In simple terms, there is no forex trading without risks. So, either don’t trade at all or prepare yourself for losses at every step you take in the forex market. The market is a little tough to understand and so, know that losses would also be common.
I prefer trading EUR/USD. Although it is a volatile pair, it provides good liquidity and tighter spreads. Moreover this pair is easy to analyse and trade.
Obviously, spreads, commission and timely withdrawals would be the criteria not just for me but for many traders. I am using turnkey forex which fit with my criteria, as of today, trading has been quite pleasant with them. Does someone have any other criteria for choosing a broker, would love to...

Reaching consistency in your trading career is the highest level any trader will ever reach in his career. This makes it clear how difficult it would be for someone to take the chance of putting his money at risk. Just be careful about every move you make and analyse the market well before...

In the beginning, it felt like I was wasting my time on demo trading because it was boring and there was nothing new that I was learning. But after I went live, I realised that if I had not practised on my demo account, I would not have been able to make trades in the live market and save myself...

Trading forex on a part-time basis is a viable option to consider. When compared to trading forex full-time, this approach to the market is considered to be less risky.
If you understand how and when to control and use your emotions to your advantage, I don’t think it can become a threat to the process. Loss is inevitable so traders need to be mentally prepared to lose more than they might gain.
