Automation is in the world of Currency Forex Online Trading truly the lazy man’s way of trading the forex. Also, it’s a wise method of accomplishing it. You may ask why? Because it does a great job in eliminating one of the greatest snakes in the grass, You!

After trading now for more than six years, I’ve had a bumpy ride with many ups and downs that FX online trading has to offer. But what if you don’t want to make all these experiences yourself? What are the key factors that make the difference between the 5% (or even less) that make those nice profits month after month and the other 95% who are struggling and burn account after account?

To make a long story short, there are some key factors which are absolutely crucial to your success if you want to survive in the sea of sharks (Brokers, Institutional Traders, Banks, Advertisers and most important: You. So here they are:

What you should know to become one of the best Currency Forex Online Trading Experts
The eight basic guidelines you have to follow to become a successful Currency Forex Online Trading Pro

1. Never trade with money you can not afford to loose. When you are in a trade, you don’t want to be on pins and needles in front of your computer. Hence don’t do it!

2. At any time, you should not invest more than 3% of the remaining balance of your trading account. The stop/loss you have to have in place must secure this, no matter what.

3. Always start with a demo account for at least one month if you are testing something new. Most Automated FX Trading Software Systems require a minimum of 3-6 month testing time to get familiar with the software and the trading “habits” of it.

4. After a minimum of one month of profitable trading one should switch to real or live trading. There should be a minimum of twenty trades, the more, the better it is. Don’t forget, the requirements are minimum ones.

5. If you manage to find a good FX Trading Software that allows you to be consitently profitable, be sure to take a part of the profits out of the market and then trade along with the rest. I would recommend to take out 50% of what you’ve gained each month.

6. Keep a trade log. Always write down, or put your trading data in an excel file. Most MT4 brokers provide you with a log file anyways.

7. Study the trade transactions of the trading software. This is among the most crucial aspects of enhancing your comprehension of the automatic trading programs. Frequently you will see similarities and patterns in the trading, which will provide a deeper knowledge of strengths and weaknesses of the systems. Your whole tradng will profit from it.

8. Stick to the rules 1-7. This is the most difficult task in my view. I am tired of watching traders lose their entire savings simply due to the fact that they could not stick to some basic guidelines.

That’s all there is for the basics to get started. If you only follow these simple rules you are well ahead of so many others who struggle in the currency forex online trading market. Get your homework done, stick to the basics and you are on your way to the top 5% who are making serious money with fx online trading.
