The best forex traders hone their skills through practice and discipline. Here are eight tricks that can help the novice and seasoned professional alike develop their craft.
Number 1, define your goals. To know what you want to achieve, you have to know if your trading methods are conducive to your goal. Make sure your trading style fits your risk profile.
Number 2, choose a broker who offers a trading platform with the analysis you want. Spend the time needed to research a broker’s practices and policies.
Number 3, choose a methodology, and be consistent. Whether you choose fundamental or technical analysis, remember to stick with it, and be ready to adapt to market changes.
Number 4, keep your timing in sync. Synchronize charts to avoid the confusion of different time frames. If the weekly chart gives you a buy signal, confirm it with the daily chart.
Number 5, calculate your expectancy, which is the formula that shows the reliability of your system

Too old post to share something, but what I can say about Forex is that it is not an easy busy business. You have to have skills and knowledge to be part of this business. Your skills are going the only way you are going to survive.

Yet some of the newbie thinks trading is like pushing buttons and making money whereas it is not like that as it involves a lot of efforts learning the skills which are required to analyze the market and thus earning money from the market.

My favorite trick is to use trailing stop loss in trending markets, though it is difficult to identify trends, when you manage to do that you great increase expected return while keeping risk the same as in the case of fixed stop loss and take profit settings.

Here are some of which I try to do religiously in my hfm trades:

Develop a trading plan: Before entering the market, create a clear trading plan that outlines your goals, risk tolerance, and trading strategy. This will help you stay focused and disciplined, and avoid impulsive trading decisions.

Manage your risk: Effective risk management is essential in forex trading. Use stop-loss orders to limit your losses and consider using position sizing techniques to ensure that you don't risk more than you can afford to lose.

Stay up-to-date on market news and events: Stay informed about economic and political developments that could affect the forex market. This will help you anticipate market movements and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.

Practice good money management: Avoid overtrading and don't risk more than 2-3% of your account balance on any single trade. Also, consider diversifying your portfolio and using multiple currency pairs to spread your risk.

Keep a trading journal: Keeping a record of your trades and analyzing your performance can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses as a trader. This will allow you to refine your approach and improve your trading results over time.

My favorite trick is to achieve first a streak of bad trades on demo account and then place the trade on live account which has a higher chances to be profitable since markets often exhibit mean-reversion property. So if 4-5 trades on trend reversal were bad, chances rise that the next trade will be in profit.

I guess we should learn forex trading first and then trade the demo account for some before jumping to live trading account. When trading live we should only focus on one trading session and i prefer trading either London or New York for better results.

My latest trick... After successfully live trading forex for years, switch to trading futures in the U.S. Chicago Mercantile Exchanges. Futures spreads are generally 1 or 2 ticks with no swaps, and data fees and commission fees are fixed. As a caveat, leverage changes throughout every day based on international sessions, so this is not for small accounts.

    • Date: 2nd January 2025. The USD Retraces But Can The AUDUSD Correct To 0.62320?   The AUDUSD trades at a 27-month low as the Australian Dollar struggled to maintain momentum in December and the Dollar has risen since the US elections. However, the Australian Dollar is increasing in value during this morning’s Asian Session due to positive Chinese Manufacturing data. Will the AUDUSD hold its bullish momentum to the mean (0.62340) of the most recent price range? AUDUSD - The Australian Dollar continues to struggle for sustained momentum! The primary reason for the increase in the Australian Dollar is the positive Manufacturing Data from China. The performance of China is known to be closely linked to the performance of Asian currencies such as the JPY but also the AUD and NZD. The Australian Dollar is the best performing currency of the day and is increasing in value against all currencies except against the JPY where it moves sideways.   The US Dollar on the other hand is performing relatively poorly, and is retracing after yesterday’s gains. However, traders should note that the bearish price movement is relatively weak compared to the recent Dollar trend. The US Dollar Index rose in value for 4 consecutive weeks before retracing this morning. Therefore traders need to be cautious that the Dollar potentially may regain momentum. However, if the Dollar continues to decline a potential target may be seen at the average price of the previous range. The previous range formed between the 19th to the 30th December with an average price of 0.62320. The US Dollar Index reached its highest level since November 6th, 2022 Experts anticipate that Trump will reinforce protectionist policies, potentially reigniting active trade wars as he has done in the past. He previously announced plans to raise import tariffs on goods from China, Mexico, and Canada, while excluding European imports. Shifts in foreign trade are also expected to influence the US Federal Reserve's rhetoric. The December median interest rate forecasts indicate only two 25 basis point cuts in 2025, with any easing of policy not expected to begin before June. The hawkish Federal Reserve is able to support the US Dollar in the longer term and potentially tariffs may trigger a lower risk sentiment. The lower risk sentiment also may trigger a higher demand for the US Dollar. However, this would depend on the upcoming Trump policies. In the short-term, the US Dollar will also be influenced by this afternoon’s US Weekly Unemployment Claims release and the Final Manufacturing PMI. However, higher volatility is not likely to return until tomorrow’s trading sessions. AUDUSD - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the price of the AUDUSD is trading within a retracement of the day’s impulse wave. However, the price continues to remain at a lower high and lower low. In addition to this, the AUDUSD is also trading below the main Moving Averages and below the neutral level on most oscillators. Therefore, if bullish momentum is regained, traders potentially may focus on a correction to 0.62320 at first. If the price rises above 0.62142, the price will see stronger signals indicating a correction to this level.   Conclusion: The US Dollar Index rose to its highest price since November 6th 2022 before the markets closed for New Years Day. The Australian Dollar is the top-performing currency in this morning's Asian session, recovering from its decline in December. Positive Chinese Manufacturing data boosts Asian currencies including the AUD, NZD If the price rises above 0.62142, it will signal a stronger correction to this level.
