In the two-way trading field of foreign exchange investment, most traders are freelancers. Choosing this career path often comes with numerous challenges and considerations.

---

Forex trading is not only challenging, but also faces challenges such as low social recognition and a lack of traditional social status. Furthermore, those engaged in forex trading may face certain awkwardness in social interactions, as this profession often lacks sufficient "prestige" in the public eye.
However, forex trading also has its unique advantages. One of the greatest benefits is freedom. Traders are not bound by traditional work schedules, need not punctually go to get off work, and do not have to rely on others' opinions in the workplace. This freedom provides traders with a great deal of autonomy, allowing them to work and live according to their own plans and pace.
When choosing a career in forex trading, traders need to balance freedom with stability. This choice isn't a simple trade-off; it involves deeper factors, including one's outlook on life, worldview, and values. For some, freedom is their core value, and they're willing to sacrifice the stability and social recognition of traditional careers for this freedom. For others, stability and social status may be more important, and they may choose a more traditional career path.
Therefore, choosing forex trading as a career requires not only a deep understanding of the market and professional skills, but also a clear understanding of personal values. This choice reflects a person's different understanding and pursuit of life; whether choosing freedom or stability, it is a reflection of their personal values.

Under the two-way trading mechanism of the forex market, investors must maintain a clear understanding of the market and be particularly wary of the market behavior of high-frequency quantitative trading institutions.

From the perspective of the current global foreign exchange market ecosystem, high-frequency quantitative trading funds, leveraging millisecond-level trading speeds, complex algorithmic models, and deep understanding of market microstructure, have become significant liquidity participants and price influencers. Within this trading ecosystem, retail day traders often serve as the primary "liquidity providers" for these institutions and are also the core target of their profit model.
The trading behavior of retail day traders creates a distinct "supply-demand match" with the strategic logic of high-frequency quantitative trading firms. On the one hand, retail investors typically make trading decisions based on short-term price fluctuations, technical indicator signals, or subjective emotions during day trading. These investors trade frequently, hold positions for short periods (often lasting minutes to hours), and place relatively dispersed orders. On the other hand, the core strategies of high-frequency quantitative trading firms (such as market making, arbitrage, and trend following) rely heavily on market liquidity, and the dispersed orders of retail investors provide them with ample counterparties. For example, during periods of consolidation in the foreign exchange market, price fluctuations are small and their direction unclear. High-frequency quantitative models can quickly execute arbitrage operations by capturing micro-signals such as spreads and order book changes from retail investors, thereby buying low and selling high. However, due to high transaction costs (spreads and fees) and slow reaction times, retail investors often accumulate losses through frequent trading, becoming a significant source of profit for institutions.
Shifting our focus to the stock market, especially during periods of high consolidation, the "harvesting logic" of high-frequency quantitative trading institutions exhibits similar yet distinct characteristics. Their primary target is still short-term retail traders, while their impact on long-term investors is relatively limited. From a trading mechanics perspective, high-frequency quantitative trading relies on short-term price fluctuations and order flow changes for profit, and the effectiveness of their strategies is negatively correlated with the holding period. For long-term investors, their investment decisions are based on long-term factors such as company fundamentals and industry trends. Holding periods typically span several years. During this period, even with short-term market fluctuations or interference from high-frequency trading by quantitative institutions, they are unlikely to easily change their strategies, let alone frequently liquidate their positions.
This difference in holding periods directly prevents high-frequency quantitative trading firms from effectively "harvesting" long-term investors. On the one hand, the low trading frequency of long-term investors prevents quantitative firms from providing consistent liquidity counterparties. On the other hand, the high-frequency trading strategies of quantitative firms struggle to generate excess returns from long-term stable stock price trends and may even result in losses due to divergence between market trends and short-term fluctuations. In contrast, the trading behavior of short-term retail traders closely aligns with the strategic logic of quantitative firms—their frequent opening and closing of positions, their sensitivity to short-term fluctuations, and their delayed response to market signals make them the primary target group for quantitative firms to profit from.
In summary, whether in the foreign exchange market or the highly volatile stock market, the core profit target of high-frequency quantitative trading firms is intraday short-term retail traders. Long-term investors, due to their different holding periods and trading logic, can effectively avoid the impact of such trading. For retail investors, if they want to reduce risk in a market dominated by quantitative trading, they need to re-evaluate their trading strategies, reduce frequent short-term trading, and focus more on long-term investment value to avoid becoming the "harvest" of quantitative firms.

In two-way forex trading, novice traders begin to try to simplify, marking the end of their theoretical learning.

