What I Wish I Knew When I Started Trading 在新手交易员中 Feb 23 at 09:33

That’s a great way to put it. Survival really is the foundation — without capital preservation, there’s no opportunity for the edge to play out over time.I also like your point about things getting “calmer” once leverage and risk are controlled. Many traders underestimate how much psychological pressure comes purely from oversized exposure. When risk is reasonable, decision-making improves naturally.Interestingly, I’ve seen traders progress faster once they shift from chasing returns to protecting capital first. The consistency tends to follow after that.Cur...

Why Most New Traders Fail (It’s Not the Strategy) 在新手交易员中 Feb 21 at 09:21

That’s a very solid perspective. Screen time really is what converts theory into instinct. Many traders understand their rules intellectually, but under pressure the brain defaults to comfort behaviors instead of process — like you said, it’s usually inexperience rather than lack of discipline.Borrowing structure temporarily can definitely help bridge that gap. Whether through a signal provider like SureShotFX or studying verified performance on Myfxbook, seeing how trades are managed in real conditions can accelerate learning compared to trading without guidance.Long term th...

What Causes Most Trading Account Failures? 在一般中 Feb 21 at 09:19

I completely agree with that. Leverage amplifies both the edge and the mistakes, and when emotion gets involved the combination can become destructive very quickly. One oversized position during abnormal volatility can erase weeks of disciplined trading.What’s interesting is that when risk per trade stays small and consistent, psychology naturally improves because the pressure drops. Traders make clearer decisions when a single outcome doesn’t threaten the account. In many cases, consistency problems aren’t strategy issues — they’re exposure issues.That’s al...

How do you manage risk during high-impact news events in forex trading? 在新手交易员中 Feb 19 at 11:30

That’s a very realistic way to look at it. A lot of traders underestimate how much execution conditions change during news — spreads widen, liquidity thins out, and fills can be far from expected prices. Even a good directional idea can turn into a bad trade purely because of execution risk.Waiting for the “dust to settle” often shifts trading from gambling to structured decision-making, which is where consistency usually improves. Keeping risk small during those periods makes a huge difference long term.I’ve also noticed traders perform better when they already h...

How do you manage risk during high-impact news events in forex trading? 在新手交易员中 Feb 19 at 11:29

I agree with this approach. The first spike around news is often more about liquidity imbalances than true directional intent, and that’s where a lot of traders get trapped — especially with spread widening and slippage affecting execution quality. Waiting for structure to form after the initial impulse usually gives a more realistic read of market conditions.Position size reduction is also underrated. Volatility changes the risk profile completely, so using normal exposure in abnormal conditions is where many accounts take unnecessary damage.One thing I’ve noticed is that tr...

Why Most New Traders Fail (It’s Not the Strategy) 在新手交易员中 Feb 19 at 11:25

That’s a very good point. Screen time definitely plays a big role in moving from “knowing the rules” to actually executing them under pressure. Until experience builds, the gap between intention and action can be huge.I also agree that borrowing structure temporarily — whether through a signal provider like SureShotFX or by studying verified performance on Myfxbook — can help traders understand positioning, risk control, and trade management in real conditions. That exposure often accelerates learning compared to trading blindly.Long term though, the key shift see...

Why Passing a Prop Firm Challenge Is Easier Than Keeping the Account 在中 Feb 19 at 06:49

Something I’ve noticed with prop firm trading is that passing the challenge phase is often not the hardest part — maintaining consistency after funding is.The pressure changes once real capital is involved:• Fear of losing the account• Overtrading to hit targets faster• Increasing risk after drawdown• Trading during high-impact news without a clear planMany traders actually have a profitable approach, but inconsistent execution under pressure becomes the problem.What helped me personally was having strict rules around risk exposure and when not to trade. Removin...

