In the two-way trading scenario of forex investment, traders need to deeply understand the intrinsic relationship between stop-loss mechanisms and trading cycles. This understanding is crucial for constructing a reasonable trading strategy.

---

From the perspective of the essential differences in trading cycles, the application logic of stop-loss strategies is significantly differentiated. One particularly important point is that when the market discusses stop-loss operations, its core application scenario always focuses on short-term trading. This is because the core objective of short-term trading is to capture short-term price fluctuations in the market and obtain phased profits through rapid entry and exit. However, in the short term, the market is greatly affected by factors such as policy news, capital flows, and unexpected events, and the uncertainty of price movements is significantly higher than that of long-term trends. Setting a stop-loss at this time can effectively control the risk exposure of a single trade, avoid unexpected losses due to short-term price reversals, protect the safety of account funds, and reserve operational space for subsequent short-term trading. In stark contrast, long-term trading differs fundamentally from short-term trading in its risk control and profit-generating logic. This also determines that long-term trading focuses far less on stop-loss or take-profit levels than short-term trading. Long-term trading decisions are based more on stable and persistent factors such as macroeconomic fundamentals, the monetary policy trends of major economies, and long-term exchange rate trends. Traders have already formed a relatively clear judgment on the long-term market trend before establishing a position, and their holding period often spans several months or even years, aiming to capture substantial profits from long-term exchange rate trends. In this process, short-term price fluctuations are considered normal corrections within the long-term trend. Frequent stop-loss orders may lead to premature exits before the trend reverses, missing out on subsequent significant profit opportunities. Similarly, setting take-profit levels is not a core focus of long-term trading, as long-term traders prioritize gradually increasing profits as the trend develops, rather than prematurely locking in profits through fixed take-profit points. Unless there is a fundamental change in macroeconomic fundamentals or a clear reversal of the long-term trend, take-profit operations are usually not executed lightly.
Therefore, traders in two-way forex trading need to clearly define the applicable boundaries of their stop-loss strategies based on their chosen trading timeframe. They must avoid blindly applying short-term stop-loss logic to long-term trading, or neglecting stop-loss settings in short-term trading, leading to uncontrolled risk. Only by combining the essential characteristics of the trading timeframe with a matching risk control and operational strategy can they more effectively balance risk and return in the two-way fluctuations of the forex market.

In two-way forex trading, investors often encounter various complex terms, but they should not be misled by these fancy names.

Forex trading is essentially a leveraged transaction, formally known as forex margin trading. In Hong Kong, this trading method is often called forex margin trading, a transliteration of "Forex Margin". As a noun, "margin" is similar in meaning to "edge," signifying "border" or "edge." As a verb, "margin" has meanings such as "to border," "to add a side note," and "to pay insurance premiums for." Therefore, forex margin trading actually refers to a trading method that provides insurance or margin for forex transactions.
However, over the past decade or so, the popularity of forex margin trading has gradually declined. Major banks in Hong Kong have largely discontinued their forex margin trading services. At the same time, forex investors have gradually become less swayed by fancy terms. Hong Kong is no longer a paradise for forex investment, and Hong Kong forex margin brokers have gradually lost their appeal. These brokers offer a very limited range of forex trading products, failing to meet the needs of large-scale investors. Therefore, the departure of large funds from the Hong Kong forex market is undoubtedly a wise choice. For example, carry trades favored by large investors, such as ZAR/JPY, MXN/JPY, and TRY/JPY, are simply unavailable in the Hong Kong forex market. Neither Hong Kong banks nor forex brokers offer these investment products.

In the two-way trading of forex investment, a regrettable fact is that the vast majority of traders are in a losing position. This phenomenon seems difficult to change because its root lies in human nature.

---

Although the passage of time may change many things, the weaknesses of human nature remain constant. Traders often treat forex trading as gambling rather than a serious investment endeavor. They always yearn to get rich overnight and achieve financial freedom through high-leverage trading. However, this mentality often leads to insatiable greed when profitable and fear and anxiety when losing. These weaknesses of human nature are amplified infinitely in the market, becoming the root cause of losses.
Many traders are obsessed with finding the so-called holy grail and secret formula, attempting to find a 100% accurate indicator or trading system to predict every market fluctuation. However, they ignore a fundamental fact: the market is essentially a game of probability, and there is no secret method that can accurately predict the future. Meanwhile, many traders use physical diligence to mask intellectual laziness. They can stay up until the early hours, reading countless analytical articles, but never spend time reviewing their trading records or reflecting on their trading logic and money management strategies.
Ultimately, successful forex traders are often those who abandon short-term trading and adopt a long-term investment strategy, accumulating wealth through countless small-position trades. They reject the fantasy of getting rich overnight and instead accept a strategy of gradual wealth accumulation over the long term. Even though successful traders tirelessly share their experiences, teaching newcomers to abandon short-term trading, adopt long-term investment strategies, and embrace the philosophy of gradual wealth accumulation, the 80/20 and 90/10 rules remain difficult to break. This is because human weaknesses persist, and these weaknesses are the key factors preventing most people from succeeding. Perhaps it is this awareness of helplessness that leads many successful people to abandon their desire to help others. Successful people find methods that suit them, while unsuccessful people often struggle to find the right path.

