Being able to pick the a good forex currency trading system from a bad one is a key skill every trader should master. Without being able to tell which systems are good, and which are bad, you can easily waste months of time and many thousands of dollars following a system that has no chance of success.

This short article will help you quickly identify potential forex trading systems using a very simple 4-part process.

Most systems can be quickly ignored simply because they have fatal flaws that ensure they will never work long-term. Here are the tell tale signs of a flawed system:

They only teach theory and not a step by step plan you can easily follow. Then they expect you to understand how to translate that complicated theory into the real world and somehow figure out the steps all on your own!

They expect you to understand extremely complicated fundamental trading strategies instead of teaching you simple technical trading strategies that can be grasped in minutes not hours.

They ignore risk management and don’t teach you how to protect your capital. Even worse, they tend to lean towards riskier trading strategies that compound your losses.

If you do nothing more than shy away from systems with those flaws you’ll already be well on your way to choosing a good system to follow.

There have been hundreds (if not thousands) of trading systems released over the last decade, some better than others, and I’ve seen my fair share of them. This experience has allowed me to create a simple 4-part system for evaluating any trading system, and I’m going to share it with you right now.

Step 1. Your trading system should give you all the steps you need to succeed and not leave anything out. It should be as “paint by numbers” as possible so you can get started quickly and not have to guess at what to do in any situation.

Step 2. The system must teach you proven technical analysis strategies that are simple to understand and easy to implement. It should also require some thought and not be completely automated.

Step 3. Your trading system should not be time consuming and should not need you to be chained to your computer all day. It should be flexible and require only a few minutes each day.

Step 4. The system must use a complimentary risk management strategy that protects your capital and removes virtually all the risk in every single trade.

This evaluation system will allow you to quickly identify a potential forex currency trading system while eliminating duds from your radar.

Remember in forex there will always be some element of risk, and no system is perfect, so use your own judgement along with these guidelines and you’ll greatly increase your chances of picking a winning system.
