It’s very important that if you’re exploring forex  trading or already trading that you have a trading system. One aspect of that  trading system are the actual setup rules which usually contain entry and exit  techniques. Traders put a lot of time and effort in developing these setup rules  too often neglecting other aspects such as position sizing or relative size of  your profits compared to losses. Therefore it’s important to find a  comprehensive forex trading system. Where can you find a comprehensive forex  trading system?

Throughout the last three years, I’ve been through many  trading systems obtained mostly from books, forums, or other websites. I’ve  found that almost every time, I’ll mold that system into something totally  different than the original incarnation, something that fits my personality and  style of trading. Many times, the original system will also need to be expanded  to include things that were neglected or forgotten. Those of you searching for  the perfect system may find this method of modifying existing forex trading  systems desirable.

There are places where you can find the whole package  without any need for modification. This brings me to the question, “where did  you get your forex trading system?” I think there are four main ways of getting  a trading system. Buy it. There are tons for sale out there on the net but heed  caution. Many were just copied from forums, books, or other websites. Sometimes  when you buy forex education, part of the package will include a trading system.  For instance, Rob Booker provides his Arizona rules as part of his mentoring  program. Get a free one.

There are many free systems that can be found  in books, forums, or other websites. I guess one can question whether a system  found is a book is free since you paid for the book. Create an original system  yourself. My main trading system is an original creation. There may be other  systems out there that are similar to it since it’s a culmination of years of  exposure to other systems and experiences. Modify someone else’s system and make it your own.
