Key for a Successful Trading

We never knew when even a good broker turned into scam and stop paying its traders so better go with a reputed broker and withdraw profits regularly in order to be on the safe side.
 
It is important to gain knowledge in the Forex trading business before starting trading with it. You will need a broker to help you with regards to trading. They will help you in familiarizing with the platform that you will be using with the entire business. You must seek for a reputable broker that will always be there to guide you all through out your trading career.
 
ECN and STP both are useful, traders need to select their trading platform based on their personal choice! By the way, in Forex knowledge is the key point of success! Besides, long-experience always helps trader to avoid similar mistakes!
 
I wonder nowadays on what should really be important to become successful in trading. Would knowledge be enough to succeed when you want to personally work with it? or, would it be more successful to find someone to work as a broker? Does finding an ECN forex broker be more advantage?

One must have will to learn about forex. Then need to practice as long as possible & most importantly practice with "Money management". No matter which strategy has been used one must have a proper money management otherwise it will be a failure.

You're so right, Arif. This is such a general statement, but a true one. It also illustrates well how wide of a field forex trading in and how much effort it takes to know it, let alone master it.
 
ECN profitable for all traders, both newbies and experienced ones because their transactions transferred to the interbank
 
Your question looks little confusing to me. If you find a broker who makes money for you, would you call it your success or his? And when you say “key for a successful trading”, is finding a good broker key to successful trading? To be a successful trader, YOU have to enter the market, not just entrust a broker to trade on your behalf.
 
I use an ECN broker and have nothing but good experience with them the only complaint i have is sometime the broker platform wil freeze for 2-3 secs which is more than enough time for a trade to go against you but it honest doesn't happen that often....But anything education is vital. I would not even begin to trade unless I was formally or self educated about the Forex markets and have practiced for at least 6 months to 1 yr.
 
That's a good list, ansdrewbob, I 'd add purposefullness and insistence. Things happen and you can lose deposit. In this case you shouldn't give up and must have a sense of purpose.

Knowledge, experience, emotional stability, trustworthy broker, suitable strategy – trader needs all of it (and even more)!
