asidefellow posted:Yes, it’s all about a little bit of hit and trial and a lot and some luck. I remember in 2018 when I switched from alpari, I stumbled upon bollinger bands and keltner for the first time and that basically changed the game for me. Could easily locate strong breakouts. The volatility signaled by these indicators worked close to precise for me.
That’s what I would suggest to our friend Kyle also here. Try out different plans, test them out and make for yourself a strong trading plan which should consist of a) entry and exit signs, indicators, reward to risk ratio, leverage, trade size, sl, tp.

If I may continue on my tangent, I have been looking to explore more indicators and ichimoku kinko hyo in particular has got my attention. Does anyone here use it?
Mar 05 2021 at 03:58
@harshalgibbs I do, on xm. If you like ichimoku, you would probably also like autochartist. You’d find autochartist for free on Instaforex and IC Markets.

Instaforex is really good. It has a wide range of currency pairs for investment. And order execution is real time.

Halexpark899 posted:I guess every broker has some perks. Like fxview for example, has real good execution time. I think we’re diverging though lol. What about that autochartist?
Fxview is good but Instaforex is really good. It has a wide range of currency pairs for investment. And order execution is real time.

@Harshal From the horse’s mouth - it works swell for alerts and zoning in the chart patterns. I have been using it on MT5 from quite a bit now, but now that I am getting experimental and planning on trying the demos for other trading platforms, I will have to change my first preference of indicator

Chris, that’s quite some talk for something with a 2.5 rating on forexpeacearmy!

Exactly Gary, I don’t understand why people are so much against demo trading. Like what’s better than losing nothing and still trading.

The only rule that I follow when trading forex is not to risk more than 1-2% of my account size per trade. As far as using leverage is concerned, it depends on how much you are comfortable with.
Mar 26 2021 at 04:54
Everything is perfect if you have no issues with it. So, it’s better to know your requirements and risk appetite before choosing a trade size or leverage to use.
Mar 26 2021 at 10:43
Trading is not just about tools and measurements. It's a lot about understanding the crowd mentality to work with your account in a way that you can minimise your losses. So, while determining the right position size, you better consider your risk tolerance and the size of the account.
Mar 27 2021 at 06:18
I try to maintain low levels of leverage and none of my trades are complete without the use of trailing stops as it reduces the downside and protects capital. I am a conservative trader and I don’t use brokers other than xm and octafx and never use leverage more than 1:5. I know there is a lot more that I need to do but sooner or later, I’ll get there.

Choosing trade size and leverage to use in forex relies upon the capital in your account and trading experience. It relies upon your position measuring as well. A demo account can help you if you aren't sure about what you are doing. Popular FX trading sites offer demo accounts that can help decide the right path through practice with virtual money.
