First of all, what are you trying to do..
breakouts, ranges, trends, pullbacks, fade volatility?
How long can you hold a trade mentally?
Can you hold for a year, a month, a few hours or minutes before cutting it?
Are you going to sit in front of the screen and scalp or do you work 40 hours or more and have a family?
How many pairs or products are you going to trade?
28 forex? 4? 1?
The more products you trade the less you will be able to keep track of especially with indicators.
Try putting one of the 'hot' trading systems on here on 56 or even 28 pairs and see where that gets you.
You will be so inundated with signals and alerts you would be rendered basically impotent by all the noise.
Figure out what you want to do and most importantly what you can handle mentally.
If you are new to trading, plan on losing for a while till you figure it out because what you think you want to do vs what you can actually do are 2 disparate things.
trends especially, trying to enter a bit late on the crossover to get a confirmation, but not to late
Not very long, trying to get better at it
I started with scalping but trying to move to a trend based system, to hold until it turns, i can't stand in front of the screen all the time
EURUSD and GBPUSD but i try and see it any of the others are a good option
