You will know you are in the right track once your equity curve is moving upwards ;-)

A great way to start is to document and journalize your analysis and trades! Good start man, will keep an eye on your blog

I'm pure technical trader, i didn't trade news. But i'm not avoiding trades during news. The only time i will avoid to trade is when a particular pair with stalling price. The longer the time price is stalling the more dangerous it is. The calm before the storm.

Breakouts are quite an art You must see where it breaks from, from which area/price zone,
how are the candles behaving. For TF analysis, instead of discarding, try looking and plot price
areas with strong S&R especially on weekly and monthly TF, those zones are usually strong

the only advise i could give from my newbies perspective is to do a proper analysis before you go with your entry and trust your analysis. if you want to swing, stop using ts. ts will ruin analysis even if your analysis were actually on your favor. you can use use different tf to confirm a reversal then manually exit a position with acceptable confirmation.

SL is a must. as i always say, with proper risk management and money management, SL will not burst account although there might be slight losses. You need to understand and accept the fact that losses are normal in financial trading. What matters most is you are in the gain zone in the overall.

Sound like you want to play swing and earn more pips from your trade... I never set stop loss.  Most ppl will not agree on this. Forex is tough... it will shake up those who are not confident enough in their trade... and the trend resume to your initial direction after awhile. My advise is...be patience.

Semua bucket shop dan tidak boleh dipercayai. Tapi kalau nak masukkan duit berjumlah kurang daripada 100k, tak ada masalah.

Tapi saya ni pemain besar, jadi kalau boleh saya elakkan diri saya daripada bucket shop.

Europe already opened.. your 15mins more is for UK open.

It's overlapped.. Europe Opens one hour earlier.. London follows and they overlap to create a larger market with more liquidity. So officially we refer to the openings as Europe open (not so important) and London open which will be in 2 mins.
