Everyone, every trader has their own truth.
Bottomless wonders spring from simple rules, which are repeated without end

I learn from pros in a so far very appealing package. Started not a long time ago but so far I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Video lessons, quizzes, 1-1 mentoring sessions, webinars and a demo account with real-time market data. I will spend plenty more time before I go on a live account though...
How is that going? Are you pleased with the results?

It's true, unfortunately. Sometimes I feel like I was lot more confident as a newbie because back then I was not aware how much I didn't know.

Every other trader is following expert trading signals and making money. The reason is they are not to trade alone and take risk with their own mind.

It depends on the trader providing the signals. You can either luck out and happen upon a skillful one or... you don't. And that hurts.

Ourselves, I mean our psychological condition, then the fund; money it self, and the last one is technique.

I, personally, would rate the strategy a little higher because you can accumulate funds if you are patient and your strategy is sound.

I think money management is the best. Most beginner losing money because they start trading with greedy, they think they can multiply their account within seconds.
Then forex need discipline in learning, demo account first
I do not recommend anything, please blame me not. Thanks

Question: What helped you the most to be profitable?

Answer: Good money management. Not being greedy is a major key and always having a stop loss. Remember, FX is not gambling, its a system of probabilities. You must be willing to take on losses and not be emotionally attached to these losses. Have a FX strategy and stick to it if it helps you win at least 30% of the time. You don't always have to win, but have a good risk to reward ration on trades, i use 3:1 and only risk 1%-2% of my account depending on how good the trade is.

And please i cant stress this enough, listen to a few audio books. I can recommend some if anyone is interested.

All the best !
