This is the 4X Q&A podcast. This is VP, professional 4X prop trader here in the United States,

answering your user submitted questions every Monday.

Now if you have a 4X trading related question, great, you get to ask me one, so come up with the best one you got and send it to me.

Go over to no nonsense 4X.com slash ask VP.

Fill out the form and I will get back to you within 48 hours. Now we're going to do a bit of a down shift here in episode 10.

We had a really nice head of steam going.

Everybody's getting excited after episode 9 because everybody loves indicators and we were starting to put an actual plan in place and that gets everybody really really excited because after all of these videos and podcasts of me sitting there telling you what not to do, we actually put something in place. I said, hey, this is what you need to start doing, go do it.

It took all the way till episode 9, but we got there.

But here in episode 10, we're going to down shift just a little bit because this is a question I've been getting a lot lately and I think it's really important and we probably should have gotten it earlier. I just wasn't getting the question.

But if you guys have ever seen my elimination video, it's in the core concepts playlist on YouTube,

I will link it below.

The main point of that video is to get rid of all the things that are or may hold you back from actually

doing well in this market before you even think of putting your plan together.

You can't fly with a 200 pound weight on your shoulders. You got to get rid of that weight first. Then you can fly.

Now I'm not going to bury the lead here. You guys all know what the question is for this week because you have all read the title.

But there could be some of you right now and a lot of you who are just starting your

Forex trading adventure who could end up stuck in a bad broker and absolute

worst-case scenario you could have a fantastic algorithm, be laser tight on your money

management and just be out there taking over the world in the Forex market and then a bad broker can pretty much ruin everything.

Almost did for me.

We'll go over that too.

I think some of you guys have heard this story, but we'll go over it again in a little more detail
