limit orders dont slip (you get your price or no fill) but you might miss the trade. market orders fill for sure but can slip. for news, either use limits or just dont trade the first minute of a big release. pick your tradeoff

consistent focused hours beat long chaotic ones. match the style to your time.

to settle it: do the kyc, its mandatory and normal, but verify the broker is properly regulated first since thats the part that actually protects your documents. some traders also watermark their uploaded id with the date and purpose, for example 'for broker verification only', which is a small extra safeguard against the file being reused. then upload through the official portal and move on.

off topic but its kind of nice trading ny in the evening with a coffee, way less stress than scrambling at london open before work used to wreck me

yes slightly, because the profit gets converted back to your account currency. small difference but real on big positions. easiest is just trust the calculator/platform which accounts for your account currency automatically

tie it to the 1-2% risk rule instead of thinking in leverage. pick your stop in pips, size so that if the stop hits you lose 1-2% of the account. the effective leverage just falls out of that, usually ends up low (1:3 to 1:10) for sane stops. forget the 1:500 number exists

tiny live to train the emotion, predefine exits so panic cant act.

doing it small and early is the right instinct, keep doing that. complete your identity verification before you withdraw so theres nothing to hold it up, withdraw to your deposit method, and keep a screenshot of the request. if a regulated broker ever did stall without reason youd have a clean record to escalate, but with a legit one you almost certainly wont need it.

1-2%? where is the fun in that. (this is sarcasm please listen to them)

normal dip, go narrow and deep on one setup, push through.

consistency across conditions, not a calendar. got it.

couple hundred, treat it as tuition. clear.

babypips + books + demo. period.

the comfort-seeking line stung because its exactly it every new strategy was a hope hit. committing to one for fifty trades and writing my exit criteria down tonight. thanks for being blunt, i needed it.

this is the calmest beginner advice ive gotten anywhere was about to chase a 100 percent deposit bonus from some broker i couldnt even find a license for. dodged that one thanks to you all.

and yet most will still bookmark this, watch forty more videos, and place a 5 percent risk trade on day three because a pattern looked spicy. knowing the order and respecting it are, as always, different things.
