In the two-way trading landscape of forex investment, a crucial premise that traders must deeply understand is that they shouldn't enter forex trading with the initial goal of "turning things around."

---

The so-called "turning things around" essentially involves the hope of quickly reversing current economic difficulties and achieving a significant increase in wealth through forex trading. Hidden behind this mentality is an eager desire for high returns, which often leads traders to ignore the objective laws and potential risks of the forex market and lead to irrational decision-making. In pursuit of the high returns required for a "turnaround," they may blindly increase their positions, engage in frequent trades, and even trade beyond their risk tolerance. Ultimately, this not only fails to achieve their "turnaround" goals, but may also exacerbate financial pressure, contradicting their original aspirations.
Given the inherent nature of the forex market, it's not a place for "turning things around," nor is it a field where "hard work" alone will inevitably yield ideal results. Contrary to what many traders believe, the core characteristics of the foreign exchange market are low volatility, low risk, and low returns. These characteristics stem from its unique market mechanisms: foreign exchange transactions are based on national currencies, and currency fluctuations are closely linked to long-term factors such as the macroeconomy, monetary policy, and international trade. Dramatic and sustained price fluctuations are rare in the short term, making it difficult to generate the high short-term returns needed to "turn things around." Furthermore, the correlation between "effort" and "results" in the foreign exchange market is not linear. Trading success or failure depends not only on a trader's knowledge and operational skills but also on uncontrollable factors such as global macroeconomic fluctuations and central bank intervention. Even if traders devote significant time and energy to market research and strategy refinement, they cannot guarantee stable, high returns. "Effort" is more of a foundation for reducing risk and increasing the probability of profit, rather than a sufficient condition for achieving a "turnaround."
For traders already facing financial hardship who hope to "turn things around" through the foreign exchange market, this choice often exacerbates the situation, plunging them into deeper despair. From a market perspective, profitability in foreign exchange investing is significantly more challenging than in the stock and futures markets. One of the core reasons for this is the liquidity of the forex market. Despite its massive overall trading volume, liquidity is often relatively limited in short-term trading of individual currency pairs, especially during non-main trading hours. This leads to higher transaction costs and increased order execution difficulty, hindering traders from capturing short-term profit opportunities. More importantly, central banks around the world monitor exchange rate fluctuations in real time to maintain currency stability and ensure the smooth operation of the macroeconomy. If exchange rates fluctuate beyond expectations, central banks may intervene at any time, such as adjusting interest rates or using foreign exchange reserves for market operations. These interventions directly alter the underlying trend of currency exchange rates, invalidating traders' judgment based on market principles and further reducing the potential for high returns through forex trading. Therefore, there are virtually no quick-hit opportunities in the forex market that can support a "turnaround."
However, it should be noted that the low volatility, low risk, and low returns of the forex market make it a suitable area for long-term investment. For investors with strong financial resources and a desire for stable wealth growth, adopting a scientific trading strategy can achieve steady asset growth in the forex market. A light-weight, long-term investment strategy is a key element to this need. However, even with this strategy, investors still face the two core challenges of human nature: greed and fear. Greed can lead to a desire to increase positions to capture further gains when a trend is extending and unrealized profits are increasing, pushing risk boundaries. Fear, on the other hand, can lead to blind stop-loss orders when a trend is retracing and unrealized losses are occurring, disrupting the rhythm of long-term investment strategies.
Leveraging excessive positions in long-term investments can easily lead traders to be swayed by these two emotions: When faced with unrealized profits, excessive positions can magnify the psychological impact of these gains, exacerbating greed and potentially prompting them to abandon their long-term plans, cash in profits prematurely, or add to their positions, missing out on further gains from a continued trend. When faced with unrealized losses, excessive positions can make the losses more palpable, amplifying feelings of fear and potentially leading to hasty exits before stop-loss conditions are met, resulting in unnecessary losses. Therefore, the correct approach for experienced investors in long-term forex investment is to maintain a large number of small positions, aligned with the trend indicated by the market moving average. The advantages of this strategy are: first, diversified, small positions effectively dilute the risk of individual trades. Even if a position incurs a loss, the impact on the overall account is relatively limited. Second, with a small position, the temptation of greed stemming from unrealized gains and the oppression of fear stemming from unrealized losses are significantly reduced. When there are unrealized gains, the returns from a single small position are limited, making it less likely to induce excessive greed. When there are unrealized losses, the magnitude of the losses is manageable, eliminating the need for excessive psychological pressure. This helps traders maintain a relatively stable mindset and operating rhythm amidst market fluctuations, ensuring the smooth execution of long-term investment plans and achieving steady wealth growth.

