I became over confident after an awesome week trading. I then increased by Lot size to 1.0 Lot thinking I was going to be a millionaire soon but the markets thought better. I lost a lot. I ended up revenge trading and losing my whole account. Sad times but a useful lesson

In Forex trading, u should put away your thought that your entry would be perfect and sharp entry.
Just think, if so many of us thinking like u, sure many unregulated brokers are close down now.
Too many having perfect entry 😂

I would settle for an imperfect entry as long as I got the direction right. Just knowing that I could make 50pips a week every week would be incredible for me

I find that I get direction right but the stop loss wrong. So if a go Long with a stop loss of 20 pips the price will fall 25 pips and then reverse and head upwards :(

It is easy to become overconfident when you are lucky and make a huge pile of money
But is is even easier to lose it that way.

When you didn't find the solution, lesson is the one. And if you don't want to go wrong in the first place, catch the valuable advises as much as you can. :)

You have to have good trading plan
You have to stick to it.
Was the trade size increase part of your trading plan, it was not, right?

Continuous education plus experience is the key to getting Forex right. No guarantees you will but without that you will definitely fail

Very true. Continuous education is more like a theory part which is pretty boring. But if done continuous learning with continuous experience, it becomes interesting plus knowledge is growing fast and may become good trader if strategy + logic + management is good.

Overconfidence is dangerous.
Trading without knowledge is even more so.
Just ask me. 😳

Right. No knowledge and incomplete knowledge both can be detrimental to our trading prospects.

Overconfidence can be fixed by using a strict trading plan. I insist that my Lot size is a fixed percent of my account. This means that I won't go crazy after a good week

Don’t get influenced by the results of current trades and events and ignore the past information. This thing will be problematic if your trading is affected by your fixation on your current winning or losing trades.

There is no easy way to consistent profit.
I see it quite often. At the start of trading beginners luck, making 10, 20 or even 50% a week.
Trading on demo, being relaxed, trying to apply the same approach to real trading, failing to do so,
losses as results and panick.
I love my trading robots whose allow me to avoid all that :)
