When to enter a trade?

its a nice suggestion , only pips school cannot learn you more. spent a lot of time besides this on others , Forex.com also can supports you to learn more. and then trade a demo . but not at random.

When you answer that question, you are half way to your fortune. :slight_smile:

Then you will just need is knowledge of “When to exit”

Where to enter trade is only a key question if you’re trading very short time-frames. If you’re planning to hold multi-day positions its more important to identify the right targets and the best places to get out, not in.

In my opinion the Babypips school here is one of the best sources as many other people would agree. I recommend you to check it if you haven’t done that already. There are a lot of free video tutorials and books in the web as well. And of course the forum, you could find a lot of threads which could help you with your question. Here are some examples:








You suggested so many sectors for learning. It’s okay. I appreciate. But I think if newcomer goes through preschool level completely, of course they are ready to move live account. But practically I have seen they just finished preschool level very shortly and move demo or live trading. Minimum 2 – 3 times is needed to finish pips school. It would be better.

Tuesday’s are good for entering trades. My best trades are entered on a Tuesday.

Sounds a bit silly I know, but Monday’s are usually quiet then it’s like by Tuesday the market has decided which way it will head that week.

True fact. In order to me, beginners have to pass minimum for 1 year to learn real market principle which can make them profitable in live. But they passed a very short time in demo or preschool level. As a result they don’t get the result they expected.

Criss, I just want to say about your reply the more you get the more you learn.

1 year is more appropriate. But the reality is they are not able to keep patience within a long time. When I was a newbie I have passed just 3 month in demo and school level then has started a micro account. Actually we the newcomers first of all go through our learning approach minimum for 2-3 times. Time is not a big deal in here.

Yea Tuesdays - Thursdays are the prime days to trade throughout the week.

Also new here, and learning about forex. And now reading all replies on this topic. Hoping to learn more from here. I found that we can’t lead our lives without struggling. From beginning to end hah.

Yea, unfortunately we all have to go through struggles in life in order to get to the main prize. The same concept applies with forex

Yes, there is no way to struggle at any sector even Forex market. I appreciate greatly your learning attitude. You can move on other communities that can increase your knowledge leveler very rapidly.

The easy way to find right entry is practice it can be on demo or micro accounts. I prefer micro accounts where you learn to manage your own amount. Then your emotional and trading psychology also is like a real trader. . right entry in market wants a big struggle , It seems good when one enter according to his analysis.

Micro account sometimes works really for acquiring live trading experience, but the problem is micro account can make beginner greedy , because they are not able to control their emotions level due to lack of experience. And the demo is always great but we practically don’t believe the importance of this trading place at all.

Absolutely not. There is no chance in micro account which can make beginners greedy because in micro account on one can trade with a big lot. This possibility can be in a large deposit. That’s why experience traders always suggest not trading for beginner’s level with grand amount.

Well, I am also interested in BB, by the way, may I know the parameters of your BB?

I use only support and resistance levels (not lines) to identify possible market entry points. After that I wait for levels breakouts and search for a trade opportunity in this direction (breakout or pullback after the correction wave formation)

In my demo session I was profitable with BB but when I have kicked off live account didn’t the result that was continue in demo. Surprised really.

Very sad! By the way, how many months did you practiced your demo (with BB)?
