Quitting Forex

After years in the Forex market, I’ve decided it’s time to walk away. Yes, I’m leaving. The chaotic and irrational price action has worn me down. It’s no longer something I enjoy. At this point, I honestly can’t stand this market.

Will I keep trading? Probably. But not Forex. This market just doesn’t make sense to me anymore, and because of that, it no longer makes sense to be on Forex Factory.

To all my friends and trading buddies, I genuinely wish you the best. And to the ones who didn’t treat me right, I wish you the best too—just not quite as much. Lol. Just kidding.

Take care.
Learn from your mistakes and march on.

Sau nhiều năm trên thị trường Forex, tôi đã quyết định đã đến lúc phải rời đi. Vâng, tôi sẽ rời đi. Diễn biến giá hỗn loạn và phi lý đã làm tôi kiệt sức. Đây không còn là điều tôi thích nữa. Đến thời điểm này, thành thật mà nói, tôi không thể chịu đựng được thị trường này nữa. Tôi sẽ tiếp...
I have been trading for 18 years now, after many efforts I have achieved success. In 2 years I have succeeded with a profit of 110%, with a total of 7300 orders. I have advice for you, trade only one currency pair, and focus only on that one trading code, also trade for a certain period of time, or find trading codes with little volatility, not too much volatility.

If I may offer some unsollicited advice. It took me a very long time to realize this. I dont even know where to start or how to say what I want to say lol. I've also moved away from forex this year to focus more on the stock market. I recommend you to open ANY chart of the major stocks. Zoom out. What do you see? When I was listening to podcasts, interviews or whatnot, most traders would say: "the edge is right in front of you". Then my GF began making money with the classic DCA strategy (investing every 2 weeks in the same ETFs with some diversification, a proven strategy that stood the test of time for 100 years+). In 2 years, she made more money than I did in 5 years of trading lol. This got me thinking. What if the edge was really right in front of me...

So I ask you, what do you see? The edge is right there. Just have to open your eyes. You can PM me if you want to chat

Just stick with swing trading blue chip stocks and you can’t go too wrong.
Future’s is the most honest market in my opinion but the win rate there is no better than Forex and you still have to deal with high leverage and crappy price action movements you already hate.

Forex is a market of balance. At first I thought the underlying nature was mean reversion. Deviations or trends are the inefficiencies of the market which creates the volatility for mean reversion to occur. Most of the time this mean reversion can completely go against all fundamentals and technical strength. Strong deviations caused by news that stretch all EMAs from the 200. Id definitely find a better way to perceive volatility and adjust dynamically for it, something beyond ATR multiples which don't really mean anything. Most people in forex can only trade with the trends which is why they will revert to gold or stocks. I think the magic with forex is the fact that it almost has no sensical structure in reality and can deviate with sensitivity from sudden unpredictable news. Risk Management is the crème de la crème of forex.

What I see is that you're trying to trade the past 20 years. Today's M1 >>> what edge do you see?

Hi @here2there, it would be a shame if you didn't stick with it. I believe the only meaningful market to trade is FX. A combination of futures data and currency meter. It doesn't get any better than that.

Trading forex or futures is not easy.

If TA or PA work many will be rich.

Instead most traders lose and quit.
Is it 90+% losers?

Cheers
Know what you trade

If you don't learn how to lose, you won't succeed in other markets either.

the successful Trader wins by being an expert at losing

I understand what you are trying to say, but its different. Stocks, good stocks, inherently go up. Stocks have a natural side, the long side. FX doesnt. FX is messy and is all over the place. You are showing me a downtrend on the m1 but it could very well be a minor retracement in the grand scheme of things. And yes, it does matter before you say it doesnt lol The M1 is meaningless. 4 pips stop to get 10 pips. Swaps, spreads, news, ANYTHING can take you out. The trend isnt found on the M1.

Im happy if this works for you, im just not a believer

That is perfectly OKEY. Trading is not for everyone. But if I'm talking to you one on one.. my question to you is... "Why not stay for a while.. and make little changes of the way you used to do things?"..

You have a system which makes millions and refused to share on the "I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge | Forex Factory" You could help him with that but choose to share a video. Isn't it hypocritical to try and seem to offer help but offering none whatsoever.
