First, the average newb is likely to make some mistakes. This can be lethal to a system. So the very first thing to do if you have been trying a system in demo, say, and it’s not working, is to study all the material again and see if there are some things that you have missed. It might be that you misinterpreted something or did not take something into account. Many times this could turn up something that will have an impact on your results. Second, different folk have different trading styles. Allegedly 2 people operating the same system with the same starting investment using the same broker should have the same results, but if you set up 2 traders in this situation they would probably still do things in alternative ways.
Are you acting quick enough when you get a signal, or are you easily distracted so that the price moves before you place your trade? Or is it not your fault? Are you seeing too much slippage? Perhaps you need to consider changing your broker.
And even if you’re employing a robot, you may think that everybody using it’ll have the same result, but that isn’t correct. So do not lose hope. Sure it will probably help if you’re a cool headed sort of person who can handle a specific quantity of stress and maybe even works better under strain. It will also help if you’re not freaked out by the idea of basic math. You most likely are the right kind of person or you would not even have an interest in trying to make money with currency trading.
