Forex Trading Myths: Which is Real, Which is Not?

Now that the global economy is being drained by current financial crisis, more and more people are turning to forex trading because they have a notion that profit is abundant in this market during these troubled times.

Forex gurus say that this is actually true. Good opportunities are indeed available with the faltering economy. However, there are some misconceptions about forex trading that can lead to disastrous results.

Here are some forex trading myths that will always be tagged as a myth:

Profit naturally comes when you trade forex.

Why is it a myth? You have to earn your own profit in forex trading. It takes a lot of time, hard work and keen observation of economic developments so that strategies can be planned and executed correctly.

A forex trader needs to be "on" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Why is it a myth? Forex traders can trade successfully in as little as two hours a day. Keeping to a consistent strategy means that traders can establish and liquidate their positions efficiently.

To trade forex, you must pay attention to each economic indicator.

Why is it a myth? Says one forex trader, inflation is the key factor in all successful forex strategies. Once you track inflation indicators, then you would be able to plan your strategy. Since inflation affects interest rates therefore interest rates will affect currency positions.

So what other myths are out there in forex trading? Here are some websites that point out fact from a bunch of misconceptions.
