There are numerous reasons that can get in the way of becoming a profitable trader, not trusting yourself and your own trading strategy is one of the big ones. How often you are not following your own trading strategy?

I trade in different strategies with indicators and patterns. I don’t think that here is anything about trust. I think before order that it will be better for this trade in this time and then I apply it. I make loss or profit that’s not matter. But when I open a trade, I think I fully trust my strategy. What will happen next, that is not matter!

That's a loaded question, let me see - I would trust my strategy to work about 70% of the time..but as another poster made the point, by the time It comes to applying it, I'm all in..

Well it is important to trust own strategy but also with time change it and make it better when required. you should backtest your strategy and see the results before you go real.

Back testing consumes lot of time, and sometimes you miss out right time to enter or exit market.

Of course, I trust my trading strat and if I don't I won't be doing trading. But still it depends since forex is fast changing and some strategy may not work at the moments market movement.
