Where money is involved so are emotions. Most people are quite skilled in trading but they can’t cope with their emotions.  Emotions of a person are usually the biggest obstacle to achieving success in trading. In order to become a successful trader one cannot trade emotionally. One must trade logically. Our egos make us want to be successful 100% of the cases, but the truth is that nobody is successful 100% of the time. Not even the professionals.

• Achieving success by professional traders involves understanding that the market is about logic, not emotions.

When one trades logically, not emotionally he or she is likely to be one of the 10% who trade successfully all the time!

Each and every form of trading and investment can be regarded as a form of gambling, though neither are identical to playing the lottery, roulette or betting. Traders look for price fluctuations and investors want return on investment. In both cases a calculated risk that is minimized by knowledge is required. You are always gambling when you are trading emotionally or with a hot tip.

The FOREX market is quite similar. When you trade without knowledge of what you are doing, or off a tip, you are gambling. When you trade after you getting proper education or help from a successful program, or from other successful traders, you are simply taking a calculated risk.
