Why is It So Difficult to Find Good Foreign Exchange Trading Systems?

Beginners often ask why it’s so hard to find good currency trading systems. You have to be comfortable with figures. You have to be cool headed and, in a certain way, cynical; while you don’t have to deal with other people too much, you do have to face your own fears. You need to be able to take risks without being a gambler who will stake all for a win. There are a massive number of foreign exchange trading systems available and all that you need is one that works, so it should not be too difficult. Right?

Actually the idea of a forex system that ‘works’ is deceiving. Trading systems don’t work all by themselves, unless they are automated, and even then you have to set them up in the best way in order to maximise the likely profits without subjecting yourself to too much risk.
