All the points covered are really good. This post is really helpful for the traders especially the beginners will be greatly benefitted from this. There’s a lot to learn here and I agree with all the points. Yes, a broker is not mandatory, most social media “gurus” are scammers, you need to develop your own strategy, learning is important before trading, and keeping realistic goals, all the points are very well said.

Never be greedy when you are a forex trader. Greed won’t only blur how you see the market but will also ruin your trading account.

Your 5 points are important! Maximum traders don’t trade in demo acciount and its’ their fault. They take demo trading as a very simple factor. But this demo trading strengthens the basement of a trader. Expert traders also use demo account to retain their expertism for a long time.

Don’t believe what others say. Find your reasons to trade and not to trade.

Here are the 3 things I have learnt in my career-
1. Learning risk management is equally important as learning technical analysis.
2. Money management is more important than using leverage.
3. In order to make consistent profits in forex trading, you need dedication, lot of time, and discipline

My points (15 years of trading experience) which I think are important:

1. Use StopLoss
2. Let profits run
3. Practice on demo accounts for a longer period of time (min. 3 months) to get a feel for the market or to test strategies
4. Don't go in expecting to make a quick buck
5. Learn from your mistakes and write them down to do better next time
6. Use a broker with stable servers and low costs

Learning to trade is a long and difficult journey. It can take years to find a trading style that suits you.

Love this, i think these points 1-3 can be achieved by having a trading plan and sticking to it. I think it's so key to have your rules set out and in a way it takes the emotional pressure off people's trading

1. Learning and upskilling are the most important parts of a trading career.
2. Do not believe every opinion.
3. You can not just copy and paste a strategy.
4. Trading requires patience and discipline.
5. Set realistic goals.

Firmly agree with all points you have made there. Especially number 3. Something that needs to be made clear to many newer traders.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

All traders need to know what other traders are doing. But it doesn’t mean that your trading decisions must solely be based on what others tell you about. You must do your own analysis to be able to make the right moves.

How do you mean traders need to know what other trader's are doing? im not sure i agree, just for the fact we trade the market not other traders

Good to see such posts coming from experienced traders like you. I totally agree with all your points. It is important to stop comparing yourself with others when it comes to trading. Your competition should be with your past self and not someone else. See how you can become a better version of yourself rather than trying to beat someone else. Just keep learning and growing at your own pace. Focus on work and forget the result will be that one quote that will help you in your journey as a forex trader. Thank you for sharing your experience and valuable thoughts with us.
