Ohhh Psicology! The hardest part to learn!
My humble advice for new traders is to start with little money... bc the only way to learn how to handle your emotions and be disciplined is by blowing up a couple of accounts (and you probably will!). Its not the same with demo account, when real money is on the line and when it hurst is when you really learn. FX is marketed as an easy way to get rich overnight but it seems that the mayority of traders, especially newbies loose money.
So be disciplined and dont get greedy when you have a long winning strike! Thats what kills account. Keep your leverage low and you will be able to go to sleep at night with a loosing position opened.
Good trading!

Psychological condition depends from trader to trader, everyone has a different approach towards trading, but as you spend time in the market you make more matured decisions.
Unfortunately reigning in your emotions is usually one of the hardest things to learn about Forex trading. You can learn the theory, you can even learn how to apply it in practise, but if your judgement is clowded by greed or fear you still will struggle to make a profit.

Timeframes simply need to match the personality of the trader. If they reflect your emotional status - all fine. If you feel comfortable with M1 charts - trade on them. When it comes to stop losses, I would mention that a trailing stop could work even better.

How reliable are the signals on the 1-minute frame though?
if you plan to stay in the market for even less time, they should be reliable 😉

Good points Martin! I agree with you 😄

I try different indicators and when all are presenting the same signal I open my position! sometimes the indicators show different signs so I just wait! 😀
Very good advice! I always try to do the same. What indicators do you use for identifying the signals and make the decision?

You're right. In the end what matters the most is what strategy fits the individual trader. If something is profitable for you, by all means, stick to it.
