What’s your R:R (risk/reward) ?
Well you have to build a strategy or your just pretty much gambling.
Ask yourself this :
For example what are the reasons you place a trade at a certain entry point is an excellent question to constantly ask yourself when your trading. Why did you set up your SL/TP at these points as well would be a follow up question. Why am I trading this pair? Which time frame out of the 3 am I actually placing the trades on and why? How do you use the other 2 time frames to incorporate and define a direction of a pair? More importantly I want you to question yourself on why you’re placing your trades that’s the only way you’ll improve/build a system of your own. What makes you believe a pair will go up (long) or go down (short).

Consider extending your holding period and tightening your take-profit targets.
Can’t answer questions better without more information.

@momoisnyc I do risk 0.01 to 0.05cent and I do place my trade mostly on the 15m chart if the chart correspond with d 1h and 4h chart
"What makes you believe a pair will go up (long) or go down (short)."
I used mostly the indicators to see this
If in demo still often facing with mistake analysis, I think it’s mean not yet ready to start with a real account, keep the practice in demo account while learning about certain system trading and strategy. the demo account will useful to learn and finding suitable system trading if already found good system trading keep use one system and don’t changed because no perfect system trading to due market condition easily to change
@bearish thanks mate
how about to to set up my own trading plan and trading system can you throw me some light on this please
this is great, and how everyone starts out! keep at it at the demos until you feel confident to go live 
Maybe try the school of pipsology and try and learn the markets a bit more

Holding period is the duration you hold a position you purchased before selling it. Tightening take-profit limit or target is done by submitting a price closer to the spot you got it at to automatically sell a bought position (gaining capital from the difference in price) in the order menu.

thats why you shouldn’t be trading on a demo account
the purpose of trading on a demo account is to gain some experience putting the theory into practice
but you don’t yet have any theory to put into practice
yes, that’s what will happen
that’s because without having any strategy, your outcomes are random, so sometimes you’ll win and sometimes you’ll lose
i’d say, reading your posts, that at the moment you’re (at least) several months away from being to benefit by trading with a demo account
@flamingoproxy what do you mean here mate I don’t really get the English

I think so too, he should register there. That could be of great help to him, as I sense that he hasn’t really learned much in the market.
The school is brilliant I think everyone should use it before starting trading to be honest
I agree, and I can honestly say that it is widely known all over. It has a lot of traders who go there.

Is not it too early to think of earning profit? Yes, there is no argument on the fact that every one wants to get some profit. But trying to earn profit in hasty period can make you destructed from your main thinking of education. Rather give emphasize on how well you can acquire basic understanding of trading here.
It’s just so helpful.
You can make big moves while demo trading, like start a live account with small capital you can afford to lose. Or use the Forexchief $100 free startup money without verification. You can use this to try out what trading real account looks like.
