Here's my suggestion:
Most traders are outsiders not realizing who and what they are up against and should walk away or trade very infrequently the smallest account/amount possible and don't buy anything.
First observation: Insiders make the money.
A "successful" foreign exchange wizard admits that forex is all about "relationships" and was still making phone calls during the interview.
Second observation: Forex is manipulated.
In Demo 1m or 5m to save time, use any system or just chase it, bid-ask (BA) visible, for example, Buy, and when BA reverses, close position and Sell, and when BA reverses, close position and Buy, and on and on.
Third observation: The computer reacts to mouse movement.
Place the mouse on the Buy (or Sell) button, tick usually freezes, pulls back, reverses, and changes color next bar. The computer is probably reading MouseOnBuyButton() or equivalent before you even ClickMouseOnBuyButton().
Fourth observation: All markets are manipulated including all platforms.
Pull up FreeStockCharts and do a settings comparison of any two or three securities. All markets move together correlated. Even precious metals are not perfect inverse. The link is probably a centralized computer using script(parms).
Fifth Observation: Nothing works.
People counter with all kinds of things, their broker, their platform, their experience, but nobody can argue with facts. In addition to the above observations tested on forty top-rated broker platforms including ECNs, tests were conducted on over 20 classic and custom systems, 3 of every timeframe six years data each, 20 pairs, in Multicharts, Supercharts, and Strategy Tester: Everything failed, only one TDI variation broke even and it easily gets pushed around in demo and live trading. I trade ONE penny (.01) and most of the time, I say f*** it, I'm not trying to make a living doing this crap or even trying to make any money.
