The Best Forex Trading Advice I Ever Received
How You Can *Accidentally* Become a Great and Profitable Trader
When I was just a teenager in high school, I convinced my parents to buy me a new computer and I spent lots of time surfing the internet and learning about all kinds of new things ranging from quantum mechanics to to chaos theory to algorithmic autotrading systems. In fact I probably learned more from the internet than I ever did in college, especially when it comes to making money.
After spending so much time online I decided to look for ways to make money using my computer, and I happened upon something I had never heard of called online currency trading. After reading about it for a little while I become very excited, and for my 16th birthday I asked for a $2,000 professional forex trading course instead of the normal presents a teenage kid would ask for.
This forex course taught me much of what I know today and taught me about the incredible wealth creation potential of autotrading, and I am happy to say that I have been able to achieve financial independence at a very young age due to everything I have learned about forex.
The professional course that I got was by a company called Market Traders Institute and it came with 16 different home study manuals that each discussed a different vital aspect of currency trading. Only recently have I realized just how truly valuable this information has been, and my parents unknowingly purchased a $2,000 investment that would yeild hundreds of thousands in trading profits in just a few years time.
The Best Forex Trading And Wealth Creation Advice In The World
In each of the 16 study manuals that I received, on the first page of each one there was an amazing quote that was in big letters. At first I just shrugged it off and just said 'Oh yeah, woo hoo some more self-help crap' and did not pay much attention to it. Only after revisting this material years later did I realize that all of my success has been due to reading this quote, and I had integrated it into my life without even realizing it.
Here is the quote for you to enjoy in its fullness:
I am your constant companion,
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am at your command.
Half of the tasks that you do you just might as well
turn over to me and I will do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed. You must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done.
After a few lessons, I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great people
and the regret of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine but I will work with all its precision
plus the intelligence of a person.
Now you may run me for profit or run me for ruin.
It makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and
I will lay the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
I am called Habit!

Habit. The most powerful wealth creation advice I have ever found. I had *accidentally* made it a habit to be a good trader, and I became very successful because of it. Thank you Jared Martinez at Market Trader's Institute!
Taking It A Step Beyond Active Trading
Sure it is a great thing to be able to read charts and make money in any market conditions, but this can also be very time consuming. The way in which you can take this principle a step further is by integrating good habits not into active chart reading, but into checking your Expert Advisor autotrading systems every day to make sure that they are running smoothly.
Instead of actively trading, you can make it a habit to simply put in place a number of autotrading accounts that are running profitable expert advisors, and from there it will take less than an hour per day to monitor your accounts and make sure there are no problems.
