❌Trading Mystery: Why 95% Of You Will Fail❓
🟥The world of forex trading holds immense allure - the promise of financial freedom and the opportunity to make money from the comfort of your own home. However, it is no secret that the path to success in forex trading is treacherous, with estimates suggesting that a staggering 95% of traders fail to achieve their desired outcomes. So, what exactly goes wrong for these aspiring traders? Let us unlock the creative narrative behind this apparent mystery and delve into the reasons that prevent them from cracking the code.
♦️Lack of Proper Education:
Just as successful carpentry requires the right tools, so does forex trading. Many traders dive into the financial ocean without a true understanding of its currents, waves, and hidden dangers. They overlook the importance of acquiring comprehensive knowledge about markets, technical indicators, risk management, and strategies. Without a firm grasp of these essentials, traders unwittingly chart a course for disaster.
♦️Emotional Tempests:
Imagine being a captain of a ship, navigating treacherous waters while being plagued by anxiety and fear. Forex trading is not for the faint of heart. As the markets fluctuate, traders battle their own emotions, succumbing to impulses that lead to impulsive trading decisions. Greed, fear, and overconfidence can cloud judgment, causing traders to buy or sell impulsively rather than relying on calculated analysis. Emotion-driven trading inevitably leaves traders shipwrecked amidst the unforgiving tides of the forex market.
♦️Unforeseen Volatility:
The forex market is a living organism that reacts to an array of factors, from economic data to geopolitical events. These dynamics can send currency values into a frenzy, defying logic and leaving traders bewildered. Sudden fluctuations, unpredictable trends, or unexpected policy decisions can capsize even the most astute trading strategies. By underestimating volatility, traders find themselves drowning rather than riding the waves.
♦️Inadequate Risk Management:
Imagine moving forward without a life jacket while navigating choppy waters. This risky endeavor can lead to dire consequences, just like trading without proper risk management. Successful traders understand the importance of setting stop-loss orders, managing trade sizes, and allocating a portion of their capital to each trade. Those who disregard risk management find themselves sinking beneath the weight of their poor decisions.
♦️Overreliance on Automation:
In recent years, the rise of automated trading systems has piqued the interest of aspiring traders. While these algorithms can streamline processes and enhance efficiency, they are not a guarantee of success. Blindly relying on automation without understanding how it works or constantly monitoring its performance may result in unexpected losses. It is essential to strike a balance between human insight and technological support.
🟥The realm of forex trading is a captivating one, tantalizing traders with elusive riches. However, becoming part of the 5% who succeed requires diligence, perseverance, and a deep understanding of the whimsical nature of the market. One must embark on this journey by arming themselves with knowledge, taming their emotions, embracing volatility, implementing effective risk management, and balancing human intuition with automation. Only then can traders hope to navigate the tempestuous seas and emerge victorious in their pursuit of forex trading success.

Fail
Education: The 90-90-90 rule - Why do traders fail?" Many are called, but few are chosen ". Ever heard this proverb?
This is certainly true for trading, in fact, there is even a rule in trading about this, the 90-90-90 rule. So what does this rule say?
" 90% of traders lose 90% of their money in 90 days "
😱😱😱
That's right, statistics show that 90% of people who start trading lose the majority of their money in less than 3 months. But why is that so? In this post I will try to lay out the reasons for failure, if you are a new or struggling trader, I'm sure you'll find this useful. Let's get into it ...
🤯 EXPECTATIONS
Many start trading because they've seen or read about success stories, people becoming rich overnight, they might even have a friend who has been successful in trading and they think (to say it in Jeremy Clarckson's famous words) " How hard can it be? . With this approach, failure is imminent...
📐 NOT HAVING A PLAN
" If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail - Benjamin Franklin. Trading without a plan results almost certainly in failure. Your trading plan should include the definition of your setup, entry, stop loss, profit taking, trade management, risk management and money management.
🔄 NOT TESTING YOUR PLAN
OK, you have determined how you will trade, what defines your entries and exits, how much of your capital you will risk and how you will manage your trades. But do you know what is the expectancy of that plan? Do you know how much trades you will win on average, and how many you will lose? How much money can you expect to make?
Backtesting your plan, executing it flawlessly time after time on historical data will give you that information and the confidence to execute your plan time and time again without hesitation.
😱 EMOTIONS - THIS IS THE BIG ONE!
If did not take the time to create a trading plan and backtest it, you don't really know what you are doing and emotions will have the best of you.
Fear, greed, hope, excitement, anxiousness, boredom and frustration will drive your hard earned capital away from you.
Results of these emotions are : trading too much, letting your losers run and cutting winners short, revenge trading, overleveraging etc...
I could write an entire post about each of the emotions and how they can affect you while trading, but it would make this post too lengthy. Just know that emotions are your biggest enemy when trading, for best results you should be in a stoic state when trading.
🕺 EGO
" The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. ". If you want to prove the market that you are right, you are doomed to fail. The market is always right, no matter what happens, so you better learn to accept that your analysis or prediction of what would happen was wrong and cut your losses. Fast!
📚 LACK OF EDUCATION
It takes many years to learn a skill or a profession, trading is no different. If you think about making lots of money without putting the time in to learn and test, you pretty much guarantee yourself to fail.
You wouldn't want a lawyer without education to defend you in court, or a self-proclaimed surgeon who learned on YouTube to operate on you, would you?
💰 STARTING CAPITAL TOO LOW
If you're starting with a low capital, you will tend to try and make it grow fast, resulting in taking too many trades, too high of a risk, too high leverage. If you start with a low capital, you'll have to be OK with the fact that it will grow slowly and that it will take (a lot of) time to build up a sizeable account.
🚦 BUYING OR FOLLOWING SIGNALS
" There is no such thing as easy money. " You might think that you don't have the time to learn about trading, making and backtesting a trading plan. So why not follow signals?
Ask yourself what you know about this service? How profitable is it (and don't just go from the claims they make)? Do you know anything about the reason for a signal, why was it triggered?
Have you talked to other users who used the service, what do they think about it? Why is this person/company selling signals if they are so successful as they claim? Philanthropy ? 🤔
📉 INDICATORS OVERLOAD
Indicators can help you make decisions for trading, but too many indicators can and will lead to opposite signals or " analysis paralysis .
Most indicators are derived from price, so it makes sense to learn how to read price action and discover the story behind the candles.
🆕 THE NEXT SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME
You took the time to develop a trading plan and even tested it, but you run into a drawdown... Rather than counting on your experience and the expectancy that you know is there, you look for a new shiny method of trading, until the same thing happens again with this new method ... Rinse & repeat, never giving the chance for your original method, which you know was working when you tested it, to prove its worth ...
Alright, I think I have provided the main reasons why new or inexperienced traders fail. Knowing why they (or you) fail is one thing, doing something about it is not a small feat. But with enough dedication, persistance and the right mindset, you can prove these statistics wrong!

