Even if you have studied hard, that is no guarantee of success. Almost everyone fail here at fx

Forex can be quite profitable, if you have a good strategy and you're willing and able to follow it closely.

Totally agree! We study hard, and we are just trying to make our " possibility " of earning profits more and more.
About possibility, it represents " risk ". When it happens, it just happened, no matter how many possibilities it showed you before.

Forex is profitable for those who are passionate in trading and they indeed manage A to Z in their trading life. Else time, effort and money are wasted for those who take Forex as "Richer machine" (never realizing that it's poverty machine for them).
Passion matters the most.

On my opinion, 2 factors have to be fully complied to be successful in trading:
1- FLY LOW: personally, I don't gain much with Forex (on current month of August I'm in pair) but I currently do not expect fantastic outcomes from it, a monthly +5% should be the target to be hit to be happy - definitively not a daily +500%!
2-CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS: place your order then... forget about it. Let it work, keep the gain or stop the loss.
I am aware that the above 2 points are easy to be told but difficult to be followed. Anyway, these are key factors I personally try to be stuck at.

I strongly agree with point 1. So many people want to make 1000% every day but that is BS. 0-10% a month is awesome, many pro traders would give their right arm for such figures

Why is it that traders are not saying anything about trading stocks on mt4.
There are few things I do not understand thou. Its how lot sizes and how pip value is calculated for stocks and indices, if it even called "pip". I dont even know where to start looking for this on the internet because there is not lo of websites talking about stocks and indices trading.

I really agree with you; 10% is a decent monthly return; that means end of the year 120% monthly return; it’s quite enough.
keeping patience.......

Little correction here if you earn 10% monthly then your return at the year end will be 214% not 120% due to effect of compounding if you reinvest all your monthly profits. But it is still really hard to earn 10% monthly consistently for long periods of time.
The market will trade through it’s path of least resistance .

Forex trading can be profitable avenue for only those people who have the zeal inside them to work hard through out the day. I say this because your success in forex can be greatly impacted by the quality of your forex education. So need to spend adequate time and efforts there. Moreover you should be prepared for any setbacks and losses, both mentally and in terms of tackling them through effective strategies. Maintain a trading journal, don't indulge in revenge trading and most of all keep a balanced and grounded mind. It is important not just to make money but to keep it also

Ok, let's add a 3rd point to my 2 above: CONSTANTLY WITHDRAW MONEY. Why leaving it there? Money in Forex is money at risk, each month can last one in profit. So, don't suppose you'll realize +10% every month and pick interests regularly, or at least a part of them.

Though I'm new here, but I've been trading for years. I've heard enough that more risk produces more income. But it'd be best if you add it with the another perspective: No pain no gain. That's where I've been. Mixture of risk and pain is a real good teacher.

Please note that withdrawing money is also a method to avoid risk.
I heard there are some brokers would function normally at the beginning. Later, the problems would come out one after another, even they would try to hinder you from withdrawing. So it becomes that you earn money but you can't take it