In two-way forex trading, many forex traders struggle to hold positions for the long term, preferring instead to trade frequently.

---

The reasons behind this phenomenon are multifaceted. Long-term investment is a lengthy and tedious process, and drawdowns caused by market fluctuations are inevitable. Many traders lack the patience to endure this long-term uncertainty and are unable to accept the lengthy payback period. Especially for traders with small capital, the returns from long-term holding, while stable, are relatively small, failing to satisfy their desire for quick profits. These stable but meager gains seem insignificant in their eyes, as they fail to bring significant wealth growth.
However, frequent trading does not truly solve these problems; in fact, it may make them worse. This trading style is essentially more like gambling than true investment. Through frequent buying and selling, traders may develop a false sense of security, believing they are market winners, able to freely control their trading rhythm and even double their capital in a short period of time. While this feeling of instant gratification is exciting, it masks the high risks associated with frequent trading. Every trade carries market uncertainty, and frequent trading means constant exposure to this risk. Ultimately, most traders exit this gambling-like trading with losses because they are unable to consistently make sound market decisions.
Therefore, forex traders need to understand that true investment isn't about seeking short-term excitement and quick returns, but rather about long-term wealth accumulation through patience and a steady strategy. While long-term holding requires enduring market volatility and prolonged waiting, it can help traders avoid the high costs and unnecessary risks associated with frequent trading. Only through sound position management and risk control, combined with a deep understanding of the market, can traders achieve sustainable returns in the forex market.

In the two-way trading system of forex investment, the first core understanding traders must establish is that investing is essentially a systematic game centered around position management and risk control, rather than simply speculative pursuit of short-term gains.

