How many trades a day should a beginner make

In short: Few: one to three trades by plan, or none if no suitable setup appears. The number of trades is not linked to results, and frequent trading raises costs and the number of emotional mistakes.

Why fewer is better

Good setups on H1 do not appear often. The rest of the time is noise, where beginners open trades out of boredom. A limit of two or three trades a day protects against that.

When to trade

During your market's most active hours: for forex, the London and New York sessions; for crypto, also the hours when Europe and the US are active.