TESLA will go sub $50Intelligent investors are fleeing from the failed ideas of Tesla. As the works realises that environmentally damaging Lithium batteries are not a workable solution to our transport needs.
A string of out of control AI nightmare scenarios including Tesla cars that accelerated out of control hasn’t helped.
Rumours of Elon Musk developing a water splitting ‘Stanley Meyer’ type car appear to be false as Elon has often stated he thinks Edison was a better scientists than Tesla, he flaunts his scientific ignorance for all to see.
Recent speculation that Elon is, in fact, a low iq ‘fop’ spear to have been confirmed, even as he continues to promote a joke ‘dog’ coin crypto over the world’s most popular and successful cryptocurrency, Bitcoin - only cementing the publics opinion of him as a low iq ‘fop’.
Can Mr Musk climb out of the hole he has created?
Probably not.

Euro economic suicide Buying dept bills from the US to support their economy, and want to be a hero in the war of Ukrain vs Russia is pure economic suicede.
But good it was already known a tons of company's were exiting the EU beceause of their ridicelous tax paramid.
Only ministers in the EU could be so dump to bring it this far. The plan is to make a dessert from EU soil in 10 years. Ministers pockets are full, so no one gives a damn in their parlements. Admit it!
Wrong generation leading EU, no bachelor needet to see this.
Thanks alot, when are the first bombs going to fall on EU soil to make it official?
So we can go straight to .70 index this or next year.
BTCUSD 50K resistance zone is strong enough for dumpAs we said before resistance zone here is strong enough for dump But one important thing here is that some sellers and bears are getting in with opening short position here with stop losses around 50K--52K.
So as we can see we have a broken pattern to the downside and some good reversal patterns and candles that are forming here and these are a good sign for the market to see some corrections to our targets and support zones on the chart But we may have a little pump before that and then...
Notice: price can dump easily even now too.
DISCLAIMER: ((trade based on your own decision ))

Rate Chart and Order 0/10 (fail)Hi,
I've just started trading on TradingView, before that was on binance. Found Binance much easier to set order but their chart is ugly. Like old pixeled screen when you zoom out and blury image.So ive actidentally failed at order ofc Limit amount wasnt executed as i wanned : D ,but its fine 30e are at stake no biggie...
So how does my chart looks. Does it make sanse ? :( :)
BTC - Big fail - man up! There was some kinda flag or pennant in that. It didn't work. The point is that these
formations can fail.
I'm expecting rebellions and more downside on this time frame only.
If you're long on BTC on a daily time frame, what are you doing? You'd need a lot of 'bottle'.
Man up.
This post does not mean that BTC can't get to 20,000.
DOWNSHIFTIN 2008 GAZPROM WAS BOUGHT MOSTLY BY MAJORITARIES RELATED TO LEADING POWER
LACK OF MANAGMENT EFFICIENCY RELATED TO LEADING POLITIC POWERS THAT MADE IT NOT COMPETITIVE AND BASED ONLY ON THE BASIC PRICE OF MINERAL RESOURCES
AT THE LAST STAGE ALL PERSPECTIVE SOLUTIONS WERE LOST AS POLITIC FAIL
THE RESULT - FULL DOWNSHIFT BACK TO GROUND
$HMNY THERE IS NO BOTTOM FOR #MOVIEPASSTOXIC POS TURD BANKRUPTCY Just a few names to describe this decrepit dumpster fire. There is no hope, flee while you still can, don't even try to catch it for a deadcat bounce, all bounces are bull traps, repeat after me ALL BOUNCES ARE BULL TRAPS! Play at your own peril. If you do have the funds however by all means go short, its totally worth it :-)
End of the Bull Run or just a Correction?We've had a really good run over the past 2 weeks. Obviously we were over extended and due for some kind of pullback, but the 200 day MA acted as strong resistance once again. Overall this is a bearish sign, however, due the length of this bull move we could just have a correction and then attempt to break the 200 day MA once again. If we can break this point, then I will be bullish up to 11800, which is the next major resistance zone.
I still am under the impression that BTC has too much over head resistance at this point to turn completely bullish. If we can start using major resistance points as supports, then I would become more optimistic on the potential of a trend reversal. Clearly we are still within the bear trend, but you also can't ignore some of the bullish strength that's been displayed. But we can't simply go back up to 20k at this pace and I feel like it will be a long winded battle between the bulls and the bears. We will see though.
