From what I have read the 5% includes professional traders as well and at 5% may be too high. It is not easy, best read all through Babypips and there is a heap of free information out there on technical trading. But All the technical indicators do not forecast what will happen when you trade the news with Felix. Look at the other threads here and read them all.
If you are not willing to do that then forget trading, unless you are a born natural you wont stand a chance without study and then lots more study. Think of it as going to school, then college, then university, then doing a Phd and if you did all that right and have the ability to only do the right thing wiht absolute discipline then you MAY succeed.
OR you can subscribe to trading signals services and use them. BUT if you do that you need to be at your terminal at the right time and to follow instructions exactly, instantly. Many of these systems are not compatible with having any sleep, it depends who wrote the system and where they trade from. You can get around this by using a fully automatic system. (FXDD or FXAuto) etc. Also there are differences in the chart values between your mentor's (indicator supplier's ) chart and the one you are using, from your FX dealer, both in values and timing. Felix and others have written about this, read every thing you can.
