Is it really possible to become a professional FOREX trader and make money in just 14 days?

The answer is yes, and here we are going to show you how to do this in simple steps.

One of the most inspiring stories I ever read was when veteran trader Richard Dennis took a group of people with no trading experience and taught them to trade in just 2 weeks.

The result was a group of trader nicknamed â??the turtlesâ? who went on to become some of the most successful traders of all time.

Richard Dennis taught 3 key principles to his students:

1. A simple technical method, they could easily understand and therefore have confidence in to trade.

2. Rigid money management techniques to preserve equity.

3. The mindset to follow the method through losing periods with total discipline.

Working smart

The emphasis was on working smart not hard, to achieve trading success with no filler.

So lets look at how you can do the same taking the above 3 points and look at what you have to learn.

1. Method

Just like â??the turtlesâ? you should learn a simple trading method and it should be technically based.

While there are many ways of making money, you should start with a similar method to the turtles.

Learn about technical analysis and how to use support and resistance in relation to breakouts.

Trading breakouts is simple to understand, simple to apply and it works as well today as it ever has.

You then need to add in some momentum indicators to indicate price strength or weakness.

Look up stochastics and use them.

There is no better momentum indicator to start with.

2. Preserving equity

You need to play great defense and preserve equity.

Trading breakouts sets your stops for you (behind the breakout point) if you only trade valid breakouts you will have the odds on your side for big gains and small losses should the trade go wrong.

3. Trading with discipline

This comes from having a simple method you understand.

If you understand why it works and why it will continue to work, you will have the confidence to trade it through losing periods.

Discipline comes from confidence and thatâ??s why using a simple technical breakout method is best.

Many traders think they should use more complicated methods, but the fact is there is no correlation between how complicated a method is and how successful it is, in fact the opposite is true:

Complicated methods tend to break easier than simple ones in the face of brutal ever changing market conditions.

If you learn a breakout system and acquire mental discipline you can make money and all the information you need is freely available on the net.

You can do it!

Most novice traders donâ??t believe they can learn to trade on their own, but it really is the best way to do it as you are the only person who can give yourself success no one else can.

Forget the gurus trying to sell you $100 e-book and promising you instant riches â?? you wont make money that way, Take responsibility for your destiny.

So put in some effort and you will be richly rewarded for your work.

There are some parents out there especially those from Asian culture who use the cane or smack their kids to knock some sense into them. I live with such a parent. Some parents such as one of mine beat their kids hard (mine are Indian) and get ferociously angry at times. Spanking maybe okay as a last resort and I think that more parents especially white parents should do it but at the same time I wonder if there’s any way to raise well mannered children without spanking or beating. What do you think?

There are other ways but they are not effective for all children. I’m for spanking and I hate when people speak so badly against it. When people call a slap on the behind abuse, i tend to wonder what their kids act like. In past generations spanking was the method of discipline and it is very obvious kids in the past were a lot more well mannered. Parents in this society are so worried about their kids getting them put in jail it’s ridiculous. You shouldn’t be scared of your kids.

My hubby and I love inviting our friends over to watch a movie, play a game, eat some food, and to let our kids play. We also like doing the same thing in other people’s homes. I don’t know how to handle those who have really bad discipline techniques. The problem isn’t that I don’t like how they discipline, it’s that what they’re doing doesn’t work. Because of that they spend most of their time trying to "control" their kids, getting stressed because it isn’t working, and not really enjoying the time as much as we could be.

What are some ways I can handle that? I respect that we can have different discipline techniques, but I struggle when some so obviously don’t work and the situation turns into a battle for control.

Lead by example.

Talking to them about it may put up their defenses and offend them. If, however, your parenting techniques are indeed "better" and your children are more well-behaved, then your friends are bound to notice that eventually. Maybe they will start to learn a bit from watching you, or maybe they will come to you directly for advice. Nothing is more annoying than unsolicited parenting advice, no matter how desperately they may seem to need it. Lead by your good example, not by your words. Doing otherwise will probably just result in their guard being put up, and may even ruin your friendship. Good luck!
