In the field of forex trading, there exists a significant cognitive paradox: the basic trading rules are extremely simple and can even be quickly mastered through a short learning period. However, the practical process from "mastering the rules" to "achieving stable profits" is extremely complex, requiring most traders to gradually adapt through a long period of trial and error. This contrast between "easy rules and difficult process" is a key entry point for understanding the essence of forex trading.

---

From a simple perspective, the core rules of two-way forex trading can be summarized as follows: First, a clear two-way trading mechanism. This means that traders can choose to "buy" (going long) or "sell" (going short) based on their judgment of the currency pair's exchange rate trend, without being restricted to a one-way "buy first, sell later" model. Second, basic risk management rules must be mastered, such as setting a "stop-loss" to limit the maximum loss on a single trade and using "position control" to prevent excessive capital tied up in a single trade. Third, profit logic must be understood. When the exchange rate fluctuates in the same direction as the position, closing the position yields a profit from the spread; otherwise, a loss is incurred. These rules require no complex professional background; ordinary traders can clearly understand them after one to two weeks of systematic study and even independently perform basic position opening and closing operations.
However, the simplicity of the rules contrasts sharply with the complexity of the practical process. This complexity stems from three core dimensions: uncertainty in the market environment. The foreign exchange market is influenced by multiple variables, including the global macroeconomy (such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy and Eurozone inflation data), geopolitics (such as regional conflicts and trade frictions), and capital flows (such as international capital's pursuit of high-interest currencies). It fluctuates continuously around the clock and has no fixed pattern. Even experienced traders find it difficult to accurately predict every market trend. Furthermore, human factors interfere with strategy execution. As mentioned above, human weaknesses such as greed and fear can interfere with strategy execution. These factors can lead to a mismatch between knowledge and action. Even if one clearly understands the stop-loss rules, fear of further losses may lead to delays in execution. Even if one masters a trend strategy, greed for excess returns may lead to deviations from the strategic logic. Furthermore, trading system adaptability presents significant challenges. The volatility characteristics of different currency pairs (such as the EUR/USD and the cross GBP/JPY) and the strategic logic for different trading cycles (such as day trading and long-term trading) vary significantly. Traders must consider their risk appetite, time, energy, and cognitive abilities to build a customized trading system. This process requires repeated trial and error, optimization, and is far more complex than simply learning the rules.
This paradox of "easy rules, difficult process" is essentially a gap between theoretical understanding and practical skills. Rules are the foundation of theoretical understanding, while the process is the test of practical skills. Only by bridging this gap can one truly understand the core logic of forex trading.
Forex trading, characterized by its "easy rules but difficult process," shares a strong resemblance to traditional chess games such as Go and Xiangqi. Both share the characteristic of "simple rules but difficult to master." The core of this similarity lies in the essential difference between "mastering the rules" and "applying skills."
Take chess competitions as an example. Whether it's Go's "encircling and capturing" strategy or Xiangqi's "chariot, horse, and cannon" maneuvers, the core rules can be learned in just a few hours: Go determines victory by placing pieces on the board to occupy space, while Xiangqi determines victory by maneuvering pieces to capture the opponent's general. The rules are logically clear and unambiguous. But in reality, even if most people read a large number of chess records and learn a variety of tactics (such as the "star position layout" in Go and the "middle cannon opening" in chess), it is difficult for them to defeat senior players in actual combat. This difference does not come from "lack of rule awareness" but from the gap in "ability to implement rules": senior players have formed the "ability to judge the chess game situation" (such as the "thickness" judgment of Go and the "capture of killing opportunities" in chess) through tens of thousands of actual combat games, "the ability to adapt tactical choices" (such as adjusting layout strategies according to the opponent's style), and "mental stability" (such as patiently dealing with disadvantageous situations). These abilities cannot be acquired through rule learning or chess record reading, but must rely on long-term actual combat accumulation.
