Most forex traders lose money. That's not opinion — it's data. The reason is almost always the same:

No risk management system.

People enter trades based on feelings. They move their stop losses. They risk 10% on a single position because "this one is a sure thing." One bad day wipes out a month of gains.

Here's what actually works:

1. Never risk more than 1-2% per trade. If your account is $5,000, that's $50-$100 max per position. No exceptions.

1. Set your stop loss BEFORE you enter. If you can't define your exit, you don't have a trade — you have a gamble.

1. Track every trade in a journal. Win or loss, write down why you entered, where you exited, and what you'd do differently.

1. Accept that losses are part of the game. A 55% win rate with proper risk management will make you profitable. Chasing 100% win rates will make you broke.

The traders who survive aren't the ones with the best entries. They're the ones who protect their capital.

If this hits home, Market Minds is where I teach this in depth — live analysis, strategy breakdowns, and a community of traders who hold each other accountable.
