A Forex Trading System That Works

Before using a Forex trading method, whatever it is, it is essential to test it on a virtual Forex account, but more especially, to check its effectiveness, look at the past charts and check how many winning orloosing trades the method generates.

No method is effective at 100% and all those who try to sell you this type of method get rich by the sales of their expensive ebooks, rather than by Forex. If I would hold a method as effective as affirmed by certain salesmen, I would not waste my time in intensive marketing to sell it, I would apply it with a real account at the forex!
