20 years ago, the concept of making money online, was not yet born. In fact, the World Wide Web was just a baby in diapers.  And just 10 after that, making money online, became a reality. Today, you don't have to live in Texas to be a forex magnate: dealing with oil, or any other financial assets for the case, is right at your desktop, one click away.

Teleworking, digging the web for virtual currencies, trading stocks, playing poker, filling surveys, or even filming yourself doing silly stuff and uploading on the web can make you hips of money. There plenty of ways to make money these days. Dealing in the foreign exchange market and speculating with currencies´ values  is just one way to do it. True, there are lot of sales pitches trying to get you to sign up for some webinar, training session or some other way to become an online millionaire. Also, and despite regulations have increased, there are still many scams going on out there, although they are far less than a decade ago.

Trading the FX market, is far from being the easiest way to make money, but in ForexSQ we would help you to achieve your goal safely. Even before going one step further, there's a huge difference between those who get into forex to invest, and those who are just betting their savings in an adrenalinic game. But is possible, to make money out of speculating with currencies, if you are willing to work hard for your goals, and stick to a couple of rules.

First part, is the hard one: learn! How are you supposed to do something right, if you don't know what you´re are doing? Why are you buying the EUR, or for the matter, selling it? just because? just because you are seeing some fancy colored charts showing that it has been moving in a certain direction for some minutes, hours, days? Really? Who you trust a doctor that does things "just because"?

Secondly, have a plan! If you don't have a plan, you are in someone else's plans, and when that other is the forex market, you should be really worried. The market has no brains, but loads of sentiments; the market can act just because. You can't, if you want to make money out of it. A plan means knowing why a currency is strong/weak; a plan is knowing where you could buy/sell, where you will take out your profits, and what is the point that the market proves you wrong - that's your stop loss- .

Next, be coherent: you won't become millionaire out of  a $500 account. The most likely outcome of such adventure will be that you will go broke in less than a month. Trade accordingly to your capital, be measured, don't establish unreachable goals. If you can make just 10 pips out of the market per day, you will see your capital slowly rising, which means you can raise your leverage, and before you know it, you will be making good money out of the market, just with 10 pips.

Finally, find a reliable partner. Would you like working with a scammer? A criminal? No? Then, take your time to choose your broker. Check for it to be regulated, for it to compile with international rules, for reviews. Your broker is your partner, whether you like it or not. The election cannot be taken lightly, or based in doubtful offers. You need a broker with a solid structure to cover your back, in the way only a controlling partner can do it.

 

Risk Disclosure Analyzing your financial situation, you should decide whether you should start Forex trading or not. Rates of currencies can go down or rise higher any day, any hour, any minute so you should risk only that much which you can afford to loose.
