Putting it together
A simple written plan beats improvising.
Before any real money
Check the broker's licence on the register. Practise the platform on demo. Learn pip value and position size.
A one-page plan
Markets you trade, times you trade, setup rules, stop placement, risk per trade, maximum loss per day and week.
Start small
Trade the smallest size your broker allows until you've followed your plan for a month.
Review weekly
Use your journal: what worked, what broke the rules. Change one thing at a time.
