How are you? The way of thinking of people who are successful in FX
If you ask what the most profitable mindset in FX is, many people will look for an answer such as
"Is it technical analysis?"
"Is it a high-win-rate method?"
"Is it indicators?"
But all of this is off the mark.
Because the difference between people who win in FX and those who lose is almost determined by the design of the mindset before the method.
FX begins to lose the moment you think of it as a game of guessing up or down.
First, there is a deadly misconception that most people hold unconsciously.
That is the belief that FX is a game of guessing whether it will go up or down.
As long as you think this way,
- entries become gambling
- when you lose, emotions shake you
- you cannot cut losses
- lots are unstable
you cannot escape this hell loop.
The actual market is different.
FX is a game of how you handle capital in an uncertain world.
The future is unknown to everyone.
With the premise of not knowing, can you still create a structure where capital increases?
That is everything.
People who are winning do not look at a single win or loss.
Those who cannot win tend to ask,
"Can this trade win?"
"Right now, is it a long or a short?"
But those who are winning do not put much emotion into a single trade.
Because what they are watching is not
"this one time," but "what happens if you do the same thing 100 times".
- Even if you lose now, actions that will be profitable in the long term
- Even if you win now, continued actions could lead to collapse
They completely separate these two ideas.
Therefore, they do not get cocky when they win, and they do not panic when they lose.
No-emotion = no-judgment drift. This is the reason for stable winning.
Lot size is not a tool to expand profits
Many people think of lot size as an "accelerator" to grow quickly.
But for those who win, lot size is a matter of braking performance.
- Is it calm even after a losing streak with this lot size
- Can I stick to the rules even with unrealized losses
- Even in the worst scenario, can I avoid getting expelled
These are the standards used to decide.
The idea of "increase the lot size because I am confident" is the most dangerous in the market.
The market will betray you most when you are at your most confident.
A loss is not a failure. It is all about whether it was expected.
Those who cannot win blame themselves with thoughts like,
"Was I wrong?"
"I lack talent."
But those who are winning are different.
What they assess is
whether that loss was within expectations.
- Did I enter according to the rules
- Was the stop loss as planned
- Did I not touch it with emotions
If these are kept, a loss is a "correct trade."
Conversely, a trade where you violated the rules and touched the position with emotion and happened to win is the most dangerous kind of win.
Because it reinforces the next downfall.
Truly winning people have an abnormally strong power to wait.
The market is always moving.
But opportunities do not always exist.
Those who win tend to have
- long periods of doing nothing
- many days without holding a position
- yet when they enter, there is no hesitation
This is not a talent.
It is the result of training to "avoid unnecessary trades."
People who lose say, "I fear missing out on opportunities," but
What actually reduces capital is the time spent forcing participation.
The true essence of the most winning mindset in FX
Summarizing all of this, the most winning mindset in FX is this.
Do not chase accuracy. But do not break either. And keep going.
- Do not worry about win rate
- Expect a string of losses
- Capital is life
- The market is not an enemy
From the moment you switch to this thinking,
FX stops being gambling and becomes a job that deals with probabilities.
