Online Trading Education - You Will Probably Fail!

By John Templeton

If you are looking for an online trading education, here is something you might like to know. You will probably fail at trading.

Don' be upset when reading this. I don't mean to crude or put down your dreams of being a successful trader. I am just stating the facts.

The fact is 95% of traders will lose money in any given year. That statistic puts it all in perspective, doesn't it?

So what is it, that the 5% do that the other 95% don't do? Are they just a lot smarter? So they know some secret code or the ever infamous holy grail that people like to talk about?

Well, as one of the 5%, the answers to those questions are a resounding no. No, the 5% aren't any smarter than the 95%. As a matter of fact, you' be stunned to know how many dumbbells there are in this world making money, trading. So intelligence really isn't a requirement.

As far as the second question is concerned, there is no real holy grail. There is no secret (at least none that I am aware of).

It's just that you'll find that the majority of the successful traders can make money just by using a simple bar chart. They don't need all the fancy bells and whistles that most people are spending a fortune.

That's because they understand the power of price action. With price action, you don't need a thousand dollar piece of software or some "magic bullet" indicator.

They know that it's not the equipment, it's the trader.

When I finally learned that, it was the best education on trading that I ever had.


John Templeton has been a successful forex trader after learning how to trade price action. Once he understood that all he needed to trade forex was on a plain chart with no indicators, his profits soared. He know has an online trading education course called Trading In The Buff.
