Let me cut to the chase. If you’re newer to Forex trading or have been trading the currency market, but aren’t seeing month-to-month increases, don’t day trade. For most people, including you, the more trades you do, the higher the probability of loss.
Many amateur traders think they need to make lots of trades to profit. Hey, we’ve all done it. Actually, I think it’s the way we all start off. Got to be in the action, right? Unfortunately, this is a path to ruin.
Forex is a decentralized market that’s open 24 hours a day, 5 days per week all around the world. Despite this, it’s not all roses. Action in the market goes in shifts. It’s not always the same. But, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start out by going over the 4 market in the currency trading world.
While there can be a lot of perceived randomness in the currency market, there’s one thing that’s a constant—new Forex traders lose money and most of them fail. It’s just a fact. Regardless of your background (degrees, experience in other markets, etc), you’ve got a high likelihood of failure. I’ve identified three reasons why this is and I want to share them with you, so you can have a higher chance of success.
Forex is the best business I know of today. With economies having trouble, people losing jobs, businesses failing and people having to work more for the same money they used to make, the currency market gives you the golden opportunity of a lifetime. Let me break it down for you.

My name is Jason A. Martin and this is my investment blog. Back in Jr. High School I fell in love with an electrical wiring company's stock on Wall Street. After following the stock daily in the papers—the Internet wasn't around back then—I sent them a letter and they sent me back all sorts of wonderful information about their company.
In High School, we had a stock market contest. All the kids were picking companies that made stuff they consumed. When I announced my beloved company, I was laughed at. Little did they know that my company was going to be the subject of a takeover soon.
Long story short, I won the contest and have made money in the stock market, through real estate investing, currency trading and so forth.
I hope you enjoy Financial Rebel. If you do, please leave your comments and share this site with those you know.