The logic behind the skill differences between forex trading and chess is identical: a trader who "doesn't lose money" is essentially equivalent to possessing basic defensive skills in chess—meaning they have "implemented core skills." Specifically, this includes strictly enforcing stop-loss rules to avoid devastating losses on a single trade; identifying high-risk market scenarios (such as market fluctuations before major data releases) and proactively reducing positions or suspending trading; and selecting appropriate basic strategies based on the characteristics of currency pairs and trading cycles (such as "buy low and sell high" in volatile markets and "follow the trend" in trending markets), rather than blindly operating. At this point, the trader is no longer a "novice who merely masters the rules" but has entered the initial stage of "implementing core skills." They understand how to avoid losses but haven't yet fully mastered how to achieve consistent profits. This closely aligns with the stage in chess where one can avoid easily conceding, but struggles to proactively win.
The transition from "no losses" to "stable profits" aligns with the progression from "defense to offense" in chess: In chess, extensive real-world practice is required to improve one's ability to "judge situations" and "compose tactics" in order to shift from "refusing to admit defeat" to "actively winning." In forex trading, achieving "stable profits" requires further optimization of strategy precision (e.g., improving market analysis accuracy), strengthening mental stability (e.g., reducing the impact of human weaknesses on execution), and improving the integrity of the system (e.g., developing response plans covering diverse market conditions) based on the implementation of core technologies. The core of this process isn't relearning the rules, but the continuous refinement of one's abilities. Just as one can't become a master in chess solely through game manuals, neither can one achieve profitability in forex trading solely through rules.
In forex trading, a trader's "knowledge" is a special kind of "invisible wealth." It cannot be quantified with a specific number (e.g., cognitive level cannot be measured with a "number of points"), nor does it have a unified standard definition (e.g., different traders may have different understandings of "trends"). However, this "invisible wealth" is a core variable that determines trading profitability. When cognitive ability reaches a certain level (i.e., "high cognitive ability"), traders reach the critical point of "stable profitability." However, if cognitive ability does not reach this level, even if they master core technologies, it is difficult to achieve profitability.
From the perspective of the "non-quantifiable" and "flexible" nature of cognition, the core dimensions of forex trading cognition include: understanding the nature of the market, namely, understanding that the forex market's "fluctuations are irregular but trends are inherent"—volatility is influenced by multiple variables and cannot be accurately predicted, but in specific scenarios (such as the Federal Reserve's continued interest rate hike cycle), there are trend opportunities that can be captured; understanding strategic logic, such as understanding that the core of "trend strategies" is "following rather than predicting," and the core of "oscillation strategies" is "understanding the boundaries of the range," rather than pursuing "precise predictions of trading points"; understanding the nature of risk, namely, accepting that "losses are an inevitable part of trading" and viewing risk management as "the foundation of survival" rather than "an obstacle to profitability"; and understanding human weaknesses, such as clearly identifying one's own emotional weaknesses in trading (such as greed during profits and fear during losses) and establishing targeted coping mechanisms. These cognitive dimensions cannot be measured using a single standard, and the depth and breadth of cognition vary significantly among traders (for example, a novice may only understand the superficial rules of "risk management," while an expert can dynamically adjust risk exposure to adapt to changing market conditions). These cognitive dimensions continue to improve with accumulated practical experience, demonstrating a strong degree of flexibility.
This correlation between "implicit cognition" and trading profitability exhibits a "tipping point effect." Before reaching the "high cognition" level, traders may be in a "break-even" phase (core technology implementation) but struggle to achieve stable profits. For example, while they can execute stop-loss rules, their lack of understanding of "trend identification" leads them to frequently employ trend strategies in volatile markets, resulting in accumulating small losses. While they understand position control, their lack of understanding of "market liquidity" leads them to heavily position during periods of low liquidity (such as before weekends), incurring slippage losses. However, when cognition surpasses the "high cognition" critical point, traders achieve the transition from "break-even" to "stable profits." They can accurately judge market attributes (trend or volatility) and select appropriate strategies; dynamically adjust risk management measures to balance profit and risk; and effectively manage human weaknesses, achieving "unity of knowledge and action." At this point, this "implicit wealth" of cognition transforms into visible profitability. The higher the level of cognition, the more stable and sustainable the profits.
