Earn While You Learn Forex

In almost every field, the phrase “earn while you learn” sounds very appealing. Most people at some point have heard this phrase before. It’s appealing because if one is still in the “learning” phase, then in most cases, they are not quite in the “earning” phase yet. So throwing an earn while you learn title on a piece of marketing material sounds like a great win:win scenario for the average person, as getting paid simultaneously while learning something new is rare in this universe. Especially when talking about the financial markets.
However if you are thinking about trading the financial markets, then get ready to jump on a continuous learning curve in which there is ALWAYS something to learn about the markets, more importantly yourself and trading strategy(s). Most endeavors people take o
n require an ongoing learning curve, some more prolonged and extreme, depending on the difficulty of it. Trading the financial markets is proven to be one of the most difficult endeavors known on this planet. Most already know that the failure rate for most retail speculators is above 90%. Know that I’m being generous with that number, its higher due mostly to the fact that, as human beings we are “generally” genetically emotional, herd like, safety seeking, risk adverse, egotistical, habitual creatures. Literally born with counter intuitive traits for what it takes to be successful speculating financial markets. So how can one learn to be successful in such a field? How long will it take to “learn” it all? How much money to invest in this continuous learning endeavor with no guarantees of becoming consistent? Do I have what it takes? Etc etc etc plenty more unanswered questions I’m sure. I don’t have a “direct” one answer fits all. Literally every person is different, with experiences, capital, emotional tendencies, possible gambling issues, characteristic traits/habits, disciplines and backgrounds. I’ve spent years, money, blown accounts and border line stalking of anybody who I thought was a successful trader to learn and answer all these questions myself.
The only way I learned, and believe to learn this field, is to follow someone who is already a time tested successful trader. Strategy aside/given - Hear what that trader is saying, doing, speaking. Read between the lines, learn how one “thinks”, when to be patient, when to attack. When to add risk, reduce risk. Getting away from the speculative retail trader emotional mindset, and learn how to treat trading as a business of analyzed risk to reward with probability analysis. Think like a bank, firm, pro trader, not an emotional undisciplined earth creature behind a screen looking at charts and prices.
The “trading journey”, as they say, is a long and often bumpy one. Whether you are new to trading, intermediate (1-3 years) or have some decent trading experience under your belt. Tailored keeps the trading instruments to a minimum (3) at the moment for the main purpose of being able to provide focused edge identification for 1 strategy, scanning patiently for quality trading set-ups to put probability in our favor as much as possible for potentially rewarding trades within strategy for members to take at their own risk.
The Tailored Trader team understands the financial markets are enormous, vast amount of liquidity, and realizes there are many different ways and strategies that make/lose money. We take our strategy SERIOUS, but not PERSONAL. We treat it, in our opinion, as it should - A business where buyers and sellers meet to conduct – providing Liquidity and opportunity’s to capitalize on. We don’t claim to have the best analysis or strategy of the markets.
We offer this trade room to show proper execution of one of our daytrading strategies to get you on the right side of the now market hopefully with probability on our side to “pay you” for your time invested into the Forex market- at least during the room hours. While you continue to learn about the markets, yourself and/or strategy(s).
So if you adopt the Tailored daytrading strategy as your own and trade it – great! If you are working on your own strategy- of course that is fine as well. The main focus is to have you potentially “earn while you learn” in the continuous learning curve of becoming a consistent trader. For beginners this is a good place to start, follow a trader who has been in the business for years and already made, overcame and outgrew the trading pitfalls and blown accounts. Learn how to keep things simple and execute a strategy on 3 of the words most traded currencies. Intermediate traders who are now coming to the realization that making money from trading isn’t as easy as one may have thought. Possibly trying to find another simple footing and “re-go” at trading the markets. Trading is essentially easy. The markets go up, the markets go down, we can buy and sell basically anytime with internet, device and broker. But there is a huge gap to this statement as the reality is that most fail at trading the markets. We can help close that “gap”. Experienced traders which could come in many different forms of… years, money gained/loss, strategy development, or many other stories of the good and bad. Could be a place to jump on board some EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY intra-day trades - if willing to accept risks to grab some pips to possibly add (or subtract) from his/her weekly gain/loss.
Note: Community oriented- All experience levels of trading are respected. Between the hours of 6:00a.m-12:00p.m est (NYC time) Tailored Trader moderators have a business to run and job to do.
