If you want to learn currency trading in order to develop a profitable Forex strategy, then you need to make sure you focus your attention on managing your money. Irrespective of how good a trading system may be, unless you're willing to learn currency trading so that you are able to manage your funds effectively, the trading system will be a failure.
Of course, for many people this would sound like a very basic fundamental skill. However, I can assure you that this is not something which comes naturally to everyone. In fact, many people find it downright difficult. In most cases, if you're the type of person who is capable of handling your finances responsibly, in that you never live beyond your means, and you always know exactly how much money you have in your checking account, then you'll already have a huge advantage when you start trading.
Also, if you really want to make big money then you should be focusing on avoiding losses, rather than focusing on making money. You can be rest assured, that if you do this, and you concentrate on steering clear of losses, you'll almost certainly end up making money. Having said that; you also need to bear in mind that a certain amount of small losses is virtually inevitable, and as such, you shouldn't become overly concerned with them. Rather, you should make sure that you have a trading plan in place which helps to protect you from the risk of substantial losses.
Yes, systems which are based on making several small wins in relation to the occasion big loss can indeed be profitable. However, this is certainly not a strategy I would recommend, especially not for those who are just starting out with Forex trading.
