We have all heard of the get rich quick advertisements or the stories about people that made millions in a short
period of time trading the foreign currency market. Taking this information seriously will cause you heart burn
when it does not happen to you.
Everyone has to learn how to trade and it does not happen overnight. Part of learning is setting your goals and
expectations in line with reality. Even though the market can sometimes make a much bigger move than you
anticipate, being realistic means that you cannot expect to put $250 in your trading account and think you
will double it on each trade.
By using the trade “Trade Tracker” found in launch Pad you can get a feel of your win-loss ration and grow from
there. You will also uncover your strengths and weaknesses. Once you have a starting point or a point of
reference you can gauge your success from there. It will be slow in the beginning but can increase as you gain
experience and skills. Don’t get caught up in the hype and forget to build a good trading foundation.
