all points are good but from all, I mostly liked number 8. Learning from mistakes is a really important task, but if we do the same mistake again and again, there is no way to come out from losses at all.

I have to say if I do not commit to number 2 i am gonna go belly-up soon.

Learn how to develop a ZEN mindset, which, while accepting emotional challenges, does not respond to what the market throws at you, because the only control you have is your risk exposure.

Thanks for sharing ten rules. I appreciate taking low trading risk because I think it’s the weapon of survival in this market.

Yes brother, a good plan is impossible to be made without following money management. But this practice is rare in traders.

While all the factors mentioned in the text are important for successful forex trading, I would like to respectfully disagree with one point. The statement “Avoid trading during times of high volatility or low liquidity, such as major news releases or holidays” may not be entirely accurate for all traders. Some traders specifically focus on trading during high-impact news events and volatile market conditions to take advantage of potential price movements. It’s important for traders to assess their own risk tolerance and trading strategies before deciding whether or not to trade during volatile market conditions.

You make a valid point that some traders may specifically focus on trading during high-impact news events and volatile market conditions, and this can be a viable strategy for those who are experienced and have a high risk tolerance.

However, it’s important to note that trading during periods of high volatility or low liquidity can also carry a higher risk of losses due to the unpredictability of the market. Traders who are new to the forex market or who have a lower risk tolerance may find it more beneficial to avoid trading during such times.

Ultimately, the decision to trade during periods of high volatility or low liquidity should be based on each trader’s individual risk tolerance and trading strategy. Traders should carefully assess their own risk management practices and market analysis techniques before deciding whether or not to trade during volatile market conditions. It’s important to keep in mind that successful trading requires a combination of knowledge, discipline, and risk management, and traders should always prioritize the preservation of their trading capital.

Reading these rules is easier but hard to follow them in reality. But those who follow these rules can earn moderate profit ultimately.
