Aremolekunowo:
Almost 2 years ago now I jammed one of those acclaimed guru with interesting results nice profits. He claimed to have been trading forex since 2006 we got talking and became somehow close he begging me to give him my account to trade and share profits together I foolishly agreed gave him my hfm live accout 250usd. This guy blew the account in just 9 days, he apologise and blame news and Asian usa conflicts.
He encouraged me and guides me to open synthetic account with deriv he said he is an expert in that one and news does not affect it went through the process open the account I was making little little profits he ask to run the Account so we can make big money I also gave him and he blew the synthetic in just 6 days, this mam opened over 20 positions on different volatility and jump.
Another silly mistakes I made in this journey was following and paying for signals especially all this Asians posing big profits online not knowing they are all fake profits simulations I may still list there names here so that anyone will not fall prey like me.
There is a particular popular one that use to make big noise on all social media space I paid 230usd they claim to have at least 90% winning rate they ended up blowing my account with there signals. One acclaim gold master guru o paid 70pm also successfully blow my account with his gold signals
Now this is my chosen ways of Trading now.
1. Risk management 35 pips max sl on trades
2 . Cutloss at the change of trend from my direction
3. Rrr 1:2:3
4.Risk per trade 0.15 to 0.55% max
5. Profits trailing on a good trending market .
With these one is becoming better day by day. Pls new traders stay from online signals groups they will damage your account and your emotions.except u are in a good trading community where ideas and trades are shared together stay away from all these people expecially the Asians pakistan and Indians signals group.

You don see shege but on a bright side you gain experience to stick to your own doing.paying for knowledge or mentorship is not bad if you get a mentor with good track record but paying for signal is a big taboo coz nobody ever get rich with signal.imagine you checking your phone every minute to see if admin don post signal.well we all will be okay last last

This is why I don't like equity base drawdown.this trade enter 17k profit while I was waiting for 20k full tP but the trade reverse to 9k profit.just going through my email now to see I have received breach message.well if you do swing trade avoid equity base drawdown account.go for balanced base drawdown coz swing trade go up and down.

Yes mexc is good also.they even offer more leverage on some alt more than binance.
On your second question do you know how to analyse chart generally.if yes you can do it coz chart is just a chart either crypto,Forex, stock and indices.but if you don't know how to analyse chart stay away from trading until you know how to.

Never you trade until you know how to trade and do position sizing correctly.

Ok thanks for your input, so my question now is how to learn how to analyse charts, I have watched YouTube videos until I got tired,I don't know what else to do, any recommendations or help, I would really appreciate it πŸ™πŸ™

Option 1) Continue watching those YouTube videos and try to practice what you learn on YouTube with small money or demo until you get what works for you.
Options 2) save up money and find a mentor that we show you things and tell you to stick to one strategy with good risk management coz nothing really work.

Rest. Not every day is a trading day. Give yourself some time or the Ls will turn to a streak if not already.

Am not on any lossing streak
Just speaking about loss on my previous post.
I have winning as well this week.
This btc trade is a miss entry not a loss.
As long as I see what I need to see or market present the type of setup I trade am taking it and it doesn't matter whether it present it everyday or once a week.

Thanks for the input

That reminds me...based on your own experience and what you've seen so far....which do you think is the hardest between trading forex and trading crypto?

Crypto future is hard cuz btc control everything.e.g your analysis on inj,dydx,sol maybe good and market is going in your direction but because of sudden dump/pump on btc can rubish your analysis on alt but on Forex dollar pairs, JPY pair,CHF pair even indices move in one direction.people often says news affect Forex but if you know how to trade.news helps to push market to your entry or to faster.
That's why I mostly trade btc and eth when I want to trade crypto.
