What you want in order to be successful with your Forex trading:
You must have a tested and definite trading strategy as well as extreme discipline to follow the strategy and execute the plan to the letter. You will want to be exact and precise with your entries, always going for the very best entries with the highest probabilities of success, with the lowest risk. You would want to evaluate the risk, not only in terms of pips but also in terms of strategy and chart pattern.
For instance, if you are trading a breakout, and this would be a long trade, right at a strong resistance level, price very often turns back to test the breakout level. So your stop loss would need to be larger than usual in relation to your capital and you could feel very uncomfortable with it. In this case it would be prudent to wait for a second attempt at the breakout, and then be in a position to use a smaller stop loss.
