A Few Tips

Discussion in 'Forex' started by T-Bone Trader, Jul 17, 2009.

  1. I've traded forex for a few weeks now and would like new traders to be aware of the following so that they can avoid some of the mistakes I've made:


    - please use more than 10% of your buying power available

    - generate activity reports daily so that you have a good record of trades just in case there is a dispute

    - do not overtrade

    - learn how to navigate your trading platform on a demo before committing real money first

    - make sure that your fx broker is well capitalized

    - if you plan on trading lt timeframes, take small positions and big profits

    - if you plan on trading st timesframes, take small positions and big profits

    - again, do not use too much leverage buying power ! ! ! !

    Good Luck!

    Making money in fx is not impossible but I have to admit it is a bit more difficult than stocks or futures due to the bucketshop business model...

    I'll be out of commission for sometime now but will definitely update the board if I make a significant comeback

    Humble pie tastes very very bad ! ! ! !:(
