Hmmmmm….sounds like a bug to me 🙂

Yes, one of the limitations of MT.

Hi Sandra,

OK, this is what every trader goes through, you are not alone. Here are the basic steps that you have to follow:

1. Figure out your Trading Personality. This blog post will help you do that: https://www.tradingheroes.com/own-your-trading-personality/
2. If you are primarily a technical trader then pick a system that matches your Trading Personality and backtest it until you get a result that you are happy with. Here’s the backtesting guide: https://www.tradingheroes.com/forex-backtesting-guide/
3. If you are primarily a fundamental trader or you have a backtested technical system that you like, then it’s time to forward test in a demo account. Here’s the guide for that: https://www.tradingheroes.com/forex-forward-testing-guide/
4. Next, you will need to start working on your mindset. Almost every trader I have met has had to work on their mindset. This is different for everyone, but be aware that this is your most important trading tool. It will literally determine your success or failure.
5. If your system works well in demo, then it’s up to you if you want to start trading with real money.

Hope that helps and let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Hugh
