What Anime Can Teach You About Forex Trading

Naruto can teach you to never give up

It’s hard to find a person who’s never heard of this major hit. Whether you like this anime or not, nothing could better illustrate the constant improvement traders pursue than Naruto

Same rules can be applied to Forex trading. In order to succeed you need to learn, train, find a technique that works for you, and become a Hokage, achieving constant profitability.

Little Witch Academia teaches us to always learn something new, but never forget the past

It’s one of the cutest and most fairy-tale-ish anime movies out there, but you’d be surprised how many secret grown-up messages it carries. This anime is something you could show your kids if you want to teach them the importance of hard work, responsibility and money management.

In one of the episodes, the main heroines realize that their school owes a lot of money to the fabled dragon Fafnir. When they come to him to renegotiate the terms, they don’t see a typical dragon. Instead, they see Fafnir sitting in his office in a bathrobe and slippers, surrounded by monitors with charts on them.

In ancient times, this dragon used to sleep on his pile of gold, but when the world began to change, he seized the opportunity and started to make money through modern investments.

Even the most ancient creature in this world realizes when it’s time to learn something new. Little Witch Academia shows us that in order to be rich and powerful, you must always be on the lookout for a better way to invest your money - sitting on your gold never works.

One Piece teaches us to take risks if we want to change something

Anyone who has a goal in life will find a kindred soul in Luffy. He’s not a perfect role model, but what he’s good at is being determined and realistic. He understands that you won’t change your life for the better by staying at home and doing your usual routine.

To achieve your goal, you have to step out of your comfort zone, make a plan, and always move forward. Luffy may not be the best example of risk management, but he shows that anyone can achieve their dream if they’re persistent enough and prepared to make some changes.

Death Note shows us that overconfidence can destroy even the most perfect plan

The main hero is an exceptional student: he excels in every subject, receives the highest grades, sets records in school, and spends his free time studying. He’s brilliant at almost everything, but when the time comes to fulfil his plan, his overconfidence makes him reckless.

This is something that many traders face every day. They prepare a perfect plan, but when they start trading, their pride takes over and makes them strive away from the initial strategy.

What you can learn from Death Note is that you should never let your pride drive you away from your plan, or everything you worked to build may come crashing down.

One Punch Man teaches us that practice makes perfect

Sometimes the best thing you can do with your life is something nobody else does.

Not only does he realize his dream, but he becomes the strongest hero alive in the process, able to defeat any enemy with just one punch.

But he doesn’t have any superpowers. When he’s asked how he became so powerful, he simply answers “100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run every single day.” There’s no special secret, no radioactive spiders, no meteors, just a regular everyday routine - that’s what makes you successful.

One Punch Man teaches us that anything is possible if you dedicate yourself to your goal and do something that not many people can - be persistent. Because if you want to achieve something, you have to do it yourself; nobody will do it for you.