In essence, the logic of profit in forex trading is the monetization of "cognitive skills"—rules are the foundation of cognition, technology is the tool for implementing cognition, and cognition is the core driver of profit. Just as in chess, "depth of cognition determines skill," in forex trading, "depth of cognition determines profit." The accumulation of this "hidden wealth" is the essential path for traders to progress from "novice" to "expert."

In the two-way trading world of forex investment, many successful traders often do not want their children to pursue this career.

---

This choice is not based on distrust of their children, but rather on a deep understanding of the nature of the investment and trading profession. While investment and trading can bring lucrative returns, the process is fraught with challenges and uncertainty, placing extremely high demands on the individual's mental and physical abilities.
The training for an investment and trading profession is extremely arduous, comparable to that of an Olympic athlete. An athlete may reach their peak after a four-year training cycle and retire. But a trader's career is a marathon with no end. Traders must constantly be vigilant and adapt to the ever-changing market. This long-term, high-pressure state can lead to constant torment and anxiety. Therefore, many successful traders choose not to introduce their children to this field, but instead provide financial support for them through other means.
For many successful investors, mastering forex trading is like finding the secret to wealth. In theory, passing on these skills and experience to children seems a natural choice. However, this is not an easy task. Trading requires not only technical knowledge but also a deep understanding of the market and a strong mental fortitude. More importantly, it depends on whether the children have a genuine interest and passion for the profession.
If children do not have a strong interest and passion for trading, forcing them to learn and pursue it may cause them unnecessary stress and pain. Few of the world's top traders have children who inherit their careers. This demonstrates that success in trading relies not only on technical skills but also on a person's inherent drive and passion.
Personal interest and passion are among the most important factors in career choice. If children lack a natural interest in investment trading, even if they inherit their parents' wealth and experience, it will be difficult for them to succeed in this field. Instead, they may become frustrated and exhausted by their lack of interest. Therefore, many successful traders choose to pass on their wealth directly to their children rather than force them to inherit their career.
In the two-way trading of forex, successful traders often do not want their children to pursue this career, primarily due to the arduous and uncertain nature of investment trading. While successful investment trading can be considered a key to wealth, passing on this skill requires genuine interest and passion. If children lack interest in this field, forcing them to inherit it may place unnecessary pressure on them. Therefore, many traders choose to provide financial support for their children through other means rather than forcing them to inherit their career. This choice not only respects their children's personal wishes but also provides them with greater opportunities for development.

In the field of forex trading, a trader's growth and deepening of knowledge consistently follow a spiral path from "simple to complex and back to simple"—this path isn't a subjective choice, but rather a result of the complexity of the forex market and the multidimensional nature of trading skills. It's a necessary path for every successful trader.

The "simplicity" of the initial stage refers to a superficial understanding of the market and trading. At this stage, traders often believe that the core of forex trading is "judging the direction of price increases or decreases," simplifying their operational logic to "observing candlestick patterns and listening to market news." They mistakenly believe that mastering basic techniques like "buying on a moving average golden crossover, selling on a moving average dead crossover," and "entering the market after a resistance level breakout" will lead to profitability. This "simplicity" is essentially a "blank" in cognition - they have not yet realized that market fluctuations are affected by multiple variables such as the global macroeconomy (such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy and Eurozone inflation data), geopolitics (such as regional conflicts and changes in trade agreements), and capital flows (such as international capital's pursuit of high-interest currencies). They also do not understand the decisive role of implicit abilities such as "position management, stop-loss and take-profit, and mentality control" in trading results.