In the two-way trading of forex, traders who adhere to long-term investment may not achieve rapid fame and fortune, but with a certain amount of capital, achieving a stable livelihood is relatively easy.

The core of a long-term investment strategy lies in resisting short-term market fluctuations through long-term holding, thereby profiting from stable market trends. While this strategy may not bring overnight riches, it can accumulate considerable wealth over the long term, providing investors with reliable financial security.
As traders delve deeper into the knowledge, common sense, experience, techniques, and basic psychology of forex investment, they gradually recognize the limitations of short-term trading. The fundamental reason why short-term trading cannot adopt long-term strategies lies in the limitations of retail investors. Due to the extremely short holding time, typically only lasting a few tens of minutes or hours, floating losses are highly likely after opening a position. Constrained by both time and psychological factors, retail investors lack both sufficient time to wait for a trend to fully develop and the patience and composure to hold positions, often hastily stopping losses before a trend has fully formed. This trading model prevents them from understanding the deeper meaning of "buy low, sell high; sell high, buy low," ultimately leading to their elimination by the market. Investors who can establish themselves in the forex market are undoubtedly professionals who truly understand and master these principles. Therefore, forex traders are highly likely to choose a long-term investment approach. Choosing long-term investment means choosing the right investment path. With a certain amount of capital, it's generally possible to make a living through investment. However, this requires a moderate amount of capital. If the capital is too small, investors will struggle to withstand market fluctuations, significantly diminishing the value of the investment. While a moderate amount of capital can meet basic needs, achieving fame and fortune in the forex market is relatively difficult. However, with a substantial amount of capital, standing out in the market and achieving fame and fortune is not impossible.

In the two-way trading scenario of forex investment, there is a crucial misconception that ordinary traders need to be wary of—many people, guided by market propaganda or one-sided experience, mistakenly regard intraday trading as the preferred path to profitability. However, from the perspective of the actual trading rules and the suitability for ordinary traders' abilities, intraday trading is precisely the least suitable profit model for ordinary traders.

---

To understand this, it is first necessary to clarify the essential attributes of intraday trading: it belongs to the typical category of short-term trading, and its core characteristic is an extremely short trading cycle, usually measured in minutes or hours. Traders need to complete the opening and closing operations within a day, attempting to capture the small price difference profits brought about by short-term market fluctuations.
However, this trading model places extremely high demands on traders. It requires not only exceptional sensitivity to market fluctuations and rapid decision-making abilities, but also the ability to withstand the psychological pressure and costs associated with high-frequency trading. These abilities and qualities are precisely what most ordinary traders struggle to acquire in the short term.
Even more alarming is that in the forex market, some inexperienced traders are easily misled by unprofessional information when they first enter the field. They may even spread brainwashing rhetoric heard from so-called "course sellers," treating erroneous views such as "day trading is the most suitable way for ordinary traders to profit" as gospel. In reality, this statement is seriously inconsistent with market realities and can even be considered misleading to ordinary traders. From the perspective of risk-reward matching, day trading is essentially similar to "online gambling"—because short-term market fluctuations are greatly influenced by accidental factors such as news and capital flows, price movements are difficult to predict steadily, and traders find it hard to accurately predict direction through rational analysis, often relying on luck or subjective guesswork to make decisions. This leads to the vast majority of participants in day trading operating at a loss, and the core reason for their failure is choosing a short-term trading model that is incompatible with their abilities. From a probabilistic perspective, the success rate of short-term trading is extremely low because it requires repeatedly and accurately capturing short-term fluctuations; any mistake can wipe out previous profits or even result in losses. Conversely, the success rate of long-term investment is significantly higher because long-term trading focuses on long-term market trends, and trends often have stronger logic and sustainability. As long as traders follow trend patterns and avoid blindly engaging in short-term operations, not only is it difficult to incur significant losses, but it can even be said that incurring losses in long-term investment requires violating basic trading logic and risk control principles.
When forex traders truly recognize the inherent difficulty in profiting from short-term trading and switch to a long-term investment model, adopting the core strategy of "lightly leveraged long-term positioning," they can truly embark on the path to stable profits. Specifically, the strategy of using small positions for long-term investment requires traders to diversify their capital across numerous small positions after identifying the long-term market trend. Instead of investing a large sum at once, they gradually build positions along the trend indicated by moving averages. This strategy offers advantages in several dimensions: From a risk mitigation perspective, small positions effectively reduce the proportion of floating losses during significant trend pullbacks, avoiding the psychological fear caused by large single losses and preventing irrational stop-loss decisions made in a panic. Simultaneously, small positions also prevent traders from prematurely closing positions due to excessive greed when the trend continues and significant floating profits emerge, thus avoiding missing out on subsequent trend gains. From an operational perspective, this strategy avoids both "premature stop-loss" caused by overly large positions and excessive sensitivity to short-term fluctuations—many traders are forced to stop-loss when floating losses exceed their psychological tolerance during normal trend retracements due to over-leveraging, ultimately missing out on trend reversal opportunities; and "premature profit-taking" caused by overly high profit expectations and a rush to lock in gains—many traders close their positions at the beginning of long-term trends after achieving small profits, failing to fully enjoy the benefits of a sustained trend. In short, the light-position long-term investment strategy, by balancing risk and return and optimizing position management, allows traders to more rationally follow market trends, ultimately achieving stable operation and steady asset growth in forex investment.
