HFM also has the Demo Contest every month. In September the winners can get up to $2,000, $1,000 and $500 in trading bonus. It is good for new traders because you can join with no risk. You only need to trade on demo and if you win, you receive bonus in your live account. I think this is very fair.

Some brokers never let you withdraw bonus itself, only profits. This is normal in the industry. The bonus works like extra balance to support positions. I think traders should accept this. If you only want free money, you will be disappointed. Better to focus on trading skills.

I see many brokers like HFM, XM use contests as marketing. It attracts new traders quickly. People like the idea of winning while learning. It is also good for the broker, because active traders bring more volume. Both sides win in this system. This is why contests are common now.

I agree, Demo accounts are very important for new traders. You can practice all your strategies without any risk. It is the best way to understand how the market and your broker's platform work before you put your real money in.

Trading is not only about buying and selling. You also need to control your mind. Fear and greed can make bad decisions. Demo trading can train your patience. It also shows how fast the market can change. When you are ready, you can trade small amounts of real money. Step by step is the safe way.

Some brokers only give credit so they can limit risk. They want people to use the money inside the platform. It’s like bonus money. You can trade with it, but can’t withdraw directly.

Important thing is they are regulated. That makes me feel more safe.

I agree that regulated brokers are better. They protect our money. I used to lose money on a bad broker. Now I only trade on licensed platforms. It is safer and more professional. HFM and xm are well regulated, trusted by many traders,

I respect your time. If the files are still available, I’d really appreciate a copy. I just want to learn and improve.

HFM works fine for my needs. I like that they offer both MT4 and MT5. I usually trade on mobile and it runs smooth. The deposit process is easy and fast. They support local banks too. The only thing I want is more promotions. But overall, I’m happy with them.

I think you are talking about this contest, It's monthly competition so you should expect the result at the end of month. But for demo contest, you should have > 1k% profit gain to be awarded.

Webinars are a great way to learn without stress. I don’t always have time to read full books, but I can join short webinars. HFM is doing a good job offering these sessions. It shows they care about traders, not just trading.

I tried both and I can say forex is better. Binary was too fast and I lost focus. Forex takes effort but it’s worth it. I can grow step by step. I also like reading market news and charts. Binary was boring after a while. Forex keeps me interested.

I think testing it on a demo account first is a smart idea. HFM demo is a good choice because it works smoothly. I want to know how the indicator works in live market conditions. If it gives clear signals, I will use it in real trading later. I hope it’s not too heavy for low-end PCs. Please also confirm if MT4 version will be available. Many traders still use MT4. I think both options should be supported.

Losing small is okay. Winning big sometimes is enough. Risk control is the real key.

Liquidity also affects your profit. If there’s low liquidity, your trade might get filled at a worse price than expected. That’s called slippage, and it hurts your bottom line more than you think.

In my experience, choosing a broker with solid local support and clear communication channels really makes a difference in daily trading. When the broker’s customer service speaks your language and operates in your time zone, A trusted, regulated broker with offices or representatives nearby also gives extra peace of mind, especially if you need help with account setup or deposit and withdrawal questions. Before committing real money, it’s always smart to open a demo account first this way you can learn the platform’s features, test order execution speed, and check the spread conditions under live market data without any risk.

Learning Forex takes time and patience. Babypips gives a strong foundation, but I also think practice is key. I opened a demo account with a broker and made small trades daily. This showed me how price moves in real time. Education plus experience is best.

I have used a few brokers like HFM and XM. They both work fine for me. I like that they are regulated and easy to use. HFM has more promotions, while XM has better education tools. If you live in Australia, you should check if they accept your location first.

Some books are too general. They talk a lot but give nothing useful. But I joined a free webinar and learned more in one hour than reading a full book

Good traders don’t need to win every trade. They just need to follow their plan and manage risk. If you lose small and win big, you can still make money. That’s why a plan is so important.

Welcome to trading! It’s a tough but rewarding journey. Start slow, ask questions, and focus more on learning than making money in the beginning.

I’ve been seeing this course mentioned here and there over the past year. It seems to focus heavily on trader mindset, discipline, and performance consistency, rather than technical strategies. That could be useful for someone who already understands setups but still struggles with emotional management. I’m genuinely curious if anyone here has actually completed it and found measurable results.

I prefer trading post-news reaction rather than pre-news spike. Markets usually settle into a direction after the initial chaos, and that’s a safer window for entries.

I’ve also held gold for many years, and I agree it’s one of the few assets that doesn't get wiped out in a crisis. It’s slow, yes, but dependable. When stocks, crypto, and even currencies wobble, gold stays calm. That’s what makes it so valuable in a long term portfolio.
