The Amka Pips Forex trading strategy is one of the simplest, yet amazingly currency trading strategies to reach your pip targets.
It is a strategy that can work for you only if you stick to its setup and buy/sell trading rules.
Currency traders tend to think that it is only about a specific way to trade, instead this is essentially only part of the trading strategy.
While we understand that one strategy might work for you, while ineffective for another trader, hence finding the right one is crucial for every trader.
What differentiates success and failure for market participants is self-control; a feature that allows traders stick to or not to the trading rules allotted to a strategy.
