There are two main rules I've got from the past experience:

To follow the market closely.
Do not be deceived by emotions.

And, things that you should stay away:

To follow successful traders without questioning what they are doing.
Last but not least: too much self-confidence

I think the learning experience is different for every trader. So, it is better to learn things from your own experience since something that worked for another trader may not give the same result to you. Still, I can advise you to pay at most attention to risk management when you go live and risk real money in trades. Do not beat yourself up for making mistakes but rather take your time to learn from them.

More than the usage of any tools, becoming a profitable trader requires you to have the right psychology. Trading psychology, although this term might sound overrated, is actually a building block. Your strategy can be perfect, and so can your level of analysis , but without the right trading psychology, you will not be able to stay in the market for long. Trading psychology makes you conscious, it changes your whole perspective about trading. It can help you find out your own mistakes, make peace with loss, and ultimately love trading and become a successful trader!

In my opinion, a profitable trader uses stop loss orders, risk management, and trading plans. They stay ahead of the curve with less risk and more profits. Great tips!

Be flexible and adaptable to the changing market conditions. Make changes to your trading strategy according to it.

To get profitable in a market that is prone to frequent and sudden changes, traders need to understand the importance of risk, money and time management. Once they develop a strong skill set and manage to bring in consistent profit regularly, they know the decisions made were smart and in time, they can only be adaptable and learn till they reach their goal.

There is no quick way to profit in the forex market. The only thing you can do is put in a lot of effort and be completely committed to the process. Your in-depth knowledge and understanding of the market is the most important factor in determining your level of profitability.

Hard work and effort is accounted for, profit is earned through patience and testing your skills. Keep learning until you understand the market’s nature.

To be truthful, it was a long and challenging journey for me. But I am glad I didn’t give up and became a consistently profitable trader over time. It takes a lot of learning and practice for a beginner to transform into a skilled trader. But the end results are surely worth all the effort.

The answer will become too long if I started explaining all of the tools and techniques that helped me to become a profitable trader. But the short answer would be constant learning, practice and patience. I started by reading good books from professionals and practised on a demo account for 6 months. Finding a strategy that works for me took time and effort. So, patience is the tool that helped me to keep on trading even during tough times.

There is no easy way to ensure your success as a trader, and there never has been and never will be. All of it comes from consistently educating oneself and working hard in the marketplace.
