To the people who lose each time they find an entry opportunity. The real reason you win when you reduce the number of attempts
“There were three opportunities today, but I lost every single one.”
“The ones I let slip away kept growing, and I was frustrated, so I jumped in.”
“Looking back, the months with more trades tended to have worse results.”
If any one of these resonates with you, I’ll be honest with you.
That loss isn’t because your market sense is bad.
The cause is actually in the number of entries.
I’ve been trading FX for 20 years,
and it took me a long time to realize this fundamental truth.
Having originally worked as an engineer for 20 years,
I had convinced myself somewhere that “if you find something that looks like a chance, you verify it and execute it.”
That’s how I believed a sincere approach should be.
But in reality, it was the opposite.
My results stabilized when I deliberately reduced the number of entries.
