Hmmm. 
I’ve tried a couple of strategies and I think one of my favorite ones is the HLHB system. 
If you wanna try it out, here HLHB Trend-Catcher System Explained - BabyPips.com 
Love this, risk first then profit
Ask me how bad over trading can be. It was only after I blew my first account with IC Markets that I realized and worked on my risk management strategy.
Quote from Tom Hougaard.
We should not trade under false assumptions for if we think most everyone wins in trading, our behavior is going to be based on winning protection rather than losing
protection.
Managing the risks associated with overtrading begins with a well structured trading plan. No matter what your experience level is, whether a beginner or an experienced trader, you do need a trading plan in line. Once you have a blueprint in hand, it’ll be easier for you to assess whether or not you’re overtrading.
This is very true. Always consider the risk and reward ratio to maximum 2% or 3% for the most of your trading. And yes, a sounding plan is very important aspect here.
This I’m aware about, but what confuses me is the difference between calculating the risk per trade and working out the risk-reward ratio.
I just use trading view, don’t use indicators personally. I trade Smart Money Concepts.
It’s a personal choice when choosing how much you’re willing to risk. It can be either 1% or 10%. But, if you’re planning to go with the 2nd option, remember that it’ll take only 5 wrong trades to lose 50% of your trading capital. With turnkey forex, I risk 3% of my trading account to be on the safer side and with fxtm, I go a bit more, 5% just to experiment with the strategies and indicators.
he only strategy that I focus on while trading forex is to buy a currency pair at a low price and sell it at a higher price. But it is not as simple as said. It takes a lot of market analysis and research to understand what price is the best buy and best sell because what we see is not always what it is in reality.
I have tried several readymade strategies from the market but they don’t always work. It’s fine to start with them but when you are trying to actually make some bucks, you must go for building your own strategy so that it caters to your trading requirements and you can get the expected results.