The complexity of the advanced stage is the inevitable pain of deepening cognition and expanding capabilities. As real trading deepens, traders gradually discover that their initial "simple logic" is unable to cope with complex market fluctuations. For example, the same moving average golden cross pattern has a significantly different win rate across different currency pairs (such as EUR/USD and GBP/JPY), different trading timeframes (such as the 1-hour chart and the daily chart), and different market environments (such as before and after the release of non-farm payroll data). At the same time, repeated losses make traders realize the importance of "risk management" and begin to learn technical indicator combinations, fundamental analysis frameworks (such as the practical application of interest rate parity theory), money management models (such as fixed position and percentage position methods), and even try to use quantitative trading tools. The complexity of this stage is a "comprehensive exploration" of market variables and the "active filling" of one's own shortcomings. Traders need to select their own logic from a vast amount of information and diverse strategies. This process is often accompanied by confusion, trial and error, and cognitive conflicts, but it is the core stage of capability building.
The "simplicity" of maturity is a return to the essence of internalized cognition: after a long period of complex exploration and practical verification, traders will gradually shed the "superficial interference" of the market and grasp the core essence of trading. For example, they will no longer be obsessed with "accurate predictions." Instead of relying on "points," they focus on "identifying and following trend direction." They no longer rely on complex strategies that overlay multiple indicators, but instead develop a "simple and efficient trading system" (e.g., a decision-making logic centered around "trend lines + trading volume"). They no longer let short-term fluctuations disrupt their thinking, but instead control risk through "strict discipline" (e.g., fixed stop-loss ratios and a refusal to overtrade). This "simplicity" is fundamentally different from the "blank simplicity" of the initial stage: it is a "refinement and simplification" based on "complex cognition." It is the result of internalizing vast experience and diverse abilities into "instinct reactions." This manifests as "simple yet logically rigorous strategies, efficient yet manageable risks," and is a hallmark of mature trading ability.
In forex trading, "skipping the complex intermediate stages and directly entering the mature, simple stage" is a common misconception among traders. This misconception stems from confusing "paper knowledge" with "real-world skills." The world of forex trading ignores the irreplaceable role of the "complex stage" in building capabilities. The saying "Knowledge gained from books is shallow; true understanding requires personal experience" accurately embodies this logic.
Based on the law of cognitive transformation, core forex trading skills (such as market judgment, risk management, and mindset adjustment) are "practice-dependent"—they cannot be directly acquired through theoretical learning. For example, traders can quickly grasp the "mathematical logic of position management" (e.g., risking no more than 2% of account capital on a single trade) through books or courses. However, to dynamically adjust positions based on market fluctuations in real trading (e.g., reducing positions during high volatility and increasing them appropriately when trends become clear) requires extensive trial and error. Overcautiousness can lead to undervalued positions, missing out on trend gains, while overoptimism can lead to overvalued positions, magnifying the risk of losses. Only through repeated corrections can the "critical point of risk-reward balance" be found. The development of these skills is precisely what is needed. This is the result of the "practice-feedback-optimization" cycle during the "complexity stage" and cannot be achieved by skipping the complex stage.
From the perspective of comprehensive market understanding, the "complexity stage" is the process by which traders fully grasp the market's "multidimensional nature." The complexity of the foreign exchange market is reflected not only in the "multitude of influencing variables" but also in the "dynamic correlations between these variables." For example, a Federal Reserve interest rate hike not only directly affects the US dollar exchange rate but can also affect non-US currencies through "interest rate differentials," and indirectly affect commodity prices through "global capital flows," ultimately impacting commodity currencies such as the Australian and Canadian dollars. Only during the "complexity stage," by tracking the impact of different variables on the market and analyzing the transmission paths between them, can traders develop a "systematic market understanding" and avoid decision-making biases caused by "single-variable judgment." Skipping this stage means that even if one masters a mature "simple strategy," one will fail to understand the strategy's "boundaries of applicability." For example, a trend strategy fails in a illiquid, sideways market, ultimately becoming a matter of "rote execution, resulting in passive losses."
