Hi Folks,

I just found this informative unbiased weblsite

my goal: to learn HOW to trade

How do I?

I'm told to learn..but learn what?

Books I've read: market wizard series, Trading in the Zone, Naked Trader

Strategies: ORB Tony Crabel, Larry Williams Range Trading, Inside bar trading

My Problem: confused

Stock traders state don't trade forex as it's a mean reversion market

Trading style is based on your personality but what if I don't know my trading personality?

I've PAID for Forex education BUT it just teaches THEORY pattern recognition and Price Action

Why the trend in UK on Forex and nothing on Options Futures trading (my observation)

I've started LIVE trading....every trade goes against me....

Diff schools of thought on trading...owhich methodology? Dow theory? Wyckoff method?


Experienced traders which path do I go down?

I agree with the previous commentator) Maybe you just rushed to open a real account when you need some more time to demo. Different people spend different amounts of time preparing for real risks, from a couple of months to a whole year. It's also cool that you've been trained on babypips, there's good training. Eventually you'll gain experience and will not be so nervous, but on the contrary you'll be more confident in yourself and in your knowledge. Visit more forums, read additional articles about trading, spend a little more time on demo. And of course, don't forget about motivation. It can be hard for everybody, and especially at the beginning, but it isn't a reason to give up ;)

You don't have to overthink too much all this stuff, it certainly won't help. Everybody sometimes has some problems and we lose money. But this experience helps us get better and more experienced over time. So don't think too much about past deals, think about what you can fix in future deals to make you profit.

Do you trade using a plan. If you don't you must formulate a plan for your trades, that really helps one stay on track.
Rest i wish you all the best and stay calm.

Hi there, in the forex world you will find the more you learn the less you know, thats when things get overwelming. Everyone can start to trade knowing the basics but you need to find a strategy that you like and demo or real trade if you have the money to loose for practice sake with small amount untill you are profitable. I would reccomend at least 100 trades and 3 to 6 months trading. The worst thing you can do is strategy hopping, you will loose your mind beleave me. Stick to what works for you.

WOW..... thanks for your support/feeedback

Yes I do keep a trading journal

As you very know very well demo tading and LIVE 2 entirely different

Demo no emotions

Even one of the market Wizards recommends trading live

I see trading as a path to self discovery by finding analysing your faults/mindset/behaviour

Again thanks traders

if your emotion involve during your trading,its meant you trade too much lot.
so if you currently trade 10 lot,lower it down to 5 lot. till you dont feel any emotion with your trade.

2.its better to use simulation backtest, with that you can test new strategy with short period of time.

If you want to trade in the forex market, you have to gather all kinds of knowledge about the market. Because without knowledge you can lose all your money. So gather knowledge before entering into the market.

New traders should learn first before starting their trading career. They an learn all the basics of Forex by creating a demo account. I think, Demo account is the most effective method of learning forex.
