New here, keeping it simple

Hey all, I’m Cheeky.

I trade FX with a simple goal: stay alive first, make money second, and avoid doing anything that’ll get me featured in a “what not to do” thread. I’m not the guy taking 12 trades before breakfast or predicting the next 500 pip move because Mercury is in retrograde.

Style wise, I keep it pretty clean: wait for decent setups, manage risk like I actually want to trade tomorrow, and try to be consistent instead of heroic. If the market looks messy, I’m happy to sit on my hands and let other people provide the liquidity.

Joined to learn, share a few notes along the way, and have a laugh when trading inevitably humbles everyone equally.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. What’s the one mistake that finally stopped repeating once experience kicked in?
 
Hey Cheeky, I’m pretty new here too, but I already like your style. “Stay alive first” is basically the only rule that actually matters. For me, the one mistake I finally started cutting out was moving my stop just to give it room after I was already wrong. It usually wasn’t strategy, it was ego. Now if my level is invalid, I’m out and I live to take the next setup. Curious, do you keep it to one or two pairs or rotate depending on what’s clean?
