ECN and STP both are useful,
I wonder nowadays on what should really be important to become successful in trading. Would knowledge be enough to succeed when you want to personally work with it? or, would it be more successful to find someone to work as a broker? Does finding an ECN forex broker be more advantage?
One must have will to learn about forex. Then need to practice as long as possible & most importantly practice with "Money management". No matter which strategy has been used one must have a proper money management otherwise it will be a failure.
That's a good list, ansdrewbob, I 'd add purposefullness and insistence. Things happen and you can lose deposit. In this case you shouldn't give up and must have a sense of purpose.
I completely agree with you to be successful in trading, knowledge, emotional stability, a reliable broker, good trading system and LUCK all these play vital role.You see, trading is a complicated process with a lot of shades and peculiarities. That’s why trader should have a complex of skills to succeed. Of course, knowledge is important, but not enough. Knowledge, experience, emotional stability, trustworthy broker, suitable strategy – trader needs all of it (and even more)!
