The reason why many forex traders fail is that they have insufficient funds compared to the size of the trades they make. Either greed or the prospect of controlling a large amount of money with a small amount of money forces forex traders to take such a large and fragile financial risk.

To overcome consistent losses in forex trading, it's crucial to reassess your trading strategy for any flaws or weaknesses and make necessary adjustments. Additionally, prioritize effective risk management by controlling your position sizes and setting appropriate stop-loss levels to minimize potential losses.

There are many brokers like hfm etc which offer free demo trading to enhance trading skills so we can use them instead of live funds to make sure we got the right strategy and proper risk management to make money in trading instead of losing.

if you are lossing consistently then stop balming the markets and start rethinking what you are doing consistently that results in loses, sometimes if could simply be rash decisions, in most cases no following the plan due to emotions, or simply lack of knowledge, the more u focus on your self the less loses u will have.

The key is to learn and trade on a demo account before investing real money into live account. Demo trading helps a lot while they comes up with free virtual funds and real market trading conditions.

The key reason why traders lose is because they ignore money and risk management practices. If you make mistakes you have to make sure you pay very low price for it. Thanks to HFM webinars I learned for free how to do that

We should only invest to that extent which we can afford to lose in forex trading however, money management and risk mitigation comes up with spending some time in the live trading markets.

Yeah agree, that's why I use 1:50 leverage with HFM and pretty tight swaps to keep loss limited as much as possible.

That may sounds quite interesting since the best thing is to protect your capital while risking it to make more money in forex or any trading business in my opinion.

This may be the toughest way forward, but it may lead to the biggest reward... Reduce your trading plan to automated code. My process goes something like this:

  1. Choose an instrument, e.g., MES futures, GBPJPY, etc.
  2. Determine the best chart structure (by eyeballing the price runs) for that instrument, e.g., 10 tick Renko bars, 10,000 trades volume bars, 12 minute time bars, etc. (I formerly auto-traded naked 55 pip Renko bars 24/5 on the GBPJPY at IG brokers... 2 reverse bars in the same direction = in, and 1 opposite reverse bar = out. It traded standard lots well enough that they terminated my live account. The nice thing about Renko bars is that you can simply count the bars in each run and take notes using pen and paper, and then multiply one bar's cash value by each win/loss bar count--minus spread, and +/- swap.)
  3. Determine whether indicators are needed to improve identification of the price runs, e.g., linear regression lines, a 13 x 50 period EMA cross, etc. (It doesn't have to be perfect. Even if the strategy appears to be a breakeven or a slight loser, it might be worth further refinement. See step #5.)
  4. Reduce your strategy to code. IMHO, the easiest languages to code are probably EasyLanguage, Pine script, and MQL4 (in that order). MQL5 isn't too tough if you're already an advanced MQL4 coder.
  5. Backtest and auto-optimize the strategy that you've coded, across its inputs/settings, the chart structure/timeframe to which it's applied, and/or other instruments. (An unprofitable strategy applied in one manner can be profitable when applied in a different manner within the greater universe of your trading platform.) Depending on your given platform, commissions, swap, and/or spreads may or may not be included in backtests.
  6. Demo test your automated strategy, forward. Again, commissions, swap, and/or spreads may or may not be included.
  7. If your results are undeniably profitable (taking into account the differences between demo versus live trading), go live.

Update to the above Post...

  • Re-optimize your strategy periodically (as appropriate for your strategy's given trading frequency) to make sure that you're always applying the strategy in the most profitable manner as it continues to trade, e.g., re-optimize weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.

Thanks for sharing, also have a demo for backtesting and refining any current or new strategy before implementing on the live accounts.

    • BLND Blend Labs stock breakout, from Stocks to Watch at https://stockconsultant.com/?BLND
    • Date: 6th December 2024. How Will NFP Impact The Trading Markets? The Euro increased in value against most currencies on Thursday, but investors remained cautious over the ECB President’s comments. According to economists, the ECB is almost certain to cut interest rates next week. President Lagarde advises the Eurozone is likely to witness lower economic growth than previously expected. Analysts changed expectations for the US Unemployment Rate to rise to 4.2%. Most experts now expect the US rate of unemployment to remain unchanged. Poor US employment data can increase the potential for a December rate cut and further fuel the bullish trend in the stock market. EURUSD – Will The Fed Cut Interest Rates? The EURUSD rose in value on Thursday ignoring resistance levels but now moves closer to a stronger resistance point. This key level can be seen at 1.05969, but in order for the EURUSD to find bearish momentum at this level investors will be hoping for poor employment data. Economists expect the NFP Employment Change to read 215,000 and for the Unemployment Rate to remain at 4.1%. Analysts also continue to expect the growth in salaries to continue. If these three releases indicate a resilient and strong employment sector, the chances of a Federal Reserve rate cut fade. However, if the data is poorer, the US Dollar can potentially decline as a rate cut this month becomes more certain. Regarding the Euro, market participants are turning their attention to macroeconomic data from the Eurozone. Retail sales declined by 0.5% MoM, slightly worse than the expected ˗0.4%. Additionally, Germany’s industrial orders for October decreased by 1.5%, following a 4.2% rise in the previous month. This indicates weak domestic demand in both the German and broader European economies, potentially prompting the European Central Bank (ECB) to consider further interest rate cuts. A recent Reuters poll of leading economists suggests the ECB may lower borrowing costs by ˗25 basis points next week and by at least ˗100 basis points over the next year. Supporting this outlook, ECB President Christine Lagarde stated yesterday that economic growth in the Eurozone could be weaker than expected in the coming months, with risks of further deterioration likely to dominate in the medium term. The US Dollar Index is the best performing currency index so far today, but is not seeing significant gains. The Euro Index remains unchanged. The worst performing currency of the day is the Australian Dollar and the Japanese Yen. NASDAQ – How Will NFP Affect The NASDAQ? The NASDAQ retraced after gaining in value for 5 consecutive days and rising to an all-time high. So far in 2024, the NASDAQ has almost risen 30% but the short to medium term price action will depend on the upcoming employment data and next week’s consumer and producer inflation. Employment data for last week was released yesterday, showing that initial jobless claims rose by 224,000, surpassing both the forecast of 215,000 and the previous figure of 215,000. However, the total number of individuals receiving state assistance decreased from 1.896 million to 1.871 million, defying expectations of an increase to 1.910 million. Commenting on the situation, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted that the US economy is performing better than anticipated, with declining risks of labor market deterioration. In this context, Powell suggested that the Federal Reserve could adopt a more cautious stance on monetary policy, aiming to achieve a neutral position for interest rates.
