Yes, exactly
Thanks, good incite
I’ve been trading since 2007, and all of the replies to this thread are just good common sense, but not one of them will make a difference unless you follow the number one rule…the hardest rule of all to follow.
The number one rule is patience.
Not much point having a rules-based entry strategy if you jump in early, and not much point setting a take profit if you’re not going to wait for it to trigger. Tell me you are not guilty of this?
my golden rules include:
- patience ( as mentioned above)
- having faith in my tested strategies
- not being greedy, I’ve set a time period in which i trade and shut the laptop down after that and give time to my family.
My forex trading rule of the thumb is to start with a demo account before trading on a real account. It is easier for a beginner to trade on demo since you’ll feel no risk. You use virtual money to get an experience of how trading works
