“I am still trading on my demo account…”

Feedback in:

Hi,

Thanks for your email. I actually just enrolled in this course called trading the financial markets about 2 months ago. While we have been taught a number of strategies, support and resistance, trading on retracements, etc, I can’t seem to apply them fully and accurately when I trade gold. I am not actively trading the 7 major currency pairs as, there is no trading opportunity most of the time.

I have not funded any live account as of this time. I am still trading on my demo account after I completed my 5-day academic course at the end of August. However, at this point, I seem to have more losses than wins. And so I am looking to improve my knowledge and trying to learn simple effective strategies that would increase my win rate on a daily basis.

Also, since I have just started, I don’t have much funds to spend on very expensive trading courses. So, if you have videos I could watch or books I could read, that would be more ideal.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Best,
Aida M.

Those are all predictive TA. Dead end!
