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

for the traders here who eventually became consistent, im curious about the turning point. was there a moment or a period where it genuinely clicked, and if so what specifically changed, was it a technical realisation, a psychological shift, a risk-management change? trying to understand what the actual unlock tends to be versus the stuff people think it'll be.

where do you get these plugins? mql5 marketplace has so many its overwhelming

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

on demo im consistently green and calm. switch the exact same strategy to a small live account and i fall apart, exit winners early, hold losers, hesitate on good setups and then chase bad ones. same charts, same rules, completely different me. why does going live break people like this and how do you fix it?

moved to tickmill sc, 1:500 is plenty for me, withdrawals been under 12h both times i tested. not perfect license wise but tickmill uk is the parent so its cleaner than pure mauritius shops

4 yrs, fp markets + pepperstone. ny session only, trying to cover london too cost me money. pick one session one pair and actually learn it instead of jumping around

every time a strategy has a couple of losing trades i panic and switch to a new one i found online, convinced the old one was broken. ive done this for months and never given anything enough time to actually work. i know its a problem but the urge to switch after losses is overwhelming. how did you break this cycle?

so should a beginner even bother learning patterns, or focus on something with a stronger edge first?

how long should a new prop firm exist before you trust them with $200+ in eval fees?
