What helped you the most to be profitable?

following the rules of MM less tham 2% and RM minimum 1:5

In the trading business each trader needs to set his own rules regarding Money Management.

The Basic principles have to be followed as that will only decide our long term success here

The turning point is realize that we trade the price, not trade the stupid charts, losing is part of the game.

Have you played poker tournament?
The same advice holds true on Forex. The key to my success was trade selection ('was' because these days i don't trade, i just invest).
Don't play each hand. If you are beginner, only play AA, AK, KK or QQ.
In forex, these refer to pinbars at strong S/R area, trend breakouts, etc. If you trade all the time, you will lose.

Positive attitudes, risk management, relatively low leverage.

my calm attitude at the time of some news, keen learning and most importantly the realization that losing is the other side of trading.

What helps me the most is keeping a level head, learning from my mistakes and making short-term trades.

Understandig that every graphic I can see is a combination of time and space.

I don't try anymore to predict the market, I just need to read where the volatility is going.

As soon as i started using the Price action strategy, i stopped losing money, broke even for few months then started to earn money

I m still learning and open to learn from any PA mentor/coach

I have done a lot of trading during the past few years, but this spring i read the free ebook of Tom Williams "Master the Markets" (this is really without wanting to make any advertising for this book). But now after i finished this book, i detected how little i knew yet of how and why the market is moving.

I never looked at the volume in a chart, and also the price spread told me nothing about what was going on in the market. But now since i really understand, that only the big players in the market can leave a recognizeable footprint in the chart, my trading really jumped to a new level.

I deleted all indicators out of my charts and now i am looking just on the price spread and the volume in combination with the trend-definition of the good old Charles Dow.

To bring it to the point, include volume analysis to my trading really helped me most to get on the profitable way

Having read that book many years ago and for those on here who may not be familiar with his works, are you actually referring to the range in price when you say spread?

1.) Read
2.) Learn
3.) Test

open small account

Yes, what i mean with price spread is actually the range of a bar from its high to its low. And i also look at where the candle closes in relation to its high/low. What i am not interested in is where the candle opens. (Even in the software that Tom Williams invented, there is no open price displayed at all, when you use a Bar Chart)

constantly review your trades , back test , determination and discipline

Waiting for price to go up since buying point. Its risky with like 100 leverage but with 10:1 leverage it pays off without much risk when you know what are you buying.

Discipline and experience. Following my strategy strictly without deviating from it and, most importantly, knowing when NOT to trade.

The key to becoming profitable is "Understanding Money Management" and most importantly being Comfortable with your risk.

If you can do that you will become a great consistent trader

Moved from 5 min to 1 hr timeframe and above and low leverage and let go of expectations

Keep to 1 relatively successful system

That is a good advice. One should follow their own rules without breaking them all the time. Being disciplined and organized is the key.