From the perspective of mindset management maturity, the "complex stage" is a crucial period for traders to cultivate a "rational mindset." Human weaknesses, such as greed (e.g., unwillingness to take profits when profitable, hoping to maximize returns), fear (e.g., fear of stop-loss orders when losing, fearing a market reversal), and luck (e.g., increasing positions against the trend, betting on a correction), are fully exposed during the "complex stage" of "alternating profits and losses." For example, a trader may become blindly confident after a single profit, expanding their position and subsequently losing, or they may become mentally overwhelmed by consecutive losses and abandon their effective strategies. It is in the process of navigating these mindset challenges that traders gradually learn to "use discipline to control their emotions" (e.g., strictly adhere to stop-loss and take-profit rules) and "approach outcomes with a probabilistic mindset" (e.g., accepting the uncertainty of individual trades and pursuing long-term winning odds). ), ultimately developing a "mature and stable trading mindset." Cultivating this mindset also requires a "complex phase" and is the inevitable result of practical experience.
In forex trading, it's common for multiple traders to trade the same currency pair at the same time, using the same direction and entry position, yet ultimately experience significant differences in their profits. This discrepancy isn't due to "luck," but rather to a combination of the traders' "depth of understanding" and "execution details." It's essentially a manifestation of "gap trading capabilities."
From the perspective of "depth of understanding," differences primarily manifest in the ability to assess market conditions and the integrity of strategy logic. For example, when buying long positions when the EUR/USD breaks through daily resistance, traders with varying depths of understanding will interpret the market completely differently. Traders with shallower understanding will simply view it as a "short-term breakout signal" and fail to consider the resistance level. The key factors include market acceptance (e.g., whether it is a key point that has been repeatedly tested), volume support during the breakout (e.g., whether it is accompanied by increased volume, confirming the validity of the breakout), and fundamental support (e.g., whether recent Eurozone economic data is positive, supporting the appreciation of the euro). Therefore, during a small market correction, traders are prone to prematurely closing their positions due to "fear of losses," missing out on subsequent trend gains. In contrast, traders with in-depth understanding will comprehensively assess the trend structure (e.g., an upward trend on the daily chart), capital flows (e.g., international capital increasing its holdings of Euro assets), and risk events (e.g., no Fed rate hike expectations, a weakening US dollar), and clearly identify the breakout as a "trend continuation signal." They can therefore withstand larger pullbacks and hold onto their positions to reap the full benefits of the trend.
From the perspective of "execution details," the differences are reflected in practical aspects such as stop-loss and take-profit (SL/TP) setting, dynamic position adjustment, and market response plans. First, the rationality of SL/TP settings— Traders with shallow knowledge may mechanically set a "fixed-point stop loss (such as 50 points)", without considering the "volatility characteristics of currency pairs" (such as the average daily fluctuation of GBP/JPY is 300 points, and a 50-point stop loss is easy to be wiped out; the average daily fluctuation of EUR/USD is 100 points, and a 50-point stop loss is relatively reasonable), which may lead to premature exit or risk loss; while traders with deep knowledge will set stop losses based on "support and resistance levels (such as setting the stop loss at the key support below the breakthrough level), volatility (such as dynamically adjusting the stop loss range based on the ATR indicator)", taking into account both risk control and position tolerance. Second, the flexibility of dynamic position adjustment - traders with shallow knowledge often use "fixed positions" (such as entering the market with 1 standard lot each time), without considering "account fund changes (such as increasing positions appropriately after making a profit, and reducing positions after a loss), market certainty (such as increasing positions in a high-certainty trend market, and reducing positions in a low-certainty volatile market)"; while traders with deep knowledge will adjust their positions based on "risk exposure (e.g., risking no more than 2% of account capital on a single trade) and market win rate (e.g., using historical backtesting to determine the strategy's win rate in the current market, and appropriately increasing positions when the win rate is high) are key factors in dynamically adjusting positions to optimize the risk-return ratio. Third, the completeness of market response plans – traders with shallow understanding tend to "take it one step at a time," failing to plan for scenarios like "pullbacks after a breakout, or reversals after a failed breakout." This leads to panicked decisions when the market fluctuates beyond expectations. Traders with deep understanding, on the other hand, will develop multi-scenario plans in advance, such as "add to positions if the breakout pulls back to XX point, or exit with a stop-loss if the price falls below XX point," ensuring consistency and rationality in their operations.
