True. Confidence is good but overconfidence can be dangerous.

You never have to give up and always achieve results.

WHAT IS FOREX

1. Forex is a scam. The markets works as follows. The major banks like JP have one big (or multiple) client that needs to buy or sell a huge amount of a foreign currency; be it for business acquisitions or whatever else.

2. Bank provides the foreign currency to the client at a mark up. Which is their available offer. Usually hundreds of pips higher or lower. E.g., BOA is offering to sell you EURUSD at 1.1802 (as of today, June 22 4:06 am). EURUSD price now is 1.1211. 600 Pip difference.

3. After selling to client, the bank goes to the forex market to create the liquidity it needs to bring its portfolio back to normal. Since it had sold to the client. It needs to buy the currency it sold.

4. To do so, bank moves market up and down bouncing off Stop Loss Orders of us the retail traders. When we buy, the algo pushes price down. When we sell, it pushes price higher. Etc. Etc. Etc.
     
     - Not setting a SL doesn't help you as you have one anyways. The moment you open a trade, Algo already knows what is the price
      where your account reaches the -50% liquidation level. Here your broker closes your trade automatically. At a loss of course.

5. Bank does this all day long, 365 days a week. In a $7 Trillions / Day Market. So imagine how much they're making off of us gamblers. Because that's what Retail traders are.

WHY PEOPLE LOSE MONEY

1. Come to forex because they already struggle financially and are desperately looking for a solution to their problem.
        - They come across a YT video of some moron claiming to turn $500 into $20k in a week lol. And the gambler's mentality takes
          over from there

2. They do not have enough money to make forex trading worth while. Case of 99% of people. You need a lot of money. At least $100k to consistently make a living off this market.
        - Two traders sit down in the market. One has a $1 mln acct. And you have a $1 k account. Who do you think is going home
          without money that day?

3. People do not want to buy a course from someone who is transparent and has obviously proven to be making money in the market. Even if the trader is asking for just $10, people feel as though that's a million. As if the trader will take from his own time to invest it into someone that will definitely not give him any reward even if what the trader teaches him/her makes them a lot of money. But yet, people are willing to risk all their $, just like when they go to the Casino, with the little knowledge they got from watching a couple YT video lol. Then blow.


NOT TO BE NEGATIVE. I'M PROFITABLE IN FOREX BUT IM BEIGN REALISTIC WITH YOU. YOU HAVE +90% CHANCE OF LOSING MONEY IN THIS BUSINESS. IF YOU WANT TO GAMBLE FOR THE OTHER 10%, THATS ON YOU. If not, you're making the smart decision. You can always work and save. Then find something that pays you 1-10% a month as passive. Not easy to find but there are plenty of opportunities out there.


IF YOU WISH TO BE A GOOD TRADER

1. Phycology is more important than technical or fundamental analysis if you are a day trader.
- Phycology is not what you think. But the outside factors causing you to feel and behave in a certain way.

2. Before making the deposit. Ask yourself. Can I lose this money?

If you want to become successful in the forex market, you need to make a profitable plan. A good plan can make ypu rich.

To be a successful trader, you must deal with risk. The better you maintain the risk, the better you will lead to success. It is possible to make a lot of profit by trading by maintaining money management and risk management. If you want to succeed in trading, you should maintain these two things.

i think money management is the key. there are a lot of articles about it so i advise to read about it and apply to your trading strategy. having a good month or two in a row can happen with anybody and the opposite as well. you have to be prepared to survive even in hard times

Thanks So Much!!
