{quote} I stand by this... Trading should be fun and full of laughter. If you can't force your mind to laugh, eventually your soul will be destroyed in these trades. Like many others, it seems My performance wasn't good today. I missed two trades. One of them just now, which would have given me 50 pips profit. In the past, I might have gotten nervous, but now I just laugh. It doesn't matter anymore. I've learned that unless I laugh, it's as if the market won't move in my favor. Nothing is worth taking so seriously {image}

You are right. Trading can feel simple or difficult—it all depends on how much you’ve learned. Losses are actually the biggest teacher, but only if you’re willing to learn from them. Without learning, everything will seem hard. Many people call trading “gambling” because they treat it like gambling: putting all their money into one trade without checking their balance, not knowing whether to buy, sell, or simply wait. Everyone wants to get rich in a single day, and that mindset turns trading into gambling.
A very simple example is driving: if you don’t know how to drive, it feels extremely difficult, but once you learn, it becomes easy. The same goes for trading—it all depends on whether you learn from your past, whether it’s profit or loss. Luck might work once or twice, but one day, without proper learning, all the money will be gone.

Let me give you an example: I think years ago (I don’t remember exactly how many), there was a thread on this site about a trading system based on daily candles, etc. I lost an account with that system and was extremely angry and upset... A while ago, I saw that thread is still active, & many people are still using it and making profits. But because I didn’t know proper risk management, was stubborn, and had a weak trading psychology, I used that system in the worst way possible. Now I understand that a system must suit me, my personality, and my capital size... I grew. The market forced me to grow. It’s as simple as that. This was my personal opinion. With respect.

Since we're all inspired to talk about the difficulties of trading, I'll leave you with a question... Why the hell are some of you trying to enter the market right before a FOMC news? Have you really learned anything yet?

Even if you lose all your money, you can always start again. Personally, I started over with $10 or $20 after repeated losses. The market taught me... I'm not saying going broke is necessary, but this is the growth process in this market. There's no sadness in it.

Guys this time the bears are goinbg to be in control, price has overextended although its in a bullish trend, the price will have to come down, and not only go up in a straight line, the people that are getting fomo, buying at high prices such as this, are going to learn the hard way when the price comes down.

Some people’s personality might be risk-taking and they trade based on market emotions. Personally, when Trump is about to speak, I either don’t trade, or I set my trades to risk-free, or I reduce the trade size. Basically, I don’t risk my money just because of market volatility caused by Trump’s words. I know someone who trades only on the news. On a normal day, they basically can’t trade at all Everyone has their own way. The important thing is to make money if we can. The market pays out to every type of personality, as long as it’s not stubborn.

I agree with this point. Many people say, “If I had a bigger balance, I would never lose and I’d always make huge profits.” But in my view, even if you have billions, if you treat trading like gambling, that money will still end up at zero. Account size never really matters—it all depends on you.

Believe it or not, I’ve blown 3 accounts in 3 different days just because I traded out of anger. But the same thing happened in reverse: there were times when I had only $7–$10 in my account, and within 2–3 days, I turned that into over $700. Why? Because in those trades, I controlled my emotions, stayed calm, and made decisions based on proper analysis. This happened not just once, but 2–3 times. Honestly, when I made those profits, I was more upset with myself for not always having the same self-control.

The simple truth is: trading doesn’t work with emotions, and it doesn’t work by copying others. You need to know your balance, your limits, and how much loss you can actually handle. Another big mistake I see is that many traders keep extending their stop loss when price comes close to it, but when it’s time to take profit, they close the trade too early. They don’t know how far to let profits run or how to shift a stop loss into profit.

Guys as we all know that trading isn't as simple as its tought to begainers like basic supply and demand and totaly basic ....(cuz thats the reason they lose money ) THE market makers Manipulate those concetps to make the retailers and beggainers lose ...... SO WHY DON't we trade the opposite of what we are tought or what the new traders are being tought ITs like being allignes with the market makers......... AND YES I AM NOT JOIKINGG just need your opinion
In my opinion, it is difficult to trade the opposite of what we think. We don't learn strategies/systems (PNF, SNR, engulfing, ichimoku, ICT, SMC, etc) only to contradict its signal (if the system says buy, are we going to sell then? and vice versa). Rather than trading the opposite of what we think, it is more reasonable to try putting ourselves as big guys. Unlike us retail traders, big guys cannot buy or sell anywhere due to the size of their orders. Big guys need liquidity hence they will hunt stop losses of retail traders. So try to think where majority of retail traders put their stop losses, those are where we want to buy or sell from. Of course it is easier said than done as big guys have all kinds of tricks to trap any kind of retail traders even the most disciplined ones.
