Ultimately RISK MANAGEMENT is the only thing we can control.

First thing I lock in? Emotional control and risk management, no point trading if your head ainât right.

I agree, risk management and controlling the emotions is the first thing any trader should look into.

Small details will make a difference! Try to remain objective as much as you can, donât try to involve hope. Donât place trades just from fear, hope.

If youâre just starting out, keep it simple and focus on learning first. Itâs easy to get overwhelmed by all the strategies, indicators, and market noise. Pick one approach, test it, and understand why it works before jumping to the next thing.

You share that belief with every experienced or successful trader Iâve ever known.
And with everyone whoâs ever worked for a broker, obviously.
It was a good thread, when it started. It could have helped people.
Unfortunately the fact that 4 of the last 5 posts above this one were made by bots has devalued it hugely, and turned it into yet another ânormal Babypips threadâ. Always a shame, when that happens. So easily correctable, youâd think? But apparently not. The forum deserves better.

Watch Me Trade $10 to $15 000 In Exactly 3 Hours Using This Strategy For Growing Small Forex Account
One of my greatest errors was consuming material like this and thinking I could achieve the same results. Regardless if itâs true or not, I needed to understand that I am not him and he is not me. I had to develop my own strategy and carve out my own niche.

Develop your own strategy, trust your intuition
DONT demo trade, use real money, but trade really small amounts
And trade, trade, trade
Trading rewards the experienced and takes money from the inexperienced
So get experience, as quickly and as much as you can by trading real money
Trial and error till you find something that works
You will lose money, itâs okay, because you will learn from the pain

Oh, and this worked for me. Start with a really small account, like $100
Try to build it with small trades. If you havenât blown the account after a month, then add another $100
Keep adding $100 monthly
Or even better, add $100 every time you grow the account by 10%
Raise your lot sizes as your account grows
The experience I gained from doing this was immeasurable, worth far more than any friggin demo account
You will blow an account, maybe many, but you only lost $100 and you will gain a treasure load of practical experience, confidence and discipline
And who knows, maybe youâll grow the account into something really significant

Not even after a streak of a million wins think your next trade will certainly hit TP, this can make you quit trading!
Great tip. Mine would be: Stick to risk managementâprotecting your capital is just as important as making profits!

Not quite.
You also lost the opportunity to learn anything much, because âstarting hugely underfundedâ prevented that.

Start young and try every strategy and every variable of that and each strategy until ( 15 years later ) you are about 80 percent right .

Donât learn to trade alone - interact with people! 
Keep a detailed Journal ANDâŚReread it often
I got a hold of some social media influencer FX accounts to see how they make money doing 1:3 type of trades⌠every one of them actually averages 0.6-0.8:1⌠Very different than they preach.
My biggest tip: Question everything.
