• Do not use more indicators to make the process complicated.

If you have 10 indicators it does not mean that you will have to use all of them. When you can work satisfactorily with two indicators, why to make the process complex with 10? The best forex trading system is the one the one that is simple. The simpler systems are more robust that have fewer elements to break and ease to operate.

One of the main reasons behind the movement of forex market is this very element of uncertainty.

• You cannot trade on the basis of historical data

While trading forex you often deal with historical data, which again may indicate the trend. The data curve may not, and most likely, will not match with the previous occurrence, as no two situations can be exactly same. If they are not the price in the current situation may not reach the level it reached earlier under the same circumstances. This random volatility makes trading quite difficult for day traders and scalpers.