At this stage, they begin to organize and filter the vast amount of knowledge, common sense, experience, techniques, and psychological training accumulated during their learning process. However, despite systematically summarizing, generalizing, filtering, and sifting this information, they still struggle to eliminate the dross and retain the essence, eliminating the dross and retaining the essentials. Consequently, they fail to develop a concise and effective investment and trading system, strategy, and method.
The transition from novice to experienced and then to expert is a crucial stage in the growth of a forex trader. It's like a chick about to hatch or a baby about to be born. Unfortunately, most traders leave the forex market before this crucial moment. The challenge at this stage lies in the fact that traders need to build upon theoretical learning, validate and optimize their trading strategies through practice, and maintain patience and perseverance to navigate the complexities and uncertainties of the market.
During this process, traders need to constantly reflect on and adjust their trading methods, learn to identify and eliminate ineffective information and strategies in practice, and focus on truly effective trading principles that work for them. This transition from theory to practice requires not only the accumulation of knowledge but also the continuous refinement and optimization of one's trading system through practice. Only in this way can traders survive and thrive in the complex environment of the forex market, ultimately achieving the transition from novice to expert.

In two-way forex trading, patience is one of the key factors for success, while a lack of patience often leads to the failure of most traders. In fact, 99% of forex traders fail due to their inability to be patient.

This phenomenon is common in the forex market. Many traders rush to enter the market before the price reaches key support or resistance levels, resulting in being stopped out during the market's continued volatility. When the price finally reaches these key levels, they are often deterred from re-entering the market due to previous stop-losses and losses, thus missing out on potential profit opportunities.
Even those traders who patiently wait for the price to reach key support or resistance levels before entering the market face significant psychological challenges during the holding process. They often cannot withstand the fear of floating losses or the temptation of floating profits, ultimately closing their positions prematurely. This psychological volatility prevents many traders from sticking to their trading plans and failing to achieve their expected returns.
Furthermore, even those traders who can withstand the fear of floating losses and the greed of floating profits after entering the market find it difficult to withstand the long-term fluctuations and consolidation of price movements. This repetitive price fluctuation is extremely agonizing for investors, and many long-term investors gradually lose patience in this ordeal and ultimately close their positions prematurely to take profits. This psychological toll causes many investors who might have otherwise enjoyed greater returns to exit the market prematurely.
Ultimately, only the 1% of long-term forex traders who maintain patience, stick to their trading plans, and withstand prolonged price fluctuations will become the greatest wealth accumulators. These traders, by patiently waiting for the optimal entry point, holding onto their positions, and resisting various psychological temptations and pressures, ultimately reap rich rewards in the market. Their success stems not only from a deep understanding of the market but also from the unwavering patience and strong mental fortitude they demonstrate during the trading process.

In the forex two-way trading market, a phenomenon is prevalent and worthy of in-depth exploration: even after a long period of practical experience—from an initial three-year trial period to a five-year experience-building period, and some even persisting for over a decade—many traders remain unable to break through the "novice stage" skill barrier, remaining stuck at a beginner level with fuzzy trading knowledge, poor operational stability, and limited profitability.

This dilemma of "time investment not proportional to skill improvement" not only causes traders to suffer financial losses but also easily leads them to doubt their trading systems, ultimately eroding their initial enthusiasm and confidence through repeated trial and error.
The root cause of this dilemma is not a lack of willingness to learn, nor is it a reluctance to invest in trading improvement. In contrast, the vast majority of traders who have been deeply involved in the market for a long time have invested significant effort in building their trading skills. They spend months, even years, poring over forex theory books, covering topics ranging from the impact of macroeconomic indicators on exchange rates to the application of technical analysis tools like candlestick patterns and moving averages. They devote considerable energy to tracking market dynamics, focusing on key events influencing forex fluctuations, such as the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and geopolitical conflicts, in an effort to seize trading opportunities. Some traders even enroll in professional trading courses to learn risk management models, position control techniques, and even participate in trading psychology training, hoping to break through bottlenecks through systematic learning. It can be said that most long-term traders never slack off in the "accumulation of knowledge and experience" phase.
The core issue that truly hinders traders from breaking through bottlenecks in their advancement lies precisely in the "refining and transforming" phase. This knowledge, accumulated through study and practical application, is often fragmented and scattered: it could be a technical pattern analysis method from a book, short-term market patterns learned from a successful trade, or differentiated strategies taught by instructors in different courses. However, most traders fail to systematically integrate these scattered "knowledge points" and "experience points." They neither summarize and generalize to identify the logical connections between different knowledge modules nor conduct targeted filtering and screening, failing to discern which experiences are applicable to specific market environments and which theories are no longer valid in their current trading scenarios.
This state of "accumulation without refinement" prevents them from completing the crucial transformation of "eliminating the false and retaining the true, and refining the coarse and retaining the fine." Naturally, it's difficult to develop a logically closed, professional trading system that adapts to their trading style and is concise and efficient. Ultimately, traders still fall into the pitfalls of "making decisions based on gut feeling" and "frequently switching strategies." Even with years of trading experience, it's difficult to achieve substantial advancement in their skills.
