FX Trading Improvement Steps [FX Oni]
I started FX and this year marks 12 years. I feel I have been endlessly trialing to figure out how to trade well. During that time I have experienced roles such as a currency trader at a securities company, and I have struggled in the professional trading field. Now I am a full-time FX trader, trading seriously every day.
My trading style is mainly ultra-short-term scalping, and it’s not rare to place 100 trades a day; on average I conduct tens of thousands of trades per year. Interestingly, in my impression, my trading skills feel like they upgrade a level each time I experience around ten thousand trades.
The pace of improvement slows as one gains more experience, and it’s not a straight upward line, but rather a process where after a certain period of training, skills improve in a stair-step manner. Through a huge number of daily trades, I strongly feel that short-term trading is a specialized skill, and that there are tricks to becoming proficient in trading.
Just as specialists in certain crafts gradually improve their techniques over time, trading also progresses and improves. If that is the case, I want to advance my progress as efficiently as possible. Therefore, in this article I would like to share my views on “the steps to mastering trading.”
