The Idiot's Guide To Safe Trading

-- by Stubby Candles
 

Did you ever meet someone who always seems to have else to blame for their misfortune? The truth is that some folks couldn't make money if you handed them a copy of tomorrow's Wall Street Journal. So here, straight from The Department Of Hard Knocks, we “tell it like it is ...".

Those Who Definitely Should Not Trade Forex

IF you think trading Forex means your computer monitor will grow a slot machine handle on the side and you'll "get lucky" every so often, you should not be here. You should be in Las Vegas.

IF you think trading Forex will be the ultimate investment thrill, you should not be here. You should be bungee jumping. Don't forget your bungee.

IF you are a genius who has always succeeded at everything you've ever done and cannot accept failure, you should not be here. You should be in therapy.

IF you’ve never sat at a poker table because you think gambling is (fill in the blank _____________ wrong, dangerous, immoral, unethical, whatever) you should not be here. You should be in church.

IF you think the ultimate in security is a good, safe job you definitely should not be here. You should be at the Post Office dispensing stamps.

IF you can't understand why we're picking on you, you definitely should not be here!

Those Who Probably Should Not Trade Forex

IF you routinely find yourself saying "He made me do it!," you probably shouldn't be here. You should be in the Oval Office.

IF you have played poker, but were never able to spot who the sucker was sitting at the table, it was probably you and you shouldn't be here.

IF you are a sufficiently talented fool that you can always find a loophole in a fool-proof system, you probably shouldn’t be here. You should be a lawyer.

IF you are such a tightwad that you can drive by an ice cream stand and ignore your children’s pleas from the back seat, you probably shouldn't be here (and you definitely shouldn't have any more children).

IF you think life isn't fair, you probably shouldn't be here. You should be in the Army where life isn’t fair.

Those Who Are Probably OK Trading Forex

IF you think the above is ironic or funny and you've met people like that, you’re probably OK being here.

IF as a child you had a paper route, cut grass, shoveled snow, babysat for spending money or worked behind the counter in your parents’ business, you’re probably OK being here.

IF you have just spent the summer selling Frostee Ice Cream to replenish your trading account (and not for the first time), you’re probably OK being here.

IF you're the type of person folks would invite to Disneyland, you’re probably OK being here.

Everyone else ... go away right now!

We wrote this to show you that there are risks in trading the Forex market. Unless you work for the Psychic Hotline you should know that past results can in no way predict future results.

The Institute of Higher Earning will help you minimize risks so that you may trade your plan successfully... and live to trade another day.
