From my observation of some older traders who are consistently profitable in the market, I have observed that they usually are very consistent with their strategy or approach to the market.
Just as starting to trade on one pair first is important for a beginner trader, it is also necessary for a new trader to know that the easiest way to become confused is to try to learn different trading strategies from different traders or sources at once.
One trading strategy is enough to make you successful until it is no longer working.
First thing as a new trader for you to succeed is to stick to one strategy. This can be one developed by you, or some already existing one.. so long that strategy is able to put you into profits, the best thing to practice till you become a master of it. What kills most new traders in the market is that they focus on too many strategies, making their chart noisy and unclear. Try using simple and straightforward strategies and stick to one pair at a time. I've seen so many big traders whom have blow in forex all trading just a single pair.
