A strategic guide for trading that endures forever, returning to traditional analysis methods to challenge FX trading

【Question】

The market does not move as expected,

losses continue, and profits disappear quickly

Even when profits from the trend have been earned

they are often ruined by continuing losses

To make money from the market semi-permanently

is there some missing element?

【Answer】

Yes, indeed

Ultimately, the market "moves"

There is no 100% perfect market

Even when a trend-detectable market comes

it often changes shape a few hours later

That is evidence that the market is a "living thing"

To control a market that is like a living thing

you need to manage risk well

In other words, your own mindset greatly affects profits and losses

Also, it is better to fix your trading style

Some trade using both trend-following and counter-trend,

but generally beginners and intermedates should decide on one of the two styles, either trend-following or counter-trend

【Question about the answer】

Thank you for the reply

I use a trend-following trading style,

which allows me to limit losses because I enter cautiously,

but in a market like a round-trip slap, I always end up getting hurt

I know this is a weakness,

but I don't think I can change it

so in the end, losses increase and profits and losses alternate in a tight situation

【Answer】

Why not boldly change your trend-following approach?

In the end, you will increase with either trend-following or counter-trend

In trend-following, there are markets where a bold approach yields more profit than a cautious one

Indeed, in careful trend-following, losses can be restrained, but conversely, in markets where price action catches you off guard, that becomes a weakness

Since you are troubled by that weakness, it might be better to switch away from that style and try a different trend-following approach

If you start seeing profits from it

that could become your strong trading style
