In two-way forex trading, small retail traders often prefer short-term speculative trading over long-term price investing.

---

Long-term price investors often allow themselves to gradually accumulate wealth through steady strategies, but small retail traders are more eager for quick returns and lack patience for this slow growth. Even if they understand the strategies of long-term price investors, they find it difficult to truly follow them because these strategies differ significantly from their expectations and trading goals.
Long-term price investors typically have substantial financial backing, which frees them from the pursuit of quick fortunes or exorbitant returns. In contrast, small retail traders often lack such financial resources and therefore prefer short-term trading for quick returns. Long-term price investors typically have a well-established valuation system and code of conduct, and each entry and exit is based on rigorous logic and analysis. Without a clear exit signal, they will not easily change their investment strategy, even in the face of significant floating losses or gains. Even if floating losses reach 50% or more, they will continue to add to their positions according to established guidelines rather than resorting to stop-loss orders. The core of this strategy is to capitalize on long-term market trends and value reversion to achieve returns.
However, the situation is quite different for small retail traders. They pursue the thrill of trading rather than long-term investment value. Long-term investing is an unbearable ordeal for them, as they often cannot withstand the psychological pressure of holding positions for a long time. When faced with significant floating losses or gains, small retail traders often fall into regret and anguish. If floating profits turn into floating losses, they become even more annoyed and may even scoff at the relatively low returns of long-term price traders. When floating losses reach 50% or more, small retail traders often feel devastated and may even choose to give up, as they lack the funds to add to their positions to cover their losses. Long-term price investors, on the other hand, have sufficient funds to continue adding to their positions. Far from being devastated, they are actually delighted to be able to enter the market at a lower price.
Thus, there is a fundamental difference between small-cap retail traders and long-term price investors. They occupy different levels and belong to completely different investment worlds. Long-term price investors operate within their own investment logic and value systems, while small-cap retail traders attempt to emulate their strategies to achieve returns. This is like a farmer imagining the emperor weeding with a golden hoe or carrying manure with a golden shoulder pole—an unrealistic fantasy.

In the two-way world of forex trading, ordinary investors generally don't need to pay much attention to so-called "realms." This concept is more of a personal image-building tool used by globally renowned figures.

For ordinary investors, the essence of forex trading is quite straightforward: it's more like a battle on the battlefield, where victory or defeat is the only key. In this trading environment, investors can either become losers, enduring steady losses, or become winners through superior skills and strategies, achieving stable returns. Simply put, the average investor has only two roles in forex trading: winners or losers.
Though concepts like "realm" and "mindset" are widely mentioned in some books, they often hold little practical value in actual forex trading. While the titles and cover pages of these books may attract new traders in major bookstores worldwide, their content often means nothing to experienced traders. These books primarily appeal to beginners through flashy titles and promotional materials. However, truly valuable trading strategies and techniques often require continuous practice and accumulation, not simply through reading these books.
In the world of forex trading, novice investors are often drawn to a variety of books and theories, believing that learning these will lead them to success in the complex market. However, many books written by so-called "investment gurus" often offer only vague conceptual explanations and lack practical guidance. The true value of these books may lie solely in their marketing strategies, aiming to attract new investors and generate commercial profits. Investors with years of experience in the market prefer to improve their trading skills through personal experience and continuous learning, rather than relying on seemingly sophisticated but impractical theories.
In forex trading, what truly leads investors to success is solid fundamentals, rigorous risk management, and a deep understanding of market dynamics. Cultivating these skills requires time and practice, not just reading a few books. Therefore, for ordinary investors, instead of wasting time on empty theories and concepts, it's better to focus on improving their trading skills and mental fortitude. Only then can they stand out from the crowd in the forex trading arena and become true winners.

In the two-way trading system of forex investment, stop-loss strategies aren't set according to a single standard; instead, they must be adjusted dynamically based on the trader's position size and trading cycle. The core difference lies in the two trading models of light long-term and heavy short-term positions.

