{quote} What do you do to control your risk?
Cutting the exposures Not much more we can do... of course it has to be balanced with missed profits.. because the less you risk... lesser the potential rewards.. in most cases at least But the overall picture is important.. some do get lost in the "cutting the risk" not seeing that in the end they might miss epic opportunity... and that they tight risks are slowly eating the balance anyway... and not protecting... Unless one can find trades that would go through without spreads and at SL0...
Can you afford to take that chance?

Success comes to those who work for it. So is the case in forex trading. You have to work hard and not lose patience. It may take years but you don’t have to lose hope. The results of fx trading is worth all the hard work.

agree, there is need a exact goal for ensuring success , but the main problem is we really dont know what actually goal and how to fix it. making more money cant be your goal. after all its a complicated issue.

I would suggest reading through ideas in the "trading system" and try to use them, understand them. after that, start to mortify it and try to make your own style trading ways.
Personally, I believe there is not the best systems but a suitable system only for you

True. A system that works very well for one individual may not work as well for another simply because the people using them are so different.

True; live trading is all about mental game; without enough preparations the ultimate result will be so unsafe.

very good point you have noticed about psychology , when traders trade in demo they feel free to trade anytime because there is no real money but in live account no way there is to avoid emotions. this the real game.

Wise words! Anyone can trade on a demo account. Real game begins when you start trading live.

Are you pleased by what you're learning with a mentor, compared on studying on your own?

The mentorship is done now I finished it end of last year.
I struggled big time in trading I would have a good few weeks then crash

so then I found a mentor and then worked hard with his teachings and I think I have turned it around.

this was my full first year at it and looks like it will be profitable one

so I always advise people if they are struggling the quickest way is find someone making it , ask them to teach , work on it yourself . rather than trying different strategies and paying the market to teach you a lesson if you know what I mean
