I am new here and really really want to learn forex trading. What systems out there are available? Technical analysis, etc?
Here are some simple ways to track your forex trades:
Firstly, you have to just focus on just 1 forex trading strategy at 1 time.
You cannot trade different forex trading strategies together at 1 time, at 1 account.
If you do that -
My question to you is:
How do you know which forex trading strategy is working for you? And which is not working?
Therefore, start trading 1 strategy at 1 time.
Be specific on the strategy and do not deviate or change random stuffs.
Eg. changing the way you enter, exit trades etc.
It has to be consistent all the way.
So run this strategy trades for 20 trades.
At the end of the test, what is your account status?
Are you profitable, breakeven or negative?
Then ask yourself, did you change anything along the way, among the different trades?
eg. the lot size is different, or you should not have entered a certain trade, but you entered anyway.
If there is a deviation – a change,
then you have to restart the entire test.
By using this method of tracking, you will be able to clearly see whether the forex trading strategy you are using is working for you.

Besides, i will recommend you to take screen shots of the trades you entered.
This way, you can review all the 20 trades you have entered once the test is completed.
And you can clearly see what are the mistakes you have made on some trades and what are the things you did right on certain forex trades.
This method will prevent you from repeating the same mistakes again.
