The key in learning how to use forex trading, is to pick a system and stick to it consistently.

Keep in mind that you'll never make a profit if you keep jumping around from one system to another; however, it's easy to allow yourself to be tempted sometimes. If you find it hard to keep to one trading system, here are some techniques that may help you to learn to be consistent.

1. Carefully consider your decision before you follow any system. One successful businessman has said that the secret of his success was thorough research before a decision, and then sticking to it like iron. Make perfect that your system is always profitable... not inevitably the most ideal. And you need to be comfortable with all the actions that it will require you to take, whether things are going well or badly.

2. When using self discipline in different areas of your life, you can train yourself and use this skill prior to live trading. Do not pick the thing that you have most trouble with, but something that you could fairly easily master. It might be getting up at the same time every day,

3. If you find some trades that are too tempting to pass up (even though they don't fit your buying criteria), it is fine to use funds from a separate "fun" mini account that you have set up for this purpose. Due to the probability of losing money over a period of time, it is important you are financially stable to take the losses. Otherwise, avoid temptation and watch the trades using a training account, or simply on paper. It is important to track all of them because we often remember the few that we profit from, but forget the majority that were a loss.

4. It is important you don't disclose system trades with anyone! Keep consulting and breaking your head before you fix up a forum but refrain from any discussion on the pros and cons of your system once you are in it. You will quickly be swamped by negativity from people who want to believe that their own system is better. Equally, do not discuss it with non trading friends or family members. Some will not support it because they don't know enough about it.

This is fifth in the series. Drinking alcohol while trading is forbidden. Really, you ought to avoid looking at the market at all if you've been drinking. If you see a tempting trade that breaks your normal rules it will be much harder to resist when you are under the influence of alcohol.

Realistically, success in forex trading does not result from working from home in pajamas and relaxing with a beer and cookie jar nearby, even though most people would love to be able to do just that. If you want to always use a consistent trading plan, you should avoid the use of alcoholic beverages which can cause your thought processes to become fuzzy.
