Forex Trading QA - 2 Tips For Trading Wi...

Etienne Crete
About this episode

In this Q&A episode, I discuss how someone can better trade with a full-time job. That involves knowing how to best manage your time and implementing a few things to make sure you remain effective.

2 Tips For Trading With A Full-Time Job

Most people starting off in Forex trading don't have the chance to trade full-time from day #1.

Tip #1: Establish A Solid Schedule And Block Off Time

The first to trade while having a full-time job is to spend some time planning how you'll spend your time. I discuss how I block time off in my calendar constantly. That is very important for me to stay focused.

Tip #2: Prepare, Trade, And Review Every Time

While it can be easy to show up, trade, and leave, that is a sure way not to move forward. As a trader of any kind trading with a full-time job, you must combine 3 major activities.

Even if you prepare or review for 5 minutes, that's still a good start!

The advice shared in my Facebook Live Q&As are based on my own experience and the interviews I had with multiple successful traders on the Desire To Trade Podcast.
