After reading his posts for a while, I finally asked him to write a post that would help our thousands of readers!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>================================================================<\/p>\n<p><span>I was asked to offer something educational as a guest blogger and I was trying to think of what could I write about, to have the greatest impact. How can I get through to the readers what it is like to trade for a living? How can I explain what the one, most important ingredient in trading is? What is the one common thing that all traders need to do well, to get solid results overall. And how do I help them understand it? And then how can I teach them to do it? Then I thought: Man that is no small task. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If anyone could do that well on a consistent basis people would be knocking down their door. Let\u2019s face it, trading for a living isn\u2019t all that easy. Well, let me rephrase that statement. The average person can learn to trade. That is, most of us with a little effort and time, can learn all the basic concepts of trading and develop a reasonable system to apply to trading. So how come more people aren\u2019t successful? More importantly: how come you\u2019re not?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Simple; Learning to trade and \u2018Executing Trades\u2019 are two very different things. Learning the techniques is not what is difficult. Learning the ability to execute well, is!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>You see, what separate the few good traders from the many mediocre ones is the real commitment of doing what it takes to be successful as a trader. I said earlier in the article that I wanted to try to explain the one thing that would be common to everyone who trades. Well that one thing is: <strong><span>You<\/span><\/strong>. Each one of us is what makes the difference in our trading. Not the next system, not a better market, but simply our own ability to find the discipline of executing our system well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When I got this about my trading, my first reaction was that all I needed to do was be consistent as to when I trade and how I trade. Boy was that ever easier said that done. I had to really force myself to set the proper priorities of what to do, how to do it and when to do it. Frankly, it is still the greatest thing I am challenged with everyday. You see it takes time and repetition to reinforce good habits and shed old ones. And some of our old habits may never disappear entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So I say, stop looking for the next system that you believe will beat the market and work with a simple system you can easily apply, and then; apply it well and consistently. That\u2019s when you will see your trading improve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pierre Charlebois<\/span><\/p>\n<p>================================================================<\/p>\n<p>Please be sure and check out Pierre and what the team at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tradingpostfinancial.com\/blog\/categories\/fxweeklyreport\">Trading Post Financial<\/a> has to offer!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing with our guest blog posts for the week, I would like to introduce Pierre Charlebois from Tradingpostfinancial.com.
