Forex Trading as we all know is the process of buying and selling currency pairs by analysing the charts and placing orders.
Anybody can trade forex, that's what is clamored all over the industry yet more than 80% of traders lose their capital day in, day out.
You might think you'll create a badass strategy that will outsmart the market makers, the Goldman Sachs or Wall Street traders, you get lost in the world trying to get the holy grail, a lot of time passes you by without achieving anything tangible.
This is the reality for most people in the industry, yet they'll think there big break is close, they'll soon buy a house in Beverly Hills, haha.
In my opinion forex is hard as it is but that's not all.
Because the only people that makes it big are those with big accounts already, remember the old saying? 'The rich keeps getting richer and the poor gets poorer' the perfect definition is in retail traders.
A forex trader trading with an account of $100k aims for 2% monthly which will cumulates to 24% In a year and $24,000 in profits, will take only high probability trades and will always make sure the risk to reward is even out, this will give him an upper hand in his trades because he won't bother taking much trades.
But on the flip, we have the average retail trader with a measly $100 that wants to make $10,000 before the year runs out, this trader will be prone to more losses because he's under pressure and because of our hard wired mentality as human beings we tend to take higher risk when we are In desperate situations, he'll end up blowing his accounts at last.
I hope you've learned something from this post.
