For people that are struggling and trying to lean how to trade forex, they go on the lookout for the best forex strategies. However, a key problem with this is that most of the strategies that are available in the marketplace are horrendous.

Most of the systems just rely on a bunch of indicators to let the trader know when to place a trade.

You have to remember that these are lagging indicators. They are great tools if you want to see what has already happened to the price. But to be able to forecast the future price of a currency, these indicators aren't going to do much for you.

If you sit down and think about it, if all these indicators make it so easy to trade forex, why is it that so many people fail horribly. Actually 95% of forex traders end up losting money.

I'm sure most of you are probably thinking why is that the case? If these indicators make things so mechanical, then how come it's so hard.

The real trouble with these lagging indicators is that you don't get any insight in to the market. It's really tricky to trade forex, if you don't have the first clue at what you're looking at. Trading like a robot will never lead to success in this complex forex market, which so many people struggle with.

To have the full appreciation of how and market prices move the way they do, then all you need is two words: price action. It all starts with getting rid of the indicators that are currently on your charts.

This is the only way you'll be able to appreciate the intricacies of forex trading. Once you do this you'll be able to see how market prices can repeat themselves. There are price patterns that are repeated all the time. You just have to know what you are looking at.

Take some time one day, and just follow a chart with no indicators. Don't worry too much if you don't see the price patterns quickly, eventually you will.
