a loser. If you are smarter than the average player, you may make money. If you are dumber than the average player, you are likely to lose money. Most of the people making the "bets" in Forex are highly trained professionals at banks and other institutions. You are unlikely to beat them at this game.

Actually Forex is not quite a zero sum game. It's a slightly negative sum game as the Forex broker takes a small percentage each time in the spread. It's a small amount but over a hundred trades, it ends up being a considerable amount of money. So the average player is likely to lose money, and remember the average player is a highly trained professional and probably smarter than you.

There is a lot of luck in Forex, and if you play it, you will have some periods of time where you make money. This is usually because you are having a lucky streak, not because you have suddenly become an expert Forex player. However, most people are unwilling to admit their success is due to luck. They become convinced they have a system that works, and lose a lot of money trying to refine it.

Further complicating the problem is the large number of Forex scams on the internet. Most Forex websites are of questionable honesty. You will find many people on the Internet that claim they made a lot of money using Forex. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say: "Go to Forexcrap . com/q2347." The "q2347" is a signal to the Forexcrap site that you are being referred to them by "q2347." If they sell something to you, "q2347" gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you. Also there are a good number of trolls out there that like to pretend they are successful forex traders just for the fun of it.

I would recommend not trying to do Forex at all, unless you are a trained professional. It's like playing poker with people better than you, with the house constantly taking a small percentage from the pot.
