The benefits of a demo account is preparing and shaping character. Remember something done over and over again will become habitual. A habit that is done continuously to form characters. And the character that eventually became a lifestyle, especially of a trader.

Factors that are considered while choosing a broker
boltushkin replied to Gee Dee's topic in Forex Newbies
Credibility is arguably the most important factor you have to consider before investing your money with any Forex broker. Best criteria is probably regulation and license and I usually focus on FCA regulated brokers like IB, HFM -
Buying a Forex VPS from a decent company
boltushkin replied to Giftforme's topic in Forex General Discussion
I use beeks fx from HFM it's free since I meet volume requirements not without with the help of VPS since it reduces execution speed considerably -
MT5 is best in my view, I use one from HFM, glad that I upgraded to it from MT4

What is the amount of money you typically invest in trading?
boltushkin replied to Nona_3's topic in Forex General Discussion
Depends on risk, promised returns and reputation of investment firm. For example I invested more than 5K in HFM copytrading because I traded with them for a long time and trust them. Fund managers listed there offer reward with risk in reasonable proportion, like 20% max drawdown and monthly profit of 20-40%. Couldn't find similar offers anywhere else. -
Any news when HFM will introduce no-deposit bonuses? Many of my friends want to try their platform risk free

It is still important price action could be useful when the times is right, sometimes i use it too even well same like you I use fundamental analysis with news from HFM economic calendar as my own main base to reap more profit. I see that major currency pair is easily to predict in most cases, like EURUSD or USDJPY, I seldom find it is hard to analyze the major pairs.
-
Base currency comes first, quote currency is the second, at least this is how it works in my HFM platform. Other brokers can make it different.

For beginners, demo trading accounts like from HFM, offer significant benefits, including risk-free practice and the opportunity to learn how the forex market operates without financial risk. They allow new traders to familiarize themselves with trading platforms, execute trades, and develop and test strategies using virtual funds. A

In trading, my inspiration comes from several sources, but a prominent influence has been watching about the disciplined and analytical approaches of successful traders in HFM webinars. Their ability to navigate market complexities with a combination of intuition, rigorous analysis, and strong risk management principles has been particularly motivating. Additionally, engaging with a community of traders and learning from both their successes and challenges has continually inspired me to refine my strategies and maintain a disciplined mindset.

BeeksFx is better in my view and one great thing about them that some brokers like HFM offer it free you meet their turnover requirements
-
I also noticed that their trading conditions improved, maybe they connected more liquidity providers or smth similar.

No deposit bonuses like from HFM are promotional offers from brokers that allow you to start trading without depositing your own money. They can provide an opportunity to test the broker’s platform and trading conditions with real funds. However, these bonuses often come with strict terms and conditions, such as high withdrawal requirements or limitations on trading strategies, so it's crucial to read the fine print before accepting such offers.

One of the biggest mistakes in forex trading is overleveraging, where traders use excessive leverage to amplify their position sizes beyond their capital limits. This increases the risk of significant losses, as even a small adverse market movement can wipe out a large portion of the account balance. Proper risk management and understanding the dangers of high leverage are crucial to avoid this common pitfall.

Hedging a Substitute of Stop Loss
boltushkin replied to ellliottt's topic in Forex Development Technique
Hedging is not a direct substitute for a stop loss but can complement it. Sometimes it help me to reduce loss trading with HFM. While a stop loss aims to limit losses on a specific trade by automatically closing it at a predefined level, hedging involves taking an offsetting position to protect against adverse market movements. Hedging can reduce risk in certain scenarios, but it might also limit potential profits and add complexity to risk management. -
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) in Forex is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in a currency pair. Values above 70 suggest the asset may be overbought, while values below 30 indicate it may be oversold, helping traders make decisions about potential trend reversals.

One of the best MetaTrader EAs for forex trading, in my view, is the Forex Fury. I use it with HFM. It has a solid track record, is user-friendly, and supports multiple currency pairs. Additionally, it offers advanced settings for risk management and customization to suit different trading strategies.
-
Achieving decent return per month in trading, like 30%, is possible but highly challenging and risky. Such high returns typically involve significant leverage and exposure to volatile markets, which can lead to substantial losses. Consistent long-term success at this rate is rare, and it's crucial to prioritize risk management and realistic expectations to sustain profitable trading over time.

Factors that are considered while choosing a broker
boltushkin replied to Gee Dee's topic in Forex Newbies
Key factors are live spreads, execution speed and license. Also you can check if support is ready to help you and knows what you do because it will help you in the future when problems arise. Basically this is how I found and selected HFM in the vast ocean of offers. -
MetaTrader 4 is an excellent trading platform for forex, offering both manual trading and scripting for automated trading through expert advisors (EAs). Its flexibility allows traders to customize and adjust parameters based on market conditions, but it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the market and the ability to fine-tune EAs to achieve consistent profitability.
-
I used no-deposit bonus from HFM when it was available but now they left only credit bonuses which is very useful for news trading. I guess they removed their options because of abuse by dishonest traders.
-
I would vote for BeeksFx because it is very fast and tailored for FX also I get it free by promotion from HFM that's why consider it a top choice

A scalper is a trader who aims to profit from small price movements by executing a large number of trades within a short period, typically holding positions for only a few seconds to minutes. Scalpers rely on high-speed execution and tight spreads to capitalize on small price fluctuations, aiming to accumulate profits over numerous trades throughout the trading session.
