In the context of two-way forex trading, investors participating in gold trading are often more prone to losses. This phenomenon reflects the unique characteristics of the gold market and the behavioral differences among different trading groups.

---

From a trading cycle perspective, forex investors who hold long-term gold positions and align with long-term market trends could potentially reap substantial profits. However, in reality, the vast majority of short-term gold traders struggle to achieve their profit targets and are often caught in a cycle of losses due to market fluctuations.
Like other futures products, the gold market is essentially a zero-sum game. Every profit corresponds to an equal loss; the market as a whole does not generate additional value. The game-like nature permeates the entire trading process. However, most investors often overlook this core characteristic when participating in trading, lacking a deep understanding of the game logic between the two sides. Crucially, non-professional institutions and retail investors generally lack expertise in macroeconomic fundamentals research. They struggle to accurately grasp the transmission path of core factors such as global economic data, geopolitical changes, and monetary policy adjustments to gold prices. Furthermore, they lag significantly behind professional institutions in information acquisition efficiency and data analysis capabilities. This dual disadvantage in information and ability keeps short-term retail investors in a consistently passive position in market dynamics.
From a trading behavior perspective, the operating habits of short-term retail investors further exacerbate the risk of losses. Retail investors often exhibit irrational tendencies towards chasing highs and lows, while some futures investors are obsessed with aggressive bottom-fishing and top-picking. The high-sell, low-buy trading patterns developed in volatile markets often carry over into trending markets. Even when prices break out of the trading range and establish a clear trend, they cling to old strategies and are unwilling to cut losses in time, ultimately leading to continuously expanding losses. In fact, even when participating in short-term gold trading, it is necessary to abandon retail investor thinking and proactively switch to an institutional perspective, reconstructing trading logic through contrarian thinking.
In practical terms, when going long on gold, it's crucial to set reasonable stop-loss orders at key support or resistance levels. Simultaneously, anticipate the possibility that institutions might use a breakout above this range to induce additional losses for investors, leading to a reverse entry. Prepare risk management and contingency plans in advance. When most retail investors are still fixated on a buy-low-sell-high strategy, and the trend continues, one should decisively adjust their trading approach and participate in trend trading, rather than clinging to outdated range-bound strategies. The core essence of forex and gold trading is not simply pursuing a higher success rate in price judgments, but rather accurately anticipating the operational pitfalls of opponents and developing contrarian trading strategies based on common mistakes made by market participants. Replacing simplistic trend judgment with a game-theoretic mindset is the key to gaining the upper hand in a zero-sum market.

In the two-way trading mechanism of the forex market, those traders who truly achieve substantial returns are often those who adhere to a long-term investment philosophy.

While short-term trading may seem active and frequent, it's difficult to accumulate substantial profits. Only by grasping major market trends within the macro environment, holding positions firmly, and patiently waiting can one build a stable and sustainable profit growth channel across both time and price dimensions.
The core objective of long-term forex investment is not to chase instantaneous fluctuations, but to identify and anchor market directions with sustained momentum to obtain above-average returns. In contrast, short-term trading is constrained by the continuous erosion of transaction costs (such as spreads and commissions). Even if the win rate remains at a theoretical 50%, it will still inevitably result in net losses in the long run. More importantly, the inherent human tendency towards loss aversion is often amplified in short-term trading: on the one hand, traders are eager to secure profits after small gains, fearing that they will give back their profits and miss out on greater upward potential; on the other hand, when faced with floating losses, they tend to delay stop-loss orders, constantly moving the stop-loss level down, ultimately turning small losses into unbearable large losses.
Long-term trading strategies effectively avoid the aforementioned behavioral biases. Their essence lies in "small losses, large gains"—that is, limiting individual losses through strict risk control while allowing profitable positions ample room to grow. In practice, the returns from a single successful long-term trade often cover, or even far exceed, the sum of dozens or even hundreds of small losses. It's important to understand that trying to capture every tiny market fluctuation is not only a huge waste of energy and resources, but even with the most advanced quantitative models and supercomputing power, achieving stable profits is difficult. Therefore, for the vast majority of ordinary investors, abandoning the obsession with short-term fluctuations, returning to trends, respecting cycles, and adhering to long-term strategies is the rational and feasible path to sustainable profitability.

The two-way trading mechanism of the forex market inherently carries high complexity and uncertainty, significantly increasing the difficulty of investment operations, especially for short-term traders. For them, making profits is like rowing against the current, and losses are almost their inevitable fate.

