-
A Forex strategy must align with your trading profile and risk appetite.
-
Forex strategies tend to be more effective when focused on a few currency pairs rather than the entire market.

Basic Money Management
-
Always include basic money management, which means using (i) a stop-loss (either simple or trailing) and (ii) a take-profit order.
-
Adjust your stop-loss and take-profit levels based on key support and resistance areas and your chosen timeframe.
-
Use leverage wisely, keeping in mind that high leverage can be disastrous, especially for beginners. Remember, leverage increases both your risk and trading costs.
-
Evaluate your trading strategy’s performance over the long term, avoiding overreaction to short-term gains or losses.
