Did forex fail me, or did I fail? Well I have been at it 4 years now, and I have gained a lot of experience, and there is a lot of things I have learned, but the biggest, and I am stressing this, the biggest problem I have had over the past 4 years are my emotions,  and that is what has failed. Forex did not fail me, my emotions failed me, my ability to trade emotionless. You cannot trade with emotions. You can have the best system in the world, but if you do not apply the rules of the system, and you allow your emotions to make your trading decisions, you will fail, and that is a guarantee. They say that there is only one guarantee in life, and that is you are going to die at some stage, well I have to disagree, there are two guarantees, the one is yes, you are going to die one day, and the second is you will fail in forex trading if you allow your emotions to trade.

Most systems and strategies out there do work, believe it or not. But one must 1)give the system a chance and 2)apply the rules of the system. If you find that after 60 or 90 days the system does not produce realistic results, or it does not suit your trading styles, then it will be fair to try a different strategy. Also during this period to apply the rules, and not let your emotions take over and bend the rules.

It has taken me 4 years to realise this. Given my current financial situation, I will have to go and find a job again to make ends meet, but at the same time, apply a suitable trading strategy that I can trade after working hours. I am determined that I will succeed in forex trading, and that my current situation is temporary.
