Remember: in trading being average is not enough. The world’s financial markets, understably, attract the best minds on the planet who are often equipped with seemingly bottomless resources and the latest technology, so the above is … just how it is.

No reason to dispair though, anyone can learn to excel in almost anything. And there are many edges that big players are simply not interested in, and which can be successfully explored by smaller players like us.

Also, no matter how you do it, trading is likely to become your lifelong learning project, a whole lot of fun in itself! And what better place to start digging into all those advanced topics than our Forum, a uniquely useful and free resource to help you cement your skills and knowledge about how we operate on the markets.
