I can't help much since i have been trading forex for about a year & half only, i consider myself as newbie as well. And of course i trade in demo, but sometimes i trade real as well. Maybe it's better for u to ask other pros here.
Some advise i can give is do not depend too much on indicators. It's better for u to analyse the chart careful by observing the candlesticks (or bars) whether it's trending or not, of course it takes some time to practice and build up ur experience.
My strategy, I use H1 & H4 chart side by side tile vertically. Indicators on H1: Pivot_AllLevels and floor pivot weekly. On H4:same as H1 with addition of ema 24 and stochastic (5,3,3).
I use H4 to detect trend, H1 as entry by drawing fibonacci retracement. Try to learn fibo, search on Google. Usually for uptrend, draw fibo line from up to down, downtrend the other way around. When price retrace to 61.8, 50, 38.2, or 23.6 % level, try to look for reverse candlestick pattern, such as doji, hammer, etc. If there is any, it provide a good sign for ur entry. For take profit try set at 161.8, but it depends on how u draw the fibo line, or u can try take on the next support or resistance. Stop loss try 50-60 pips from ur open price, but it depends the pair volatility, for high volatility pair such as eurjpy it might not enough, try to set accordingly based on experience. Try practice some time on demo to familiarize with this strategy. Every trade might need to wait about 1 to 2 days before it reach tp, or it reach sl earlier.
Always remember to only open trades that have potential to take profit more than the stop loss.
Money management is the most important in forex, other than to control ur emotion when trading.
If u r trading real, start trading with smallest lot size that ur broker allowed.
Anyway, good luck on ur trading.
