* Have a financial management strategy (money management). This is related to how long you are trading in a month, how you account resistance level of risk loss, when the attraction of funds, when adding funds, and allocation of income to savings, investment and consumption.
2. Make the trend as your best friend (Trend Follower).

Do not allow your capital to be $ 0.0. If you loss, try to keep 10 to 50% of your capital, so that when the time comes to add funds or inject, Dollar that deposited not too big. Imagine if you had to add a large fund due to loss in Forex trading.
If in two or three trades already spent 20 – 40% of the capital due to loss, stop for a moment. Hold yourself to open new positions. Do not obey yourself to “get even” or “want return on investment”. Try to calm your mind and your head. Arrange your trading system back in the Demo Account. Spend time 3 days – 1 week to try trading system in the Demo Account.
