Forex Trading Account Management: What To Do With All of That Profit? - YouTube

Channel: Trading Mastermind

[14]
hi this is Scott Shubert and a lot of people have been asking me about this
[18]
super exciting topic of discussion that has become the buzz among a number of
[23]
traders who are now doing very well with their trading and that is what to do
[28]
with your profits from your forex trading account of course you want to
[32]
experience that point where you're seeing consistent long term positive
[37]
results in your trading business and you want to be able to at some point trade
[43]
full time and a lot of people want to be able to reach that point where they're
[48]
trading consistently and earning a living from their trading business as
[52]
well as continuing to increase their capital to help fund their other
[56]
interests in life and use a portion of the profits for other investments I've
[60]
noticed that most people who are interested in forex trading are
[63]
working-class people or working professionals that is most people who
[67]
are trading Forex already have another job or business or are working as some
[72]
kind of a professional as a doctor or CPA or psychiatrist or or computer
[77]
engineer and people who are interested in forex trading come from all kinds of
[81]
backgrounds there some I've met our work at home mom's or truck drivers or
[86]
college students but the point is the thing that makes forex trading so
[89]
desirable is the potential to rapidly build or increase capital and of course
[97]
for most people it has the potential to rapidly lose capital so that's the flip
[103]
side of this business it's considered extremely challenging it's considered to
[108]
be somewhat difficult and very rare for a person to be able to achieve this but
[114]
the people who are interested in forex trading are interested in building their
[119]
business and developing their skill to the point where they're trading business
[123]
can replace their current job or other business and then once you've reached
[128]
that point where do you go from there well if you intend to earn a living from
[132]
your or X trading business here are some
[134]
guidelines step 1 this is very crucial and a lot of people overlook this step
[140]
and that is learn to trade so a lot of people start off planning to make a
[146]
living from trading and they don't know how to trade and that's somewhat unwise
[150]
approach to starting this business so the first step is very critical and how
[156]
long will it take you to do this how much time how much work will it take you
[160]
to master this business if you have a realistic and positive attitude toward
[165]
this business then you'll be willing to do whatever it takes
[170]
go through however much time it will take and however much practice and study
[175]
it will take for you to be able to learn to trade with consistent profit again I
[181]
always emphasize that forex trading is not some kind of a trick that you learn
[186]
from an e-book or learn in one weekend it's a skill that must be mastered over
[192]
a period of time with diligent practice and study so how much money do you need
[198]
to earn a living and cover all your living expenses it's a good idea to be
[204]
clear about how much you need to get to that point first how long will it take
[209]
to make sure that you know how to trade well most people do start off with very
[214]
optimistic expectations and then over time when they see that this business
[219]
requires study and practice and developing a skill many people will just
[226]
give up after a short period of time and if you already have a realistic
[231]
expectation that you're going to make this work and that it might take even a
[236]
few years for you to do it then you won't get bogged down along the way and
[240]
give up after a short period of time the way so many people do you don't know how
[244]
long it will take you to really develop your skill and master this business so
[249]
just have realistic expectations and be prepared to keep on working no matter
[254]
how much time it takes you to get to that point here's another good idea have
[259]
another source of income for as long as necessary until you're able to
[263]
demonstrate long-term consistent results in trading
[266]
if you quit your job and start trading you are very likely to be dooming
[272]
yourself to total failure and it's likely to cause yourself a lot of
[278]
frustration and misery and it's a very unwise thing to do and people don't
[283]
start their first year in law school and quit their job and expect to start
[288]
making a living as an attorney when they haven't graduated yet but for some
[292]
reason when it comes to forex trading people do some very unwise things so
[298]
just keep in mind that if you really intend to make this business work for
[303]
you approach it just like you would going to law school or medical school or
[308]
going to a computer software engineering school or any other school that takes
[314]
time for you to learn something people who go to college they have a plan for
[319]
how they're going to make a living and while they're going to college how many
[322]
live accounts not to mention demo accounts but how many live accounts will
[328]
you need to lose in order to learn to trade this is a big factor that is the
[334]
downfall of many traders is that they will open an account and use their
[339]
savings or take money out of a credit card and and if they start losing that
[343]
money and if that money starts to dwindle down that's the end and you
[348]
might want to look at this with a little bit more realistic expectations and a
[353]
little bit more of a long-term view such as if you were going to college you
[358]
might pay as much as $1,000 per class or or how much does it cost per semester or
[365]
per quarter how much does it cost per year to go to college and compare that
[369]
to just opening a small account and say this is live trading 101 it's gonna cost
[376]
me a thousand five thousand dollars or however much you choose to use of real
[382]
capital and know in advance that that money is likely to be your tuition
[388]
payment for learning how to trade and you could go through several of those
[392]
and it would still be worth it so if you start off with this realistic positive
[397]
expectation then you're guaranteed to succeed
[401]
because you're not going to give up but if you are devastated when you lose the
[407]
only savings that you have on a live account then that's going to destroy all
[413]
hope for you and if you had just had a little bit more of a realistic
[418]
expectation just like any student who's going to college and it's going to pay
[423]
you don't just come up with the money for one class when you go to college and
[428]
if once you pay for that class if you're not making a living as a surgeon or
[433]
something you give up because you know you're gonna have to pay for more
[436]
classes and it's going to take some time so have a realistic expectation this is
[442]
one of the biggest factors that causes people to lose is just having a totally
[446]
unrealistic expectation and not being prepared to make that payment of tuition
[452]
on losing more than one live account how many maybe one maybe five what if it
[459]
took ten live accounts would it still be worth it and how much time would that
[463]
take how much money would that be in and compare it to the cost of a college
[467]
degree becoming a professional in some other industry or starting some other
[473]
business and chances are you'll find that it's really cheap and easy for you
[476]
to learn this business compared to some other things
[479]
how many pips per month do you earn on average after you learn how to trade how
[487]
much increase in capital are you seeing are you able to get 5 percent or 10
[492]
percent 20 percent increase in capital per month traders from other financial
[499]
markets consider this to be unheard of but if you've ever been involved in
[504]
forex trading you've probably seen that this is quite possible to do there's no
[509]
guarantee that you'll be able to do this and there's no guarantee this is typical
[514]
results because typical results is for people to fail and to give up and to
[519]
lose their capital how much time will you need for your monthly profit to
[524]
exceed your expenses that depends on how much
[527]
capital you're starting out with after you learn how to trade factor in the
[532]
amount of time it takes to learn how to trade then factor in how much time will
[537]
it take for you to build your capital to the point where your monthly profit
[540]
could exceed your living expenses then never take any capital out of your
[546]
account until your monthly profit is at least two times your monthly expenses
[551]
and then only take out no more than 50% of your monthly profits now you see what
[557]
this is going to do this will enable you to once you get to that point if you
[561]
ever get to that point most people will never get to that point because they're
[565]
just get frustrated and give up but if you ever get to that point then you're
[570]
going to at that point be able to replace your job with forex trading and
[578]
continue to increase your capital then just keep repeating the same thing if
[584]
it's working for you just keep doing it over and over if your account is not
[588]
increasing it'll stop go back to step one learn how to trade because if your
[594]
account if your account is not increasing just consider I'm still
[597]