This difference in "depth of understanding + execution details" ultimately leads to divergent returns under the same trading scenario – revealing the core logic of forex trading: "Entry point" is merely the starting point, while "market understanding" and "detailed execution" are the key factors determining the outcome. This further reinforces the inevitability of "failing to overcome the complex stage"—only by deepening understanding and honing details during this complex stage can one narrow the gap with successful traders.
In the cognitive advancement of forex trading, there is a critical "cognitive tipping point." When a trader's accumulated experience and trial-and-error experience reach a certain threshold, their understanding of the market and trading reaches a "bottleneck." At this point, while theoretical knowledge is relatively complete and practical trading habits have been formed, they still struggle to overcome the dilemma of unstable profits and struggle to make the transition from "advanced" to "mature." However, the "unintentional" advice of successful traders can often become the key to overcoming this critical point, helping novices achieve a cognitive leap and refine their skills.
The essence of this "inspiration effect" is to "precisely address cognitive blind spots." The confusion experienced by novices during this bottleneck period often stems from a superficial understanding of a core principle. The unintentional words of successful traders often reveal the essence of this logic, creating a powerful wake-up call. For example, a novice may long struggle with accurately predicting market levels, trying various combinations of technical indicators with limited success. If a successful trader casually mentions, "The core of trading is following the trend, not predicting the price. When the trend is clear, small differences in entry points have minimal impact on final returns. The key is to grasp the trend direction and control risk," the novice may instantly realize their cognitive bias: previously over-focusing on "price accuracy" while neglecting "trend judgment" and "risk management." They may then adjust their trading logic, shifting from "price prediction" to "trend following," ultimately elevating their trading skills.
From a cognitive psychology perspective, the effectiveness of this "inspiration" relies on both the novice's prior experience and the successful trader's depth of experience. On the one hand, the novice's prior experience is more important than their prior experience. A trader needs to have sufficient prior experience—only after extensive real-world trading, experimentation with various strategies, and sufficient accumulation of confusion and reflection—can they understand the deeper logic behind "unintentional remarks." If a novice is still in the "initial, simple stage" and lacks practical experience, even if they hear the core insights of successful traders, they will find it difficult to resonate and achieve a cognitive breakthrough. On the other hand, the "unintentional remarks" of successful traders are a highly concentrated expression of their long-term experience. They are not complex theoretical systems, but rather a refined summary of the nature of the market and trading logic. For example, "The market will never move as you expect; all you can do is control your risk" and "Your attitude during a profit is more important than during a loss, because greed is more likely to drive people out of control than fear." These seemingly simple ideas contain successful traders' profound insights into human nature and the market, which can precisely address the cognitive blind spots of novices.
It is important to emphasize that "inspiration" is not necessarily a simple concept. "Substitution"—the casual advice of successful traders—can only help beginners overcome cognitive bottlenecks. However, subsequent "technical refinement" still requires practical verification and optimization. For example, after understanding the core of "trend following," actual trading is needed to verify "entry timing under varying trend strengths (e.g., weak vs. strong)" and "identifying trend reversal signals" to transform this knowledge into stable operational capabilities. This combination of "inspiration + practice" is the complete path to breaking through cognitive critical points.
In forex trading, traders often have a "two-or-three" misconception regarding "holding positions firmly through floating losses" and "cutting losses and letting profits run." They either absolutize "cutting losses" and simply "stop losses at even small losses" regardless of market conditions; or they misunderstand "holding positions firmly through floating losses" and stubbornly hold onto losses even during clear trend reversals, ultimately leading to strategy failure and account losses. In fact, These two strategies are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary tools suitable for different trading scenarios. The key lies in clearly defining their applicable boundaries.
"Cut losses and let profits run" is a well-known strategic principle in forex trading. However, its effectiveness relies on scenarios with short trading cycles, limited market fluctuations, and a clear and short-lived trend, such as day trading and short-term trading (1-3 days).
