Great advice. I too, though, would say that there’s no need to stick to MT4 alone, there are plenty of platforms one can choose from, depending on what they need.

Precisely! There are also pure market research platforms that could be used as well in addition to support analysis, if the selected trading platform lacks capabilities. 😄

I've been learning all I can and practiced on demo for a year & half. I wanted to develop a strategy that works for me using as few indicators as possible. I ran 3 demo accounts into the ground before I was able to become profitable in demo for several months. I went live last week, and I feel optimistic. I met my goal for my first week. I'm hoping it will continue.

After 1.5 years I see it is still hot enough to cut it 😉
Why would you like to use very few indicators?
Good luck in your live trading and keep up the good start!

Understanding the very basics of candle movements is the best start. Why is the candle turns bullish or bearish? How does it move? Who move the prices? If u get the basics right, u don't need indicators to trade. Trading in demo is totally different from live account. It lacks the emotions that comes with trading your own money. The key lesson is money management. Get this right and your fundamentals right, you will a be a successful trader.

Nope.
You need to learn the way to trade which suits to you.
This is not necessary candles...

Investors have a troubling trait i.e. the more vagueness we face, the more anxious we get. The uncertainty of world event scares us. We have desire for somebody to make sense of it. However, no one can predict future. We are usually attracted to experts who claims what lies ahead for the economy & the market. Expert portfolios generally do not beat the market on a risk adjusted basis during the period of study. Holding this portfolio assists one to minimise the unnecessary risk which is not likely rewarded as a simple market index which has a diversified portfolio as a better option.

I guess it takes a lot to become an expert in forex. You ought to be disciplined and patient and follow a proper trading plan to emerge as a successful trader. A clear mindset and thorough research can help you manage your risks and boost your earnings. Also one should learn to accept losses in forex. Some days you gain, some days you lose! But you learn constantly. Be consistent but do not overtrade. It surely is a hard win success but if you go by the forex rules, you can surely be an expert in forex.

Aprenda a adaptarse rápidamente a los cambios. Si el lado 'ganador' está cambiando, no dude en modificar su estrategia inicial al lado del éxito. No se obsesione con ninguna transacción. 😄

The size of the position tells us how much you will risk throughout the operation.
You will achieve your goals through your strategy to determine the size of the position. In fact, 90% of your performance is due to the size of your position, so you should spend more time planning your position-size strategy than any other aspect of your system.

Of course, we must learn from our mistakes. Good point!.

Not always is won nor always lost. We must bear in mind that it is a market of probabilities and unexpected movements and that, possibly, if we invest in Forex we will lose a percentage. The thing to avoid is that profits, after all, exceed that percentage of losses.

Consider diversifying your portfolio.

Forex (foreign exchange) is one of the instruments you can consider to balance your investment portfolio. Trading on Forex does not fit all investors, so if you are interested in putting a very strong part of your financial resources within the Forex market be fully aware and warning of the risks and rewards that entails doing so because it is not recommended Invest everything. The same applies if you are going to manage your investment, diversify your risk by not putting all your faith in a trade because diversification is the key; No matter what financial instrument you are investing.

Hello,
There are perhaps many, many tips how to become or how to be successful trader and many traders just either copy/ paste or just say what they hear, but the question is 'how many of those tips are really followed?' :)

Be sure that if you really love trading, you should also love reading. Reading and monitoring the movement of the market can really help you in trading. I have find this Global Market Update (https://www.funds-money.com/) very helpful especially if you are really on the process of reading about commodities, stock and forex.
