I am glad to hear that. Mine has been about the same, but I don't mind.

2018 is almost over, I hope it has been at least as good as 2017 was.

When I think about what I knew and didn't know as a newbie I laugh too, but then again, I am just glad I have outgrown that phase.

I prefer to trade manually and it has been so for years. I don't like the loss of control that comes with an EA.

I concur. Any investment requires management, at least from time to time.

That is, in my experience, a particularly useful combination, I recommend it too.

Thank you for the recommendations, I will check them out!

What risk management advice would you give aspiring newbies?

When is the best time to trade depends on a lot of factors. It depends on your strategy, the currency pairs (or other instruments) that you trade, on the time zone you live in, on your personal preference, etc. Obviously, these factors and the answer to your question differ for different traders.

I think that one thing that is relevant to trading is maturity, rather than age. If you are impulsive and immature, regardless of age, trading may be difficult for you.

I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect analysis, they usually only have a degree of probability. The higher the probability, the better, obviously.

I avoid trading during major news events altogether, I don't like taking on that kind of risk, regardless of position size.

The same strategy you are using should continue working in the same way unless there are major changes on the market.

Regarding the double tops and head and shoulders, I trade the former quite a lot, the former - not as much, but I still do find them useful.

I prefer Forex for the same reasons and I have no desire to switch for now, but to each their own.
