If you want to earn profits from forex trading on regular basis, proven forex trading systems are absolute requirement. If you try to search at the internet, there are a bunch of such systems available everywhere; of course, not all of them are proven trading system. Your job now is to identify the one that really works.

So, how do you find real forex trading systems? An easy way is checking whether it utilize resources that you need to make profits and make you a better trader such as daily advices, chart, lessons, up to date news, etc (it doesn't make decisions from thin air). Also, check a few other requirement for an excellent trading system by utilizing the guarantee period (normally sixty days):

1. It's not requires any complicated rules or way too many variables. Over the time, it has proven that a simple system works better than a complicated one. So if you examine a system and it's filled with complex rules, it might not be the one for you.

2. It has to make profits with as little loss trades as possible. Be aware that no matter how good a system is, it is inevitable for you to experience loss occasionally. But in a good system, you will notice that in the end of the month you still make profits. Test your system in a practice account and find out the result yourself.

3. Trading based on long or mid term trends. There are systems that will suggest Scalping (a trading strategy where you have to make a bunch of trades in a day with small profits in each trade), but personally I think a forex robot can do that far more effectively than a human trader does, so it is not recommended for manual trader.

Shoot for long term trends implies that your position will keep open for a couple of days or more, so you have to keep calm if the market movements is against you. Forex trading systems that follow long term trends will offer you large revenues.

When aiming for long term profits, usually a human trader with poor system will affected by his emotion, especially when the trend is against him. This is simply acceptable as it is his funds on the line, but this is also what distinguishes newbees and professionals.

An expert trader with real system will not affected, has high expectation in his system, and has put some countermeasures methods to prevent large loss such as stop loss order. Meanwhile, an amateur will wait while looking at the prices, hoping the movements will turn to his side, and when he can’t take it any longer, he will close the position, scared of larger loss.

Applying proper risk management methods is a good idea. For example: put a stop loss and take profit order on the price that you want, then leave the monitor if you simply cannot deal with the tension.

4. It can trade multiple currencies. Each trader has their own preferences on the most suitable currency pairs for them. You don’t have to restrict it to one pair; in fact, most traders have a few preferred currency pairs that they really good and familiar at. A real system can adjust itself with his user preferences by having strategies to analyze and earn profits in different currency pairs.

There are lots of forex trading systems at the market, but you only need one that works to support your path to success in forex trading. Testing a system in a practice account is a good idea if you have the time.
