In my own trading with hfm I survived only after I capped risk at 1% per idea and cut position size when my equity curve dipped. The edge is in staying alive, not swinging big

Introduction to Fundamental Analysis...
binaryowner replied to StefGrig's topic in General Forex Discussions
I use fundamentals on hfm to pick direction and technicals to pull the trigger. Rate expectations and labor data set my weekly bias, but entries still come at levels with clear invalidation so I can keep risk small -
difficult to trade in here without a strategy

I learned the hard way with hfm that trading without a written plan just makes me chase candles and cut winners early. After I fixed risk per trade and tested entries on demo first, my losses got smaller and I finally saw consistency -
Babypips’ Pipsology plus a small demo account helped me build muscle memory; I logged 100 sample trades before touching live money. As a non-native speaker and newbie, this routine reduced confusion a lot
-
From my experience, starting with major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY) is wise because of liquidity and tighter spreads, then focus on strict risk management. If you’re in the U.S., broker choice and leverage rules matter a lot—demo first, then small live once your plan is consistent
-
From execution logs I’ve analyzed across brokers, stop entries around CPI/NFP slip ~2–3x more than passive limits. I now either trade the second leg with limits or widen max slippage and colocate a VPS. What do your HFM stop-vs-limit stats look like?
-
I keep risk 1% max on hfm, cut to 0.5% during drawdowns, and review a trade journal weekly to keep expectancy positive

After testing a pile of indicators, the only combo that stuck was higher-timeframe S/R + ATR for position sizing; everything else is just a translation of price

Forex Basics 4 Advanced&Beginner Traders

EMA is fine, but context is king - HTF bias + liquidity windows keeps it from turning into a chop machine -
Fridays are ‘preserve the week’ for me - reduced size and only A+ setups with hfm in the first two hours, otherwise I stand down. Too many times I’ve seen position-squaring flip a clean trend into a chop fest
-
I’ve settled on risking less than 1% per idea and only scale up after a statistically significant edge shows up in my journal; the smaller risk kept me in the game long enough to learn
-
In my own practice with HFM, I only moved to micro-lots after a few months of demo + webinar replays and a journal showing I could stick to my rules, not just hit random wins. That slow transition helped a lot with keeping fear and greed under control once real money was on the line

What do you think about foreign brokers offering large bonuses — opportunity or marketing trap?
-
Bonuses are marketing first; I treat them as ‘demo-plus’ unless profits (not the bonus) are clearly withdrawable and the volume thresholds are realistic. Given reports like getting ‘scam[med] for $8K,’ I’d only test with tiny funds after reading T&Cs line-by-line. Hfm bnous looks good thouugh
-
High leverage isn’t the problem; position sizing without a hard stop is. On small accounts I cap risk at 0.25–0.5% per trade and let leverage simply reduce margin usage—tiny lots, hard stops, no exceptions
-
I started with PAMM/copy at HFM as training wheels—it accelerates learning—but my consistency only came after I built my own position-sizing and stop rules. Whatever you choose, demand a verified, public Myfxbook with full history and no martingale tricks
