I've found when it comes to forex trading that the most simple tactic, usually ends up being the most effective tactic. We sort of delude things up in our mind and make things appear to be more complicated than they really are. If you break down things into simple components, it is often easier to profit from.
The most simple tactic that is always looked over, except by experts, is cutting your losses. You will have bad trades. I have bad trades. Everyone has bad trades, but the difference between experts and newbies is how they handle it. Experts will cut their losses after they have given a reasonable amount of time to perform. Why? So they can get their money back part of their initial investment right away and make another trade. The newbie says to themselves, "it will go back up". They're probably right, the problem is that it could take years. Just look at the US dollar, it's been for a while now. If you just cut your losses, you would of got part of your money back and been able to use it in profitable trades immediately.
Another thing you should be ever vigilant on is the Federal Reserve or any other central bank in a country. Basically, we are told that our central banks control inflation in a country. That is just a nice way of saying they face the task of controlling the supply of money in the economy. Since money still follows supply and demand, the central bank inevitably effects the price of currency. This can be a blessing or a problem. If you don't pay attention to the central bank, it's a problem. If you can figure out what the central bank will do, you have a huge potential to make a profit
