Trading the DAX was very popular, traded it many times and the commissions were good because it was so predictable ,not as much now, it would gap up at the open or gap down then it would close the gap on a regular basis.

Do you know why these changes happened actually? The political situation in Europe?

Less traders getting away with calling their buddies in Germany ,'lets push this down for fun see who freaks out'.

Trading course will not lead to consistent profitability, but just to understand what should to avoid. All the rest is coming with experience, own understanding about the market and proper mind set.

In Fx trading, learning is not easy despite of having too many sources including pips school, learning sometimes boning and usually new traders get tempts to start trading without enough knowledge and become fascinated with the way of trading live which may cause laziness and trapped by wishful thinking get rich quickly scheme

Every traders got their own criteria for installing stops, it also all depends on how much you can afford to lose at an unsuccessful deal. And look at the trading strategy.

My plan is to lose as little as possible on every trade, that's why you have to wait for the right moment or what you think is a higher probability of it going in the right direction, just example: waiting for re tests, extended or exhausted price action

In my opinion:

Leverage needs are different to every trader, depends on your strategy and how much money you plan to risk on every trade, anything above 5% risk per trade is suicide, 3% is already a good number.

If (for example) you plan to eventually open an account with $5,000:

1. open a $5,000 demo account and trade with that for a few months untill you become profitable. That way you will have time to test and try your system and emotions.

2. Once you are profitable on demo start with a real account, but fund it only with $1,000 (out of your $5,000), wait until you are profitable, at least one month.

3. Deposit up to half of your capital, wait until you are profitable. At least one month.

4. Deposit the whole amount

You wil:
a) learn to trade first with demo funds,
b) you will learn to control your emotions first with a small amount of money
c) You will not risk your capital until you feel safe and you can really trade
d) You can use all the time it will take you to become profitable to save the money to finally fund your real account
 

interesting!
I have to learn a lot yet.

I think the main reason is that people think they can enter a market and ready. .. believe it is easy and that from one day to another can be a trader, to succeed takes time analyzing markets and in particularly by developing a system that functions for them because if a system works for me does not imply that works for all others persons.
