Since the advent of the Internet, online forex trading became increasingly popular. This is due in part to its popularity. The hype and untruths that come with such popularity are inevitable. Although many of the myths that are spread about Forex can cause confusion, they also have the potential to be very costly for currency traders who are just starting out. Below is a summary of the common Forex myths, go here?
Forex trade is simple. Firstly, let’s face it. Forex trading has never been easier. It’s also simple to purchase and sell currency online. However, making money and succeeding in the Forex market is no easy task. To succeed, you need to invest in education and spend time practicing. It is true that there are gifted traders who pick things up quickly. However, for the most part, new traders should devote some of their time towards educating, training and developing strategies.
Forex and other forms of trading are gambling. That is an old myth that is repeated about stocks, bond, futures, option, etc. Forex is the essence of macroeconomics, more than any other form of market trading. Forex concerns itself with the overall performance, structure, behavior and interrelationships of the national or regional economy. If that were the case, all of the nation’s economic administrators, advisors or consultants, as well the students themselves, would be world-class gamblers. We all study economics as well as technical and fundamental analyses.
Forex scams are common. Forex was criticized when High Yielding Investment Programs, or HYIPs, began claiming to be able to generate income through Forex. Recent events have seen a New York company shut down, and an online trading site of another dismantled after it was found to be bilking its investors. For bringing discredit on a legit, regulated, and law-abiding industry there have been prison terms. Forex isn’t a fake market. Anyone can participate and take responsibility for their trading. Forex traders need only worry about brokers and marketers selling Forex books or trading systems. They should also be wary of scams where they promise guaranteed profits, guarantee strategies, trading system, etc.
