I can see that happening. And the Forex market is becoming harder to trade because of it. Many Forex traders are moving over to crypto.
Learn from your mistakes and march on.

My concern is US citizens may end up being regulated out of the crypto market. The greedy SEC is screwing us all over.

The SEC has not screwed us over at all,
It is us who have failed to get legal representation at the right time,
To argue our case, so we have no one to blame other than ourselves, my friend.

That thread it is also called the Fantasy Thread. In there, you will find the biggest density of forex bilionaire, trilionaire and bilion-trilionaire in the entire world. The minimum lot size in there is 100 lots. But usually they trade 300, 500 and even 1000 lots at once.

The only thread that competes with this one, is Amazing Strategy of Merlin. You can start in there if you want lol.

friendly advice - trade stocks. simple strategy - buy the dips. trade blue-chip companies like MSFT, AAPL, CRM, FB etc wait when stock drop 5% - buy. never sell those good companies. if still go down an additional 10% - buy again (good stuff now costs even cheaper). Do not use leverage. use platforms like etoro, revolut or robinhood. If missed entry... still go down... never sell... wait. wait even 3-6 months. If no leverage is used - no swaps. some stocks pay good dividends - for example VZ or IBM. Just keep your stocks and wait.

forget about daily living from fx trading. that's not possible if small capital. all who brag and tell it is possible - lie. nobody of them cant prove with some accounts statistics. just cheap talking. trade stocks and be safe.

with this buy dips strategy for good companies stocks you need no indicators and no line drawing on chart... very simple approach for newbies. nothing to learn n years.

you can earn about 40% yearly trading stocks with buy dips strategy. use compounding and scale year by year. after 10-20 years will have good capital. no short-term success here is possible. all who promise you a fortune in 1-2 years - lie.

read my profile -see all my posts will see a lot of examples and info regarding stocks trading.

That seems to be a good strategy for trading stocks. I am planning on getting into stocks.

Truth? "Thumbs Up" if you are in on this journey or have been though this journey. Comment at what stage you are in.

Given up already? Do yourself a favour by looking at this chart again. Hope this will motivate some of us/brothers in the game.

Hi pipibrasci

Nice description of a pathway a profitable trader follows.
I do feel many profitable traders may still have a bad month a year due to ill described, so the odd dip below the line with a few holes in the trading room wall will be expected.
Make sure you keep good buddies with any plasters because you make need to call him once or twice a year.

I still have a hole in the wall unfixed from January, where is his number?

Cheers

"Veteran" traders tend to think they are at the maturity/optimisation stage. The reason is their account show profit and they are full of knowledge, experience and skill to make money.

Assume you're a "veteran" roulette gambler. You know all the systems betting don't work since you spent years testing and learning the math. Then you turn to advantage play, acquire the knowledge and skill. You begin to see profits and less losses. You feel you are now more knowledgeable and have gained the required skill. You begin to gamble for a living full time at the roulette tables racking up profits month after month. You think of yourself as a pro gambler.

There's no difference between "successful" AP gambler and Forex trader. However, there are only a handful of gamblers and traders(0.01%) who are truly successful that made money that change their financial status and retain it. The rest fall under this category of "veteran" gamblers or Forex traders.
Know what you trade

It boggles the mind HOW so many people managed to EVEN think they can communicate when their eloquence is mediocre at best. and their message is nothing original. It's like they go thru life without the basic capability of thinking.

the most a person can hope for is to remember as much as possible and write down everything else. Since i started looking around i've noticed that many things repeat. Maybe some traders with long history are like you describe here, but i gotta say some have made wisdom while others just want money. maybe sometimes its not about trading.
I believe simple is best
