In FX, for now sticking with a trend-following approach makes it easier to survive
Those who try to make a living in actual FX with the mindset of “I will earn money”
can make money in the short term, but
they cannot make money in the long term
they end up failing more often
This is because
they prioritize profits above all else
What actually needs to be learned is
the mechanics of the market, not a way to profit from the market
In the mechanics of the market
you can make a killing in the short term in a range market
but in the long term you can make a killing in a trend market
which means the profits from a range market are essentially burned away
So, unlike stable earnings
you end up losing steadily
This is something very many traders experience
However, the situations traders have witnessed
are that they could profit daily,
so in reality, there are many who simply cannot give up
Indeed, in the short term it can be very tasty
I too used to favor the tasty contrarian trades
but in the long run you cannot profit in the market unless you look at the bigger picture
Contrarian trading is ultimately suited for those who have skill and talent
Most traders would actually be better off with trend following trading
By trading with a long-term view in a trend-following approach
you can break the chains
If you mistake familiarity for stability and keep losing with contrarian trading
you should switch to the steady, growth-friendly trend-following trading