In this industry ecosystem, not all forex brokers' sales representatives adhere to a purely performance-driven approach. Some practitioners, perhaps feeling compassion upon witnessing clients suffering losses, may even actively discourage investors from opening accounts. This behavior, contrary to the logic of business development, often leads to negative growth in their personal business, creating a stark contrast with the steadily increasing performance of their colleagues. Over time, some sensitive and ethical practitioners may find themselves unable to balance professional ethics with performance pressure, ultimately choosing to leave the forex trading industry altogether. While not widespread, this situation does exist within the industry.
Compared to these ethical practitioners, the forex market is more prevalent with various black platforms operating on a gambling basis, whose chaotic operations and illegal activities are self-evident. It is worth noting that the Chinese government has already implemented restrictions and prohibitions on the domestic forex trading industry, strengthening the risk defense line at the policy level. Even if investors intend to participate in overseas foreign exchange investment, in addition to facing China's strict foreign exchange control policies, most major global forex brokers have reached agreements with the Chinese government and, for compliance reasons, generally do not accept Chinese citizens to conduct forex investment trading. This policy environment and market structure objectively leave room for various small, non-compliant platforms to survive, allowing them to recklessly profit through black platform operation models and gambling-style trading mechanisms, further exacerbating the chaos and risks in the forex investment market.

In the two-way trading mechanism of forex investment, there are many full-time traders who devote all their energy to it. However, it is regrettable that many not only fail to achieve financial freedom, but even struggle to maintain a basic family livelihood—if they reach this point, their career path has truly fallen into a predicament and is almost abandoned.

At its root, full-time trading harbors multiple risks. First, the market itself is ruthless; for traders who have not yet established a stable profit system, they are easily crushed by repeated trial and error and emotional fluctuations. Secondly, prolonged immersion in a high-frequency trading environment can easily induce a hidden "trading addiction": even during holidays, one cannot truly relax; instead, detachment from the market leads to anxiety, mental depression, as if one's soul has been detached, resulting in physical discomfort, and a life rhythm completely hijacked by market movements.
Behind this addictive phenomenon lie both deep-seated psychological factors and an imbalance in cognitive structure. On one hand, past experiences of occasional windfall profits in trading—the thrill of returns several times or even dozens of times the initial investment—strongly stimulate dopamine secretion, making the sense of accomplishment from regular work pale in comparison and failing to meet psychological expectations. On the other hand, there is a distortion of value judgments: disdain for the path of accumulating small gains into large ones, yet lacking the real ability to manage large funds and grasp major trends, spending days oscillating between candlestick charts and illusory wealth, vainly wasting time and youth.
Over time, this state will erode an individual's overall effectiveness. While years of market experience may have honed his maturity and financial acumen far beyond his peers, his execution ability has subtly deteriorated. The once spirited and ambitious young man now repeatedly abandons projects he truly wants to pursue, finding it difficult to persevere – this is not merely a decline in ability, but also a erosion of mental resilience.
Therefore, temporarily stepping away from the trading market is a sensible form of self-preservation. It's crucial to understand that trading is not the sole purpose of life. The immediate priority is to proactively withdraw and rediscover enthusiasm and appreciation for life itself. He should seek out something he truly identifies with and is worthy of deep cultivation, dedicating himself fully to it with the same focus and perseverance he once displayed in his market studies. Only in this way can he build his own spiritual anchor and haven outside the volatile financial markets – and the ultimate refuge is never a bank account balance, but rather the self willing to start anew and embark on a new journey.

In the two-way forex market, long-term investment is a formidable hurdle for most traders, with very few able to adhere to a long-term strategy.

This phenomenon stems from both the inherent volatility of the market and is closely related to the trader's psychological resilience and cognitive limitations. In the initial stages of long-term investment, profits are often difficult to realize quickly. Even if traders accurately time their entries and establish positions when currency pairs are in a relatively advantageous position, positive returns may not be achieved in the short term. Due to the lack of sufficient profit buffer in the early stages, floating losses are extremely common, and these losses are not isolated incidents but a phase that is highly likely to occur in long-term investment.
The trend in the forex market does not extend linearly but evolves alternately between oscillations and breakouts. Furthermore, it is difficult for traders to precisely time the optimal entry point every time; even slight deviations in price levels can amplify losses in the short term. When an account is consistently losing money, most traders will trigger stop-loss orders due to risk aversion, actively exiting the market to avoid further losses. This often forces the initial setup of a long-term investment to end before profits are realized. Furthermore, long-term forex investment typically spans several years or even longer, posing an extreme test of a trader's patience and resolve. Market sentiment fluctuations, macroeconomic policy adjustments, geopolitical conflicts, and other factors can all interfere with a trader's decision-making and disrupt their established investment plans.
Forex investment is never just a test of professional knowledge and analytical skills; at a deeper level, it is a tempering and game of human nature. Greed, fear, and impatience are often the biggest obstacles to long-term investment. True long-term and value investing is not simply about holding for the long term; its core lies in achieving a high degree of unity between cognition and action. It requires both the wisdom to accurately judge long-term market trends and the resolve to withstand short-term fluctuations and adhere to investment logic. This is a level that most forex traders find difficult to reach, which also determines that long-term investment is unlikely to become a mainstream strategy in the two-way forex market.
