Starting right matters more than starting fast. Use this simple, repeatable checklist to set up your PFH account, platform, and risk guardrails the smart way.
1) Create your account
Register with your real details and a dedicated trading email. Use a strong, unique password.
2) Complete KYC (smoothly)
Upload sharp scans of your government ID and proof of address. Submit during business hours to reduce review time.
3) Choose a simple account type
While learning, prefer lower leverage and a straightforward fee structure.
4) Fund small
Start with a small deposit you can afford to learn with. Make a tiny withdrawal early to validate the payout path.
5) Install and focus on one platform
Pick **MetaTrader 5** (desktop or mobile) and commit to learning it deeply before adding tools.
6) Set risk per trade (≤1%)
Cap risk per trade at or under 1% until you have a track record. Protect capital first.
7) Define your playbook
Write your entry, invalidation (stop), and exit logic. Avoid off-plan trades.
8) Prove it on demo (30-trade sample)
Record at least 30 demo trades. Move live sized small only after you’re consistent.
9) Practice withdrawals and timing
Submit withdrawal requests during business hours. Expect timing to vary with banking/compliance steps.
10) Keep it boring
Consistency beats excitement. Review weekly, adjust rules not impulses.
