One of the most significant aspects of the foreign exchange market is an ability to restrain yourself from slow reacting or too fast actions. However, it is necessary to analyze the previous experience and draw conclusions to know what to do. It is important to pay attention to the periods of trade, the general market sentiment, and the world news that could cause a substantial price movement, etc. In general, there are a lot of factors, and it is challenging to trade without a particular program.

It is possible to analyze the trading activity and its results with the help of the transaction log. It is software connected to the terminal.
