Hi guys, I'm afraid there is no best strategy that fits everyone's needs. Trading microlots is a wise approach if you are new to trading. But you will need to be very patient as you won't be earning a lot per trade. What is your style - intraday or swing?

for newcomers Demo trading is really important , but mostly traders don’t believe the importance of this trading place at all , so it would be better if we use mini account instead of demo account.
To change your trading result, just change your thinking.

It's hard to give advice to new traders when you don't know what level of trading experience and trading knowledge they have. But I can tell you what worked or me 7 years ago.
Many new traders tend to trade the smaller time frames like 1 to 15 minutes, because that's where all the "excitement" is. Problem is, if you don't know what you're doing trading these time-frames you usually try and take profits quickly and sit with losing trades far too long. That's what I struggled with in the beginning. Take profits way too soon and not get out of loosing trades quick enough.
Eventually I learned that I need to look for trade setups on the higher time-frames. 30 mins if I trade intra-day and 4-hour or daily for swing trading. Best advice, based on personal experience, is to look for trade setups in the direction of the longer time-frame trend (Daily and up) on the 1-hour or 4-hour charts, and look for these setups near key Daily support/resistance levels.
Patience is key on a micro account. Choose your trade setups carefully. Don't force trades.

I like to look at price action myself. I look at the Forex market like a hug rubberband. Usually when price spikes in one direction it will retrace to the opposite direction at least 60%-70% on average. The hardest thing to do is wait fo those spikes.

Another option is to use EA instead to wait for such spikes :).
If I am not mistaken there were a similar strategy "power candle" if I am not mistaken.

This strategy sounds interesting and 'do-able'. Would you buy an upwards spike or sell the upwards spike ?
