Currency Trading Tips: 3 Easy Tips on how to Be a Full-time Trader

In this article I want to discuss 3 currency trading tips that will help anyone who wants to trade the foreign exchange market for a living. It is not easy to make the transition from your part-time or sporadic Forex trader to a full time Fx trader.
Your lifestyle will change in many ways and the transition is as essential as the way you will trade the markets. In this particular occasion I will be teaching how I made the transition from working in a 9-5 job to trading the markets for a living.


Define when you will trade the Forex: One of the biggest freedoms you could possibly enjoy being an FX trader is the option to choose where and when you want to trade. The very first thing you want to define is which market sessions you wish to trade and at what times. Regardless that, you create your schedule you need to use a plan to carry yourself as a full-time trader.
Obtain the equipment and tools you will require: In my case I wanted new monitors and a new computer. I also wanted to register with a broker that will enable me to control several trading accounts from one single master account. Moreover, you need to consider that trading FX is now your career and to succeed and not “get fired” you must take it seriously and be professional.
Prepare yourself to get a lot of questions: As soon as your friends and family observe that you happen to be always home, taking trips, or taking vacations to the beach on a Wednesday morning they're going to start to wonder and ask you what you do for a living. Almost any person I meet gets curious and asks me what I do. It is sometimes difficult to explain that I am a Forex trader nevertheless it allows me to meet a great deal of interesting people.

Organize your finances and sync all of them with your trading: This one was very challenging in the beginning. As you probably are aware of the money you earn with trading is not consistent every month. This was a really big challenge, because my bills were very consistent. After creating a review of all of my expenses and my expected profits from trading I was in a position to organize my finances and make it work for me.

Don’t stop learning because you took your trading to another level: The most effective traders throughout the world never stop to learn. They are hungry for knowledge and new trading techniques. If you walk into my office you will find tons of courses, trading books, trading manuals, programming manuals, programming books, and several other educational resources. Knowledge is power and the only way to make more money and become a better trader is by studying new ways to trade the markets.
