The last point is so important! So many (beginners especially) want to know every little detail of other people's successful trades.

Exactly!!!!

I agree with point1 & 2 but 1 month is very short period to reject a strategy if strategy is profitable over long period(say 10years) of backtesting.
The market will trade through it’s path of least resistance .

My number one golden rule is Money Management. Never bet more than what I can afford to lose.

What timescale what you recommend instead? Or can this not be answered?

1 year with very low risk per trade(say 0.25%).
The market will trade through it’s path of least resistance .

The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one's self would wish to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in many religions and cultures. The Golden Rule can be considered an ethic of reciprocity in some religions, although other religions treat it differently.

My rules for achieving a profitable trading voyage is the successful utilization of funds with the proper monitoring of risks. I won't simply put my funds at hazards any moment. Rather I prefer to wait for the time pattern to be well organized so that after proper analysis i can make the best decisions for my funds.

If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.

My golden rule is to trade without emotions and greed.

Before trading, proper research should be undertaken which is hardly done. Investors generally go by the name of the company which is not the right way to put your money into the forex market. So, informed decision making is important.

For me that was the golden rule that really made a difference to my trading. All the other 'golden rules' are obvious but this one really changed my success rate
