Taking the plunge - Student to Trader

Hi all,

This is my very first post onto this platform. Thank you for all your help so far through the articles and going forward.

My question is basically how did everyone go through the process of reading the books to implementing the strategies live.

I have been through many many resources and am confident my theoretical knowledge of Forex is good. I can identify and describe strategies on paper but cant seem to have that knowledge materialise into any successful trades. I am losing pretty much every single one but am using the skills and strategies I have learned.

I hope this can also help any new trader too.

Thanks,
Harry

Hey Harry. What you’re experiencing is not unusual. We all go through that. We practice with the advantage of hindsight but things look very different as the live market unfolds.

If you know how to advance your historical charts bar by bar, simulating a live market, then practicing on that will allow you to recognize the price patterns as they emerge. Watching the live markets unfold will also help. It’s merely a matter of practice; a lot of it. :smile:

Hey! Well good to hear about your journey so far, but are you demo trading too ? That will help you learn a lot. Once you get a good grip at it, you can shift to live account trading.
