You trade D1 and plan to full time? Just don't waste that time on the chart lor. You can do other many things.

Just tell your manager you are part-time trading (like I did) it will be ok as long as you finish your work, looking at the chart is better than playing phones and games.

Just don't full-time trader until your capital is big enough (this will be hard to reach if you only depends on saving and trading profit) trade for a living and consistently making profit year after year.

"Full-time trader" is just hype for a mentor/instructor/coach because they make money on teaching. You can do so many things besides trading if you trade bigger timeframe, spend time on family, take care of your health, maybe open a small business, learn to trade stock, metals, oil, CFDs etc

if you are trading D1/H4 your screen chart time should be very minimal right?

based on your current capital, how many % do u need to make for your expenses? if it's more than 10%, it's going to be pretty tough

My Own Experience from 19 to now about 8 years already

knew forex from a scam at college time , which is very famous at that time ,  i dint join them but interested to know how to make easy money at that time and self explore without joining them.
( also going to some pyramid scheme , manage to join 1 for rm1000 member fees , then dint put in any effort to sales , waste just like that ..... maybe should say lucky too dint go sales thing. another on e after join quit immediately as they dont tell you what you need to do before join. )

then try indicator for 3 years without success
then start to learn price action
then until now...... have some small profit from my micro account ( 20usd )

there were alot to be consider other than a strategy itself , news , event , area of price ( a good selling signal at low area is not that good ) , emotional state( any changes in life will affect your decision and mind ), amount of pips risking ( too big SL points will diminish your RR ratio ) , etc etc

has been changing job all the time with no level up till now on my career , as i told myself  " focus on forex! "

until now i realise that even i success in forex , the return is not that high despite " easy money " , as alot here said , we might have no return for a year , without a big enough account we cant really survive in this game , by survive i mean in real life living , not the account , we still need a job.

trading the intraday make me lose focus on my job , i would suggest others to trade the Daily chart as we only need to look at the market once a day , this would not interrupt with my job and even my life as the time needed is reduced. same to emotional side. this also help to improve our edge.

i have been wasting my 8years of career , if others ask me should he join forex , i would say Yes and No , and never give up your job.

even if i have 100k usd on my account now , if the return 10% a year average without a losing year , i still cant survive as my yearly income is only 10k usd without increasing my capital.

a young man without money cant even take care of himself. i am losing my life instead of getting a good one.

just my own experience

I have no idea a what a good return is , currently still trying to be profitable.

can share what is the expected return and how many years you have the same/similar/average results already.

Some of the ppl here running EA...buta buta 20-40% per month... 

Hi guys, I just started in forex for few months, currently using XM but the spread for me is big, does any 1 here use octafx before?

Please delete if this inappropriate.
This is my last week pending order, triggered end of us session last Friday.
I like this kind of play, give quite good RR ratio. But the thing is it took quite a long time to form the setup.
As a newbie feels like itchy hand to yolo entry and making me impatient.
But so far still holding up 

Wish me luck
