I hate forex - the truth about gains in Forex

2 years of trading to know the market? I been reading and I thought by trading demo, I will know how it works. Trading real money is for knowing my psychology when I am in a profit or loss.

Correct if I am wrong.

Is it safe to get professional signal service? I believe it do not promise to be always profitable.

Thanks. It is nice to read.
I have found a number of trading video on Youtube. Is there any nice and good video to share from anyone?

I love forex

I'm also new to forex, but have been trading live this year. I don't go for a percentage of my account - but go for a number of pips. I have been able to do so consistently each month at this point. The thing that works for me, aside from my setups, is that I enter into small sized trades relative to my account size. It gives much breathing room to let me sleep at night.

This does not earn me huge returns off the bat, but lets me get my feet wet with live trading and become settled in my methods. Two months ago, I doubled my trading size (apparently still at much smaller sizes than I tend to read in this forum). I am still achieving the same pips, but receiving double the return. It will take several months for me to be comfortable with the double-risk sizes. Once I settle with that, I can increase again.

The point is - you don't need to be rich today. Be patient. If I can remain consistent for four more years, during which time I will be slowly increasing my trading size as my account grows, I will be nearly duplicating my yearly salary. Wish me luck everyone! I realize that eight months (my current length of live trading) could still yet be a fluke and it could all turn on its head! Fortunately, the careful increase in lot sizes should help me avoid wiping out all of my gains if I begin to realize that a modified strategy is necessary.

Finally, I saw a post earlier in the thread mentioning that starting with $500 and earning 10% a month is not worth it - merely $50. Enter the patience strategy. I won't do compound calculations here, but $50 per month for a year is $600 - a little over double your money. So, then (again easy math) year two, double your trade - that $1100 is $2200, yr 3 $4400, yr 5 $8800, yr 6 $17,600, yr 7 $35,200, and yr 8, $70,400. So what if it took 8 years! Consistency and patience are the name of the game. If you can't have patience for the end goal, I imagine it will be equally a struggle to patiently follow a consistent method during the day to day.
