Is trading for everybody? Let’s talk about that really important topic and more right now.

Is trading for everybody?

Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 567.

Now, I’ve had a few interesting chats this week and I want to bring this to your attention and really want to say, look, is trading for everybody. the answer is absolutely not. And as a result of what I’ve experienced this week, I want to explain why I’m saying it’s not for everybody.

I received a call a few days ago from someone who lives here in New Zealand. He’s not a New Zealander. Believe he’s living here right now. And I had some doubts when I heard the conversation, and I ended up saying, look, I don’t think you should do this. I don’t think trading is for you.

And certainly we’re not a good match. he was, you know, it was all a little bit desperate, needing the money, potentially saying there was health issues. whether there was or not, I don’t know, but, you know, it was quite a sob story, and I’ve only got $300, and I heard it all, and I go, you know, I’ve heard this so many times over 20 years of trading and teaching.

This is not for you. You know, you’re not in a position mentally, potentially physically, financially to do this. And if you jump on board, it’s going to end badly because people like that, desperate for money, they’re not willing to put the time in.

Some people are just lazy.

You know, people can be very lazy, you know, so they just want a copy. In fact, I did say to him, look, you should probably just go and buy yourself a monthly subscription to a signal service, because I don’t think that you’re the type of person that’s going to be putting in the time, the effort, the commitment, to learn and now, important to note that just because you may not have, money today, that doesn’t matter.

The thing that we’re doing is we’re, teaching people how to trade properly, but you still need to put that time commitment effort into wanting to learn how to do it. If you can trade. You can trade on demo. You can trade on small live accounts. You can go through the prop firms, you know, there’s so many different ways to be successful without needing the funds to date.

Now, sure, if you come on board with us, you need some funds to invest in the coaching. You know, we’re not at the giving, our time, our knowledge, our expertise. you know, just for peanuts. You know, we’re posting trades every day without fail. We’ve done this since 2010. We’re on webinars, forums, all those type of things and a proven strategy.

So, yes, there has to be, you know, an upfront fee to do that. You know, we are not a charity. Let’s be let’s be clear about this. But when we have good successful traders, you will make your investment batches countless times over. And yeah, that knowledge, for the rest of your life. But coming back to this individual person just wasn’t going to be him, you know, it wasn’t going to work. And so the question comes, should everybody trade? Absolutely not.

You need to be willing to work at trading.  

You know, you’ve got to still put the time, the effort, the commitment, the willing to have ups and downs in the market. You know, if you come on board and you go, oh look I’m not making money after one month. Well that’s because you’re learning. You know, you’ve got to give yourself time.

You can’t go and go. I want to be a tennis player. I’m going to do lessons for a month. And then I think I’m going to be the world’s number one. You know? It’s just not real. So give yourself some time, some realistic expectations to learn up front.

Trading and Painting.

And just, this week, I was at a business meeting and I said, look, the best thing I can do as an advice to give someone who wants to look at trading is think of yourself as like a painter or decorator.

Everybody sees the finished result. They see the painted wall, the, you know, the wallpaper, the the whatever. It is the, you know, the the beautiful finish. They don’t see the preparation that goes into it behind the scenes, the sanding, the, you know, the filling up the cracks and holes and, you know, doing all the prep work underneath the boring bit, underneath that makes the finished result look good.

And trading is exactly the same. You have to put that time and effort and commitment and not. On a more positive note, if you all one of those people would love to talk.

Blueberry Markets as a Forex Broker.

And if you’re out there looking for a very high quality broker, I can highly recommend Blueberry Markets. There. MT5 platform is, fantastic. I’ve taken trades just yesterday on the USD/MXN and and the, CHF/PLN and Ethereum. You know, some quite a more unusual.

You know, if we were talking five years ago, those, pairs wouldn’t have been available. But because of mt5 and the ability to have more pairs, more markets, they are and and so we’re taking trades based on the strategy, on the pattern, not so much what the market is. And they’re working. So have a look at blueberry markets if you want a good quality broker as well I’ll put a link to them here.

That’s it for now. just remember if you’d like to learn how to trade. We’ve been doing this for a long time, but you need to be the right type of person that wants to do it. And if you are, let’s talk.

This is Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach. I see you this time next week. Bye for now.
