Well i have been learning about stock trading for 6 years and have developed a good system. Forex is a little different. I started last january. i blew up within weeks because i was uing 400:1 leverage. i also wasent cutting my losses. Anyway through some experience i think i have it a ltitle figured out. What i have to do is wait patiently for a trend to form and act on it. I have about 500 in my account right now trading 50:1.. i cut my loses at 20 pips and let my profits run. until there is a reversal. ii incorperate the fibonacci retracement signals amounst a few ocilattors/indicators. I also keep an eye out on the news that would affect a currency pair. I have also read a few forex traders turning a couple grand into 10s of thousands their first year. I honestly believe this can be me.. can any experienced forex trader advise me?

Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, even if you learn everything about forex trading indicators the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled, over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.
This question was about forex trading indicators and there have been some pretty good answers that should help in your trading, and especially in relation to forex trading indicators, the answer has been posted in the categories listed below:

Welcome to Forex Trading my friend. Because the risk factor is high in foreign currency transactions trading, only genuine “risk” funds should be used in such trading. The logic of my system lies in TRADING BOTH SIDES (buy and sell). Risk management and great programmers are huge help to my trading. Targeted drawdown has always been 10%. Always start off with scalping using semi-auto indicators. In this way you’ll understand the trading. You can track my records
Seriously, you can find most answers

Playing Forex can appear alluring, but the majority of people who try it lose money. All you have to do is do a web search on the words "Forex" and "lose" to see this is the consensus. You are being mislead by people who are trying to make Forex appear easy, when it is horrendously hard for people to make money in it in the long run.
You’ve already tried one strategy and you’ve blown up. You will probably find your new strategy blows up eventually too. Forex is a treacherous game.
Forex is similar to what we call a "zero sum" game. You are making a bet with someone else about whether a currency will rise or fall. For every winner there has to be a loser. The net winnings of everyone combined equals zero. If you are smarter than the average player, you may make money. If you are dumber than the average player, you are likely to lose money. Most of the people making the "bets" in Forex are highly trained professionals at banks and other institutions. You are unlikely to beat them at this game.
Actually Forex is not quite a zero sum game. It’s a slightly negative sum game as the Forex broker takes a small percentage each time in the spread. It’s a small amount but over a hundred trades, it ends up being a considerable amount of money. So the average player is likely to lose money, and remember the average player is a highly trained professional and probably smarter than you.
There is a lot of luck in Forex, and if you play it, you will have some periods of time where you make money. This is usually because you are having a lucky streak, not because you have suddenly become an expert Forex player. However, most people are unwilling to admit their success is due to luck. They become convinced they have a system that works, and lose a lot of money trying to refine it.
Further complicating the problem is the large number of Forex scams on the internet. Most Forex websites are of questionable honesty. You will find many people on the Internet that claim they made a lot of money using Forex. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say: "Go to Forexcrap,com/q2347." The "q2347" is a signal to the Forexcrap site that you are being referred to them by "q2347." If they sell something to you, "q2347" gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you. Also there are a good number of trolls out there that like to pretend they are successful forex traders just for the fun of it.
I would recommend not trying to do Forex at all, unless you are a trained professional. It’s like playing poker with people better than you, with the house constantly taking a small percentage from the pot.
