Expectations

How did you expect the market to react this week with the ongoing US elections? Did it match any of your expectations?

Just expected to move and hoped to catch the trend. I did. Went really good. U?

Expect volatility with the US elections. It could have potential impact on policies that can move the economy and markets.

The market may be in a lot of volatility this week. If the market is volatile, you have to trade very carefully.

Such moments always become a certain shake for the market. And it is at this moment that you can see that something unexpected and strange is happening. And it can become a great stress.

I didn't see the type of volatility that I expected.
However, I am used to the market not meeting my expectations on occasion.😁

It is imperative to be flexible and adjustable as a Forex trader in any regard.

Thank you all for your contribution to the topic.😎

I was expecting the market to move but I was lucky enough to catch the trend. Doing good so far.

Luck won’t be in your favor all time. So, try to find something permanent solution like proper trading plan.

All as usual.
Someone is happy.
Someone is not.
But the market has already become more stable.

Absolutely, I personally dont like to give credit to luck in trading. I believe luck favours those who work hard, so is the case in trading. No results can be achieved without working for it.

I think after the virus situation we should get used to the fact that everything is unstable and complicated.
Everything is fine.
These are working moments.

I had some expectations and they were somewhat met. Let’s see what happens with the volatility this week.

Market never remains steady. I always have to face losses.

This is true but you can avoid losses with proper strategy,

It is important to understand that often traders expect too much from their work. But expectations are not always met.

Well, it's getting harder and harder to predict the further price movement, because nowdays the market is very volatile. It depends on various aspects, starting from covid-19 and ending with season. The fall is always a very tough period for traders, because the fluctuation of assets is pretty high. I believe, that it also can be connected with the new altcoin era which is coming, however it affect mostly cryptocurrencies. We can expect only two things, whether market goes down or goes up. There are no other options actually, so if we see that there is a crisis of semiconductors and China was taxed once again, we can expect the fall of assets of tech companies for example.

Keeping expectations is fine but unrealistic expectations will never help you accomplish your dreams.

I agree with you.

unfortunately, in most cases, our expectations do not coincide with reality
