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 :)
How do you get robots to really be long term consistent? Surely purely mechanical systems do not work. The market is constantly changing and is more subtle than simple rules can understand

There are several deveoplment phases. Overall it takes me ayear to use robot on real account.
And yes I am profitable with the same strategy since 2013...

There is no ending point on gathering own trading knowledge; besides, learning from own trading mistake is the best practice!

Many traders, after a several wins become overconfident and and start to think that they are trading guru. Almost always, the fall is painful and severe. But only a fall helps to overcome excessive confidence... Or sometimes that may be other people who will help to realize the real problem.

Guilty. I used to be overconfident when I kept winning, but I think it is a normal reaction because we tend to get excited after winning few. It is good if you have overcome that overconfident and trade with ease.

On the forum I recently came across some interesting tips why traders fail. There were only 4 of them, I don't remember exactly what was there, but the fourth advice was that most traders become overconfident. Everything should be reasonable and confidence should be as well. This vice threatens you with as due to excessive self-confidence and your trading talent you can risk putting too high leverage and blown almost all your money. If not all your money at all... So good traders need to pay attention to when their self-confidence hurts them.

This is very true, but then again, isnt overconfident part of emotions which you need to take in control of?

Well said. confidence is good but over confidence is dangerous and many of us become over confident initially when we get 3-4 consistent success.

I agree, just had 32 consecutive wins and then I lost 2 in a row, got over confident maybe, well the second loss was a revenge trade.
But still learning, blew a 100k demo, then a 200 EUR live so here I am humble trying to figure how to rid emotions with this demo, + some risk management as that would help with my under confidence in open trades, exit 2 soon.
Basically I am over confident entering and under confident once a trade is running in the green.
Hope i learn as really want to do a live account again.

I have problem with overconfidence.
I put too much confidence in my systems so when they trade I do not interfere and sometimes I regret that.
But still all systems are backtested and analyzed for 5 years period and some losses are simple part of trading.
It is hard t find proper level of interference, so when you let your EA do everything and when you step in and for example close trades at BE.

As long as good risk management is used then over confidence can be controlled. I find revenge trading is more damaging than over confidence
Revenge trading only blows up your account.

Overconfident is the most dangerous thing in the forex market. Confident is good but overconfident can put you in great danger. I think, there is no space for overconfident in the forex market.
