1. It does not need to be perfect or the best system in the world. Good systems are usually straightforward and will produce about 60% to 80% profitable trades. So you should make regular profits. Some trades go bad. 2. Take Time Out
Live currency trading is an entrancing business and it’s straightforward to spend about all of your life in front of the PC, especially as a newbie. To some extent this is natural ( say, the 1st 2-3 weeks ) but after that you would like to ensure that you also have a real life, or else you will have burnout. Lots of time spent gazing at charts or skimming forums can end up in bad trades or giving up when it doesn’t make you lots overnight. For a noob foreign exchange trading, the best approach is to see this as a business and spend enough but not that much time on it.
