Be convinced that Forex trading is 80% about research. Also your ability to do an honest self appraisal of your current position in the market and what you are capable of achieving in the market situation will also do you a lot of good.

Before you begin to research, make sure you know what are looking for! Focused researching of information will mean you will not be wasting time on reading through information and the data that you do not really need.

Keep five things into consideration while doing your research. They are (i) Identifying the trade (ii) in-depth fundamental analyses of the trade (iii) financial analysis of the trade (iv) assessing the potential trade as against the existing real market conditions and (iv) managing the open position until it’s time exit the trade.

If an investor or Forex broker keeps the above factors in mind, he/she will be able to carry out the research that will be far more fine-tuned and it will help him to upgrade and enhance the quality of trading.

If you want to become a successful Forex trader you will also have to learn to be honest with yourself in assessing the size of your trading capital. You will have to accept and understand that you cannot trade on every opportunity, since you have limited funds so you will have to be smart about selecting the trades that you do enter.

As a smart Forex trader you will also need to decide on just how much research and data is right for you to gain enough leverage about the market. This will help you make a lot more winning trades. Also, understand about your own trading style. It finally boils down to your approach.