---

For forex investors adopting a light-weight, long-term strategy, since their holding periods typically span months or even years, their position size is often kept relatively low relative to their account balance. Their investment strategy is based on their understanding of the currency pair's long-term fundamental trends, so the impact of short-term price fluctuations on their overall account value is relatively limited. Therefore, these investors may choose not to set fixed stop-loss orders. They prefer to continuously monitor fundamentals to determine whether a fundamental trend reversal has occurred, rather than triggering mechanical stop-loss orders based on short-term price pullbacks. This helps them avoid exiting the market prematurely due to market noise and missing out on the benefits of long-term trends. In contrast, forex traders who adopt a heavy, short-term strategy may hold positions for only a few hours or days, often holding positions that exceed 10% of their account capital. Profitability depends on accurately capturing short-term price fluctuations. Short-term markets are subject to significant volatility, influenced by factors such as news and liquidity. A misjudgment of market direction can lead to significant losses within a short period of time. Therefore, these traders must set strict stop-loss orders. Using clear stop-loss points (e.g., based on key support/resistance levels or technical indicator signals) can control the risk exposure of individual trades, preventing a single loss from consuming a significant portion of their account capital and ensuring the sustainability of their trading system.
From the fundamental nature of stop-loss orders, in two-way forex trading, stop-loss orders are always a tool for traders to control risk, not a means of generating profit. Their core function is to limit potential losses on a single trade to a manageable level through a pre-set loss limit, thus preventing the account from facing irreversible risks due to extreme market conditions or misjudgment. For example, when sudden policy changes or the release of major economic data trigger exchange rate gaps, a well-defined stop-loss order can effectively mitigate losses. However, it's important to understand that stop-loss orders alone don't directly generate profits. Profits depend on market trend analysis, entry timing, and strategic position management. Stop-loss orders simply protect the integrity of your account capital and create conditions for subsequent profitable trades. They serve as a "safety valve" in the forex trading risk control system, not a "profit engine." Over-reliance on stop-loss orders or misunderstanding their function can lead to a vicious cycle of frequent stop-loss orders and persistent losses.
In the practice of two-way forex trading, the vast majority of traders have a natural aversion to stop-loss orders. This mentality isn't accidental; it stems from a combination of human instinct for loss and a desire for luck. Most traders are reluctant to set stop-loss orders. Essentially, they do not want to face the current certain losses. Instead, they hope that the market price can reverse the trend and turn the account from loss to profit. Behind this "holding the order" mentality, there are often hidden defects in the trading system - many traders have not established a complete trading strategy and operation methods. There are neither clear entry signals (such as technical pattern breakthroughs, fundamental resonance, etc.), nor clear exit rules (such as profit-taking points, risk-return ratio thresholds, etc.). As a result, they fall into a decision-making dilemma when facing losses: they can neither judge whether the current loss is a short-term fluctuation or a trend reversal, nor know whether to control risks through stop-loss. In the end, they can only rely on luck to choose to "hold the order", hoping that the market can "return the investment", but the reality is often that the losses continue to expand, and even trigger an account liquidation.
Furthermore, the fact that the vast majority of traders in forex trading dislike using stop-loss orders is actually a normal human reaction. After all, accepting a guaranteed loss goes against the human instinct to pursue profit and avoid loss. From this perspective, traders who dislike stop-loss orders are precisely "normal." Conversely, if someone actively prefers to use stop-loss orders, it's actually inconsistent with normal trading psychology. However, it's worth noting that the vast majority of traders in the current forex market are short-term traders. They tend to capture short-term price discrepancies through frequent trading, but they ignore the high demands of technical analysis and mental control required for short-term trading. They also generally lack a strict stop-loss awareness and risk control system. This is the core reason why forex market statistics show that "99% of traders ultimately lose money." This group of losers is primarily retail traders with small capital. Due to a lack of systematic trading knowledge, they frequently "hold on to" positions in short-term trading, exacerbating losses and ultimately becoming the bearers of market risk.
In stark contrast to retail traders, the few experienced large investors in forex trading also dislike stop-loss orders, but their decision-making logic when faced with losses is completely different. These large investors don't rely on luck to hold onto their positions. Instead, they consistently base their exit decisions on "exit conditions and signals." Before entering the market, they establish clear exit criteria based on multiple factors, including macroeconomic fundamentals, currency pair valuations, and market sentiment. For example, if core fundamental indicators (such as interest rate policy, trade deficits, and inflation data) reverse, or if a key technical breakdown signal (such as the breakdown of long-term moving averages or the confirmation of a head pattern) appears, they will strictly execute exits, even if their accounts are already in the red. For them, "stop-loss" isn't about passively accepting losses; it's about proactive, rule-based risk management after a trend has ended. Essentially, it's about "exiting based on signals," not "stopping losses due to losses." This rational decision-making logic is the key to large investors achieving stable profits in long-term trading.

In forex trading, while "buy low, sell high" and "sell high, buy low" are fundamental strategies universally followed by investors worldwide, there are significant differences in how different traders understand and apply these strategies. These differences are reflected not only in the determination of "low" and "high," but also in the handling of key aspects such as risk control, signal identification, and trading timing.