The Martingale strategy i good? 在新手交易员中 Feb 19 at 05:48

Martingale can look attractive at first because the win rate is usually high — losses get recovered quickly when the market retraces. The real problem isn’t the strategy itself, it’s the risk of ruin.In forex, trends can extend much longer than expected, and during those periods Martingale position sizing grows exponentially. That’s where accounts usually blow up. What works in a casino over a short session doesn’t translate well to financial markets with variable volatility and leverage.It becomes even more dangerous in prop firm environments because drawdown lim...

Why Consistency Is Harder Than Profitability in Trading 在一般中 Feb 18 at 22:18

Something I’ve noticed over time is that many traders can actually be profitable for short periods, but very few remain consistent long term.The difference usually isn’t strategy — it’s execution and discipline.Small rule violations add up:• Increasing lot size after losses• Moving stop losses• Overtrading during volatile sessions• Trading during news without a clear planThese behaviors slowly destroy performance even if the strategy itself has an edge.One thing that helped me improve was creating strict rules around risk and when not to trade.

What Causes Most Trading Account Failures? 在一般中 Feb 18 at 22:17

After observing different traders, I’ve realized most account failures don’t happen because of bad strategies. They happen because of risk mismanagement during abnormal conditions.High leverage, news volatility, emotional decisions, and lack of structured rules usually cause the damage.Interestingly, traders often perform better when they reduce decision pressure and follow predefined rules consistently.In your opinion — what’s the biggest account killer: psychology, leverage, or lack of edge?

Why Most New Traders Fail (It’s Not the Strategy) 在新手交易员中 Feb 18 at 22:15

After watching many traders start their journey, I’ve noticed something interesting. most failures don’t come from bad strategies. They come from inconsistent execution.Traders change rules, move stop losses, over-leverage, or revenge trade after losses. Even profitable systems can fail under emotional pressure.One of the biggest improvements comes when trading becomes rule-based instead of emotion-based. Whether manual or automated, structure creates consistency.Protecting capital should always come before chasing profits.For those who are new — what challenges are you facin...

What I Wish I Knew When I Started Trading 在新手交易员中 Feb 18 at 22:14

When I first started trading, I thought the hardest part would be finding a good strategy.Over time, I realized the real challenges were completely different:• Risk management• Emotional control• Consistency• OvertradingMost beginners focus too much on entries and indicators, but survival in trading comes from capital protection first. A simple strategy with good risk control will outperform a complex strategy with poor discipline almost every time.Another thing that helped me improve was creating structured rules around when to trade and when not to trade — especiall...

What is Your Thought on Using Signal Provider Services? 在新手交易员中 Feb 18 at 22:11

Interesting perspective. I think signal services like United Kings and SureShotFX can definitely help in the early stages, especially for understanding trade timing and market behavior. The main issue I’ve seen over time isn’t profitability — it’s dependency.Many traders get used to copying entries without fully understanding risk exposure, so when conditions change or the provider has a drawdown period, they struggle to adapt. That’s usually where accounts get damaged.From a prop firm perspective, relying purely on signals can also be risky because consistency ru...

How do you manage risk during high-impact news events in forex trading? 在新手交易员中 Feb 18 at 22:06

Well said. News periods are where risk management discipline really shows. Many traders focus on catching the move but ignore the execution risks — spread widening, slippage, and liquidity gaps can invalidate even good setups.One thing I’ve noticed, especially with prop firm trading, is that performance improves when there’s a strict protocol around news — either no trading at all or predefined conditions only after volatility normalizes. It removes impulsive decisions.Reduced sizing is huge too. Same strategy, different environment = different risk profile.Do you usual...

How do you manage risk during high-impact news events in forex trading? 在新手交易员中 Feb 18 at 22:04

Completely agree with this.The first spike is usually liquidity grab + spread expansion, which is where many traders violate their rules without realizing it.One thing I’ve noticed, especially with prop firm accounts, is that consistency around news improves a lot when execution becomes rule-based instead of emotional. Either you stay out completely or you trade predefined conditions only after volatility stabilizes.Position sizing adjustment is key too — most drawdowns during news come from normal lot sizes used in abnormal conditions.Do you usually focus on specific news events (...
