Trading Forex, The 1-2-3 Knock Out Punch.

Lesson #1: The Forex Flight Center

Navigating your way through any of the financial markets can be overwhelming. The trepidation

experienced from the extremities of high altitude dropping down to low, can cause even the most

steadfast person to feel queasy.

Lesson #2: Forex Cadet Flight Plan

There are millions of traders out there who come to the financial markets and expect to profit – that

is absolutely absurd! First of all they have no or limited knowledge or understanding; they have no

plan of attack or understanding of what they are trying to achieve (personal & financial goals); and

they certainly have no Trading Plan.

Lesson #3: Forex Cadet Airplane Hanger

In this lesson we will explore the various instruments and tools available to the Forex Trader. This

analysis comes under two headings; technical analysis and fundamental analysis.

Lesson #4: Forex Cadet Pilot Training

Emotional control makes a massive contribution to the success of a trader. The secret to trading is

not in a particular secret plan or set of strategies that you need to uncover, instead it is the ability to

always remain emotionally in control; detaching from any external influences that will be tempting

you to take actions which are outside of your Trading Plan rules.

Lesson #5: Forex Flight Contingency Plan

A contingency plan is an amazing foresight into potential emergencies, and many scenarios that are

not blatantly obvious. Airlines have teams of consultants imagining absolute ‘worst case scenarios,’

then creating systems and procedures around them in the event that they ever arise.

Lesson #6: Forex Joy Flight, Downward Spiral

When I express to people that you can also make money when prices fall, a strange blank

emptiness passes over peoples faces, then an awkward half-smile appears and they suddenly

change the subject as though they didn’t even hear what I said.

Lesson #7: Forex Cadet Flight Simulator & Take Off!

Back Testing is the process of applying your trading plan rules back over historical data. The

brilliance of this is that you can ‘experience’ various market conditions (bull, bear and sideways

markets) over a shorter time frame (hours), which in reality would have taken months or years.

Lesson #8: Forex - Market Cycles

There is an amazing phenomenon within the financial markets that can help traders to enter and

exit turning points with great pinpoint accuracy. This phenomenon is known as ‘market cycles.’

These cycles regularly present themselves in every market and in every time frame.

Lesson #9: Forex Market Reversals

For the astute investor, reversal patterns can alert them to changes in the markets underlying trend,

giving them earlier entry into a new trend or a hasty exit from one that is about to end. These

patterns are made with bar charts, candlestick charts, and swing charts.

Lesson #10: Trading As A Business

Aside from what many people believe, trading does not need to be so complicated and expensive to

set up. Depending on what your trading goals are, it is these that will determine how complex your

set up needs to be. Regardless if you are trading full or part time, you really need to treat your

trading like you would any other business.

"Traders aren't

born, they're made.

A lot of hard work

and the right tools,

and the right team

behind you, that's

really all you need.”
