1. Someone else can give you success

It amuses me the amount of information I get from forex vendors that promise me huge riches and a regular income, for spending a few hundred dollars with them.

My own view is if their profits are so good why are they hassling me?

The answer of course is, that their courses and e-books are junk and they are hoping to dupe me with tempting advertising copy.

Don’t fall for their copy be realistic, the only person who will make you money is yourself, so learn forex trading yourself.

2. Day trading makes money

The biggest myth of all is perhaps that you can make money with a day trading system – you can’t.

All daily volatility is random and you stand no chance of winning, as you can never calculate the odds and forex trading is an odds game.

You can learn all you need to know in about 14 days and you should be able to trade in less than an hour a day.
