Trading methods are the foundation for continuing to win
New traders who have just started FX tend to focus on where to enter and where to exit, that is, on trading methods.
Of course, a trading method with an edge (statistical advantage) is important, and this forms the entire foundation for ongoing investment success.
Because, with a method that has a negative expectancy, no matter how strong your psychology is or how skilled you are at money management, you will eventually go bankrupt.
However, as you trade in FX for a long time, the reality is that you often find that you cannot continue to win with just the method.
If you have been losing for a long period in FX, it is likely because your trading method has no edge.
If you usually win moderately but incur large losses when the forex market moves significantly, it is probably because money management is too lax and your psychology is an issue.
