Many would-be traders make the mistake that forex trading is easy. After all, it can go up or down and you only have to be on the right side, right?

Unfortunately it is not that easy. In principal it is true but the problem is, you, or your psyche, gets in the way of this process. and that is where it goes wrong in many cases. So, how can you correct something that you don't know you are doing? Answer: with great difficulty!

Would you go to a seminar instead of a doctor if you were ill? No! Would you start to play golf without having some lessons from a professional? No! Would you buy a house without using a lawyer or a surveyor? Very unlikely. So why would you commit your precious capital to a venture such as forex trading without getting some guidance?

Therefore, it would seem reasonable that you would engage an expert to guide you on your way.

From my client contact conversations, I get questions about myself and my motives:

Are you qualified to help? In the absence of a qualification called Authorized Forex Trader Mentor' (which I would love to see happen), I believe that my long experience as both active participant and trainer qualifies me admirably.

Who are you? It is difficult to trust someone you have not met before. I hope that I have been open with this web site to show you who I am. I hope that my peer group endorsements help convince you. I am not a seller of quick-fix remedies. Clients must be prepared to work, if they want to get anywhere with forex trading.

What is the strategy and process? The process is first and foremost to ensure that your motivation to become a forex trader is valid; that you goals are do-able. The next stage is to change your attitude to trading and assume a winning attitude. Then we develop a plan. Your plan. How you are going to reach the goals. Then we examine the forex market, because you cannot trade a market you don't understand. I will introduce a system of trading that has been shown to produce consistent results and money management techniques to ensure that you understand probability and risk/return. By using a specially-developed spreadsheet tool, you will monitor your trades and I will examine the results with you and guide you on your way.

That sounds long and expensive. Is it? Some have traded and failed; some have traded and know they should be doing better; some have had 'beginner's luck' and don't know why they have had success; others are scared to trade with others still should not trade on their own account at all! We might find out the latter after one hour. Let me put it this way, though: If you seriously want to do this, it is worth the investment to do it properly in a structured way. 'Learning money' is one of the most stupid experiences one can have, What do you learn? How to be scared in the future, probably. So, expensive is a relative term. You may need a few hours, you may need more. What is clear is that investing in mentoring should give a better return on investment that any other form of course, seminar, book or just 'trying the market', because it a tailored to your personal needs.

What will it cost? Depending on your current knowledge and experience, between $500 and $1,500. For this, you get personal one-on-one Internet/phone tuition on what you have to know (no less, no more), a copy of the money management and win/loss probability tools and the option of receiving on-going mentoring, should you require it.

What will I get out of this? The least you will get out of it is whether or not you should be trading forex on your own account. From there, you will get a system that will be the basis for successful forex trading. However, nothing is guaranteed. Logic must tell you, that if you acquire knowledge and at the same time have someone who is going to make sure that you apply the self-discipline and not fall into the traps that up to 90% of would-be forex traders fall into, you will get something out of this.
