How to Be Consistently Profitable in Forex Trading.

Recommended Posts

Forex Trading Strategies – How to be consistently profitable in forex trading

 

FOREX TRADING STRATEGIES

 

I always get the same questions from forex traders around the world:

“Ezekiel, I can’t seem to be consistently profitable in forex trading”

then they may follow on by “I know my forex trading strategy works.. but i just can’t get profits month after month..”

These are the questions that i get frequently. And this is my general answer to them.

I will usually ask them back:

“So, are you keeping track of your trades?”

You see, to be consistently profitable. You cannot forgo this important step.

That is TRACKING.

All successful businessman tracks their own and their company’s performance.

This also applies to successful forex traders.

You must have a proper and systematic way to track your trades and your success.

So that you can see if you are on the right track to success or if you are not even on the track..

Forex Trading Strategies – How to be consistently profitable in forex trading

 

Here are some simple ways to track your forex trades:

Firstly, you have to just focus on just 1 forex trading strategy at 1 time.

You cannot trade different forex trading strategies together at 1 time, at 1 account.

If you do that -

My question to you is:

How do you know which forex trading strategy is working for you? And which is not working?

Therefore, start trading 1 strategy at 1 time.

Be specific on the strategy and do not deviate or change random stuffs.

Eg. changing the way you enter, exit trades etc.

It has to be consistent all the way.

So run this strategy trades for 20 trades.

At the end of the test, what is your account status?

Are you profitable, breakeven or negative?

Then ask yourself, did you change anything along the way, among the different trades?

eg. the lot size is different, or you should not have entered a certain trade, but you entered anyway.

If there is a deviation – a change,

then you have to restart the entire test.

By using this method of tracking, you will be able to clearly see whether the forex trading strategy you are using is working for you.

Forex Trading Strategies – How to be consistently profitable in forex trading

 

Besides, i will recommend you to take screen shots of the trades you entered.

This way, you can review all the 20 trades you have entered once the test is completed.

And you can clearly see what are the mistakes you have made on some trades and what are the things you did right on certain forex trades.

This method will prevent you from repeating the same mistakes again.

Yes thanks "Ezekiel"....is that really your name? if so, your family (obviously Asian converted to christianity long years ago and having to deal with the communists policy toward western religion, decided to move you to the west....) is that the short version...I think so..

 

As to the question of how to be consistently profitable in Forex...the first step is to NOT TRADE FOREX.....

 

Everybody with me so far....excellent...then you pick an excchange traded currency and learn that market....choose one of several simple systems (volatility, moving average, oscillators, price action, etc) and learn it top to bottom....

 

Step 2....backtest systems unitl you find one that fits your temperment, account size...and provides the kind of (realistic) performance you require.

 

Step 3....Find a decent broker and put your account together with the appropriate amount of capital. Find decent order execution software and learn to use it (NinjaTrader is one example).

 

Step 4....learn to recognize (and execute) your system's signals with discipline

 

Step 5....learn to manage risk

 

Step 6....start trading

 

Step 7....keep good records

 

Step 8 ....review your results every week, month, quarter and year and make the appropriate adjustments so that your system remains profitable

 

Step 9....send me a check for putting you on the right road so long ago..

 

Step 10...live happily ever after....like in the movies.

 

You're welcome

 

Edit....of course this is oversimplfied and somewhat tongue-in-cheek....it would actually work....if one were into "work", "dedication to reaching a goal", and other very important character issues....for those into successful scenarios....have at it.....one thing is certain...you have much better odds of succeeding using that scenario than you would have trading forex.

the hardest thing is to find something that really work,

something that wins more than it looses, something you can depend on,

I think thats the main reason most traders jumping from one system to another,

I know it because I do it my self,

I need to find something that works and I need to see it work,

then I will believe it and then I will never use anything else.

I promise!

No one can constantly win the markets. You have to accept the fact that the losses will come along the way and you have to know how to learn from them. From my point of view, a trader has to have 65% of wining of 1:1.5 RR (Risk-Rewards: ratio between losses and wins). In order to get there, beside a good forex trading strategy, you need to have excellent money management skills, which I believe, is the most important element of successful trading. Good Luck!

good tips above. but if you want consistent profits- that's i always suggest is just aim small. you dont have to target 50-100 pips in each trade. 10-20 pips is just sufficient. but make sure not to overtrade. its not that hard to get 20 pips and you'll be amaze that you might get a lot more than you expected.

One way or another you'll have losses at the beginning. But once you learn how to close out emotions and think with a clear mind that's where the game begins. You need to find the most efficient and comfy tools to trade with and your sources that help you make decisions.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