Applicable Logic: In short-term trading, traders seek "high frequency, small profits." Market fluctuations are significantly influenced by short-term capital flows and market sentiment, and trends are less sustainable (for example, a 1-hour trend may only last a few hours). If losses are not cut promptly, a single loss can wipe out multiple gains. At the same time, once a short-term trend forms, it often generates a certain amount of profit within a short period of time. "Letting profits run" can maximize the profit potential of a single trade.
Key Points: Stop-loss settings should be based on short-term support and resistance levels and volatility. For example, in day trading, set the stop-loss 1-2 times the ATR (Average True Range) below/above the entry point to ensure timely exit and control risk if the market moves against the trend beyond normal limits. For profit-taking, a trailing stop-loss can be used (e.g., after reaching a certain profit margin, move the stop-loss up to the entry point to lock in capital gains, then gradually move the stop-loss up to follow the profit).
"Holding on to a position despite a floating loss" is not "holding on to a loss"; it is applicable to long-term investments (e.g., 1-6 month cycles), currency pairs in a clear long-term trend, and floating losses resulting from short-term pullbacks rather than trend reversals. It is particularly suitable for long-term currency investments:
Applicable Logic: In long-term investments, traders focus on the long-term trend direction of the currency pair (e.g., based on macroeconomic predictions, the EUR/USD pair may have a future trend). (The EUR/USD pair will be in an upward trend for six months, likely due to a 6-month trend.) Long-term trends are inevitably accompanied by short-term pullbacks (e.g., a slight drop in the Euro due to short-term negative news). These floating losses are "normal fluctuations in the continuation of the trend" rather than a trend reversal signal. Blindly stopping losses due to short-term floating losses could result in missing out on subsequent long-term trend gains, violating the core logic of long-term investment.
Key Operational Tips: First, confirm the validity of the long-term trend through macroeconomic analysis and long-term technical patterns. For example, use daily and weekly charts to determine if the currency pair is in an upward/downward trend and has fundamental support (e.g., expectations of long-term Fed rate cuts support the appreciation of non-US currencies). Second, position control is crucial. Long-term investment positions should be smaller than those used for short-term trading (e.g., no more than 5% of account funds). Ensure that floating losses are within acceptable limits (e.g., a single floating loss should not exceed 10% of account funds). Finally, establish criteria for determining a trend reversal. If the weekly chart breaks below the long-term uptrend line or if there's a fundamental shift in fundamentals (e.g., expectations of an interest rate cut shifting to expectations of a rate hike), it's time to exit decisively rather than "holding on" firmly.
Many traders mistakenly interpret "cutting losses" as absolute. Even in long-term investing, they mechanically apply "stop-loss orders at small losses," leading to frequent stop-losses and missing out on long-term trends. Alternatively, they cling to floating losses in short-term trading, violating the principle of "cutting losses." The key to correcting this misconception is developing scenario-based thinking:
First, clarify your trading cycle and investment objectives. If you primarily trade short-term, strictly adhere to the principle of "cutting losses and letting profits run." If you primarily invest long-term, tolerate short-term floating losses and hold on firmly, provided you confirm the long-term trend.
Second, use multi-dimensional verification to distinguish between "short-term pullbacks" and "trend pullbacks." Trend reversals—In long-term investments, a comprehensive assessment can be made based on macroeconomic data (such as GDP growth and inflation), central bank policy trends, and long-term technical indicators to avoid misjudging short-term pullbacks as trend reversals, or mistaking trend reversals for short-term pullbacks. In short, "cutting losses" and "holding positions through floating losses" are not opposing strategies; rather, they are tools dynamically selected based on the trading cycle and market conditions. Only by clearly defining their applicable boundaries can we achieve "controllable risk and maximized returns" in different scenarios and avoid strategy failures caused by cognitive biases.

In two-way forex trading, even if a trader lacks innate talent, they can still achieve profitability through unwavering effort and a strong desire to make money. This strong internal driving force can motivate traders to invest more time and energy, gradually accumulate experience, and ultimately master the essence of trading. As the saying goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way." This unwavering belief and persistent effort are key factors for success.

