I won’t comment on the taxes because different countries have different taxation systems and it will be good if you contact your local CPA about it. And frankly, I haven’t faced any safety issues with the offshore brokers that I have used so far including FXTM and Merrill Edge.

Well, that’s your way of looking at it and every trader has a different idea of how they want to see their trades, even if they're not profitable.

I could easily say that the price action strategy is the best one for me. But it would not be true for you because you may not be able to trade as many hours or at the same time as I do. It depends on your style and circumstances. For instance, a day trading strategy can be the best for you to...

Merrill Edge - don’t charge anything for stocks and ETFs. Robinhood on the other hand will give you $0 trade on fractional shares.

There are various options with indices and you can select the one you want to trade. I prefer NASUSD.

Yeah, you’ve pretty much summed it up. You can also speculate on both rising and falling markets with indices.

I am of the view that limiting yourself to a few currency pairs is a negative factor. Only in the beginning it’s better to focus on 1 or 2 pairs but eventually one got to expand what they trade in.
