Trading is simple, the things you need to do before looking for an entry include:
1. Analyze from 2 or 3 higher timeframes.
2. Identify immediate trends on higher timeframes.
3. Identify recent price action at support and resistance zones on higher timeframes.
4. If there is no price action against the trend, the pair you are looking at could be looking for a good entry.
5. Look for an entry from support if the trend is up and from resistance if the trend is down. Never think about going against the trend, because you will never know when the price will turn back to follow the trend and go against you. Price always moves quickly in the direction of the trend.
6. EXIT: When the price is clearly showing signs against you, close the trade even if you take a small loss.
* Always set Stop Loss on your trades.
