My Minimalist FX

This year marks my 15th year in FX trading. I think the key to continuing for so long is not to push too hard or overdo it. In other words, I avoid trades that cause a lot of stress.

I am a part-time trader, so FX does not weigh heavily on my daily life. For the past two years, I have tried to reduce trading as much as possible. I stopped making unnecessary trades. I enter trades only when it feels right. Doing so has improved my win rate and reduced major stress compared to before.