Although forex traders may possess a high level of intelligence, success doesn't come overnight. Traders require long-term accumulation and cultivation in multiple areas, including a comprehensive knowledge base, a wealth of common sense, solid experience, and refined technical skills. Psychological training is also crucial; traders need to hone their mindset to cope with market volatility and uncertainty.
Technical knowledge can be gradually mastered through learning and practice, but psychological cultivation relies more on personal self-awareness and inner growth. This inner growth cannot be achieved through simple instruction; instead, traders must constantly experience setbacks, reflection, and adjustment in their own operations. As a wise man once said, "Knowledge can be taught, but wisdom must be learned."
Many skills and abilities are developed through long-term practice and accumulation, not just theoretical learning. For example, an athlete can be taught in detail by a coach, but without extensive training, the average person still cannot reach their level. This is because mastering skills requires extensive practice and experience, not just understanding the methods.
Similarly, in forex trading, even if expert traders share their methods and strategies with novices without reservation, it's difficult for the novice to truly master these techniques without actual practice and experience. Market operations and the development of trading systems rely not only on theoretical knowledge but also on the trader's fundamental skills and practical experience. If novices rely solely on the experience of others without personal experience, they will struggle to truly understand the complexities of the market and the essence of trading.
If forex trading could truly be easily profitable through simple learning methods, there would be no poor people in the world. However, this is not the case. Successful traders stand out because they have experienced long periods of practice, setbacks, and setbacks. Through practice and reflection, they gradually develop their own trading style and strategies. These experiences cannot be replicated through simple instruction; they require beginners to accumulate them through their own practice and experience.
Even if expert traders share their experiences and methods, it's difficult for beginners to grasp their essence without genuine market experience. Therefore, beginners need to learn and accumulate experience through their own practice, using real money, to truly master the art of forex trading.
In the two-way trading of forex, success doesn't rely solely on talent; it requires a strong inner drive and persistent effort. Knowledge and techniques can be gradually mastered through learning and practice, but psychological training and the accumulation of experience require continuous experience and understanding in real-world operations. Successful traders stand out because they have developed their own trading styles and strategies through long periods of practice and reflection. Therefore, beginners need to learn and accumulate experience through their own practice, using real money, to truly master the art of forex trading.

In the forex two-way trading system, a trader's advancement follows a clear growth path: starting with the deliberate cultivation of standardized trading habits, gradually developing a deep understanding of market fluctuations and strategy execution. Once operational proficiency reaches a certain threshold, it is further internalized into "muscle memory" that requires no deliberate thought, ultimately achieving reflexive, mechanical response to market signals. This process represents the core transition in trading ability from "conscious control" to "unconscious precision."

The core value of a forex trading mentor lies in helping novices avoid common industry pitfalls and shortening the learning cycle of trial and error through experience. However, their role is limited to "guiding the market." Typically, systematically imparting basic knowledge and building a framework takes only about a month. However, for traders to achieve a closed loop from "knowledge" to "action," truly establishing a trading system that suits their style and the decision-making ability to navigate complex markets, they require a decade or even longer of practical experience and mental cultivation. This "personal cultivation" stage is irreplaceable.
A common cognitive bias exists in the market: some instructors simply compare forex trading to "online shopping"—they believe that by paying a hefty fee (e.g., 100,000 yuan in "tuition"), they can learn shortcuts to "buying low-priced goods." However, from a rational perspective, traders don't need to rely on such paid guidance: by independently studying market trends, comparing historical trading data, and analyzing peer practices (similar to "reading buyer reviews"), they can also build an effective trading knowledge system, and the skills developed in this process are more stable and adaptable.
Returning to the essence of forex trading, the aforementioned progressive path of "habit - tacit understanding - muscle memory - conditioned reflex" is the core logic for achieving long-term profitability. However, in their rush for quick results, many traders ignore the time and practical value of this process, instead falling into the blind pursuit of "short-term shortcuts"—the key to trading failure. True trading ability is never "purchased" but rather the result of continuous practical review and cognitive iteration.