For the "buy low, sell high" strategy, widely used during market rallies, different traders have varying definitions and interpretations of "low." Some consider "low" to be the point where prices begin to recover after a decline, signaling market stabilization; others view it as a turning point where a moving average shifts from a downward slope to a horizontal one, indicating a loss of further downward momentum. Furthermore, "low" can also represent a market condition where momentum is gradually running out after a period of decline. These different interpretations are just a few of the many possibilities. In fact, listing all the possible "low" scenarios would take quite a while.
Similarly, in the "sell high, buy low" strategy, widely used during market declines, different traders have vastly different definitions of "high." For some, "high" refers to the point where prices stop rising and begin to decline, signaling market stabilization. For others, "high" refers to the turning point where a moving average turns from an upward slope to a horizontal one, indicating a loss of upward momentum. Furthermore, "high" can also refer to a market that has experienced a period of growth and is experiencing a gradual loss of momentum. These different interpretations are also just a few of the many possibilities. Listing all the possible "high" scenarios would also take quite a while.
If there are still forex traders who are skeptical of the universal strategies of "buy low, sell high" and "sell high, buy low," it may be because they don't fully understand how to identify highs and lows or don't accurately grasp the appropriate risk level at these levels. Furthermore, they may not have mastered the principles of identifying high and low price signals, as well as the key moments for entering and exiting the market. In reality, handling and responding to high and low price signals is a highly flexible and artistic endeavor. Different traders will employ different methods and strategies to handle these situations, based on their experience, style, and market understanding. Just as "there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers," so too will a thousand forex traders have a thousand different approaches to handling and responding.

In the two-way trading world of forex investment, a thought-provoking phenomenon is that those successful traders who have truly achieved stable profits in the market often refrain from actively advising others to get involved in forex trading.

---

This attitude stems not from a fear that new entrants will become competitors and divide market opportunities, but rather from a deep understanding of the market's ruthlessness. They are fully aware of the enormous risks inherent in forex trading and understand that most people who enter the market may ultimately face not the joy of profit, but the pain of account losses the fear of others suffering losses makes them reluctant to encourage others to participate.
A closer look at the ecosystem of the two-way foreign exchange (forex) market reveals that those actively promoting the value of forex trading and encouraging others to participate are almost always concentrated among groups with direct or indirect interests in forex trading, such as forex brokers, forex investment and trading training institutions, and various related interest groups that provide supporting services. The core goal of these entities is to profit by attracting more people to trade—brokers profit from transaction fees, training institutions generate revenue from course sales, and related institutions rely on trader demand. Therefore, from a profit-driven perspective, those who actively encourage forex investors to enter the market often harbor a hidden agenda of "harvesting"—maximizing their own profits by guiding others to trade, rather than truly considering investors' profits.
Examining the profitability of two-way forex trading over time reveals the market's brutality even more clearly. If we look at a 10-year cycle, the number of forex traders who can truly achieve consistent profits from trading is extremely small. If we extend this to 20 years, the number of those who can maintain stable profits from forex trading, or even rely on it as their primary source of income, is even smaller. Even if we shorten the timeframe to a relatively short three years, the number of investors who can break through market volatility and truly achieve positive returns from trading remains pitifully small. This scarcity of profits across these cycles reflects the fact that the difficulty of profiting from forex trading far exceeds the expectations of ordinary investors.
In the two-way forex market, not only do ordinary individual investors face difficulties in achieving profitability, but even institutions and funds, often considered more professional and well-resourced, rarely achieve consistent profits from trading over long periods of five, ten, or even twenty years. While these institutions and funds may achieve short-term gains through market trends or strategy adjustments, in the long term, facing the complex and volatile global economic environment, exchange rate fluctuations, and policy risks, most will struggle to escape unstable profits or even losses. This further underscores the daunting challenge of achieving long-term profitability in forex trading.
Looking at the forex trading industry, another undeniable reality is that the proportion of market participants who truly understand market logic, master scientific trading systems, and possess risk management skills is extremely low. The vast majority of participants, lacking systematic professional knowledge, mature trading strategies, and strong mindset management, often struggle to navigate market fluctuations and ultimately become the bearers of market risk. Like "cannon fodder" or "leeks," their losses are largely predetermined from the moment they enter the market. This industry reality not only highlights the professional threshold for forex trading but also serves as a warning to potential investors to maintain rationality and caution.