---

The essence of this understanding is to dispel the misconception that profits depend on market luck and instead place trading initiative within a controllable framework of rules. Whether choosing long or short positions, determining entry points, or setting holding periods, all must ultimately serve the core goal of "achieving returns while controlling risk." Position management determines the risk exposure of a single trade, while risk control determines the risk resilience of the overall trading system. Together, these two form the cornerstones of forex trading. Failure in either link can lead to the collapse of trading logic.
Once traders fully understand the importance of risk management, they will realize that all successful forex investors practice risk control. They never concentrate all their funds on a single trade. Instead, they allocate positions appropriately based on their risk tolerance and market conditions, ensuring that even if a loss occurs on a single trade, it will not have a devastating impact on the overall capital pool. Crucially, they set clear and strict stop-loss points for each trade. These aren't arbitrary, but rather a result of a comprehensive calculation based on technical support and resistance levels, the impact of key fundamental data, and their own acceptable loss margin. This stop-loss mechanism effectively limits the maximum loss on a single trade, preventing the passiveness of "holding on to losses" and fundamentally eliminating the possibility of trading becoming a gamble. It's important to understand that treating forex trading like gambling is extremely dangerous: gambling-style trading relies purely on probability and emotion, lacking a risk tolerance. In the event of extreme market conditions or repeated mistakes, it can easily lead to a significant reduction in principal, or even complete loss, ultimately leading to complete failure.
Beyond risk management, if traders further understand the importance of "adhering to discipline and executing plans," they will take a crucial step towards a mature trading system. A sophisticated forex trader will develop a clear investment plan before each trade, covering key elements such as the trade direction, entry point, stop-loss and take-profit positions, position size, and holding period. This plan serves as both a summary of market analysis and a constraint on their trading behavior. More importantly, they strictly adhere to their plans, unperturbed by intraday emotions. When market fluctuations exceed expectations, they won't blindly chase orders out of fear of missing out, nor will they arbitrarily adjust their stop-loss orders out of a desire to "recover a loss." When market conditions meet expectations, they execute their take-profit orders as planned, avoiding the risk of losing profits due to greed. This unwavering adherence to their plans allows traders to maintain composure amidst the market's chaotic fluctuations and reduces randomness in their decision-making. It's like installing a "navigation system" for trading, ensuring consistent progress toward their goals regardless of market fluctuations. Trading in this manner often exhibits a robust, "divinely guided" quality.
At the same time, traders must also understand the truth that "there is no eternal holy grail in the market; continuous learning is the core competitiveness." The foreign exchange market is a dynamic and complex system, influenced by multiple factors, including the global macroeconomy, geopolitics, and monetary policy. There is no single "perfect trading strategy" that works for all market conditions. Any once-proven method can become ineffective as market conditions change. Therefore, successful traders are constantly learning. They regularly research the latest market trends and conduct in-depth analysis of fundamental data from major economies (such as GDP, inflation rates, and interest rate policies), looking beyond the surface of short-term market fluctuations to uncover the core logic driving market movements. They also proactively review every trade, extracting replicable lessons from successful cases and analyzing the root causes of failures (such as misjudgment, lax discipline, or uncontrolled risk) to continuously refine their investment strategies. This cycle of "learning by doing, improving by learning" is key to traders' long-term market adaptability and competitiveness.
Furthermore, traders who identify the trading methods that best suit their style and goals will avoid becoming lost in the sea of ​​trading methods. There are various trading styles in the foreign exchange market, such as short-term trading, swing trading, and long-term trading. Each style has distinct market logic, trading frequency, and risk-return characteristics. Short-term trading is suitable for traders who are sensitive to market fluctuations and have ample time; swing trading is suitable for traders who excel at identifying medium-term trends and have a moderate risk tolerance; and long-term trading is suitable for traders who focus on macroeconomic fundamentals and seek long-term, stable returns. Successful investors don't blindly follow others' methods. Instead, they consider their own time, energy, risk tolerance, knowledge, and personality traits to find a trading style that best suits them and specialize in their areas of expertise. For example, traders skilled in macroeconomic analysis will focus on long-term trading, while traders with a keen eye for technical analysis will focus on swing or short-term opportunities. When traders clearly identify their strengths, they won't be lost in the market's diverse options. Instead, they can focus on improving their core competencies and develop differentiated trading competitiveness.
Finally, if traders can grasp the wisdom of "shedding the obsession with short-term profits and establishing a long-term investment perspective," they can achieve a higher level of trading awareness. Forex investing isn't a one-time deal. Short-term gains or losses don't define ultimate trading outcomes. Over-focusing on immediate profits often leads to "missing the forest for the trees"—for example, blindly expanding positions due to short-term gains, or losing confidence and abandoning established strategies due to short-term losses. Traders with a long-term vision, on the other hand, view individual trades within the context of a long-term investment cycle. They prioritize the long-term, stable growth of their overall account rather than the profit or loss of a single trade. This perspective, like "observing the game from the outside," allows them to transcend the limitations of short-term market conditions and view market fluctuations with a more objective and rational attitude. When faced with short-term losses, they first assess whether their strategy itself has flaws rather than rushing to dismiss themselves. Even when achieving short-term profits, they maintain a clear mindset and don't overestimate their abilities. This "bystander's perspective" helps traders avoid the emotional trap of being blinded by the market, allowing them to maintain a stable mindset in response to market fluctuations, laying the foundation for long-term trading success.

In the two-way trading of forex, for retail forex traders with small capital, the most viable path is undoubtedly swing trading and long-term investing, not short-term trading.

---

Short-term trading is inherently a high-risk gamble. While gains may come quickly, they also vanish quickly. Frequent trading can easily lead traders to become emotionally swayed and lose their rationality. Over time, retail forex traders with small capital may lose patience with swing trading and long-term investing, believing that these investment methods require a long wait for an opportunity, offer relatively limited profits, and are far less exciting and stimulating than short-term trading.
When retail forex traders with small capital are overwhelmed by the quick profits offered by short-term trading, their expectations for profit speed gradually increase. This can lead to a gradual loss of their ability to pursue swing trading and long-term investing. If they can achieve stable profits through swing trading, then there is no need for them to pursue long-term and short-term investing taking risks in short-term trading. Short-term trading is essentially gambling, and traders should never overestimate their self-control and ability to control human desires. Human greed is boundless. Retail forex traders with small capital may feel that the wait times for long-term and swing trading are too long and the returns are not lucrative enough, so they want to use their free time to try short-term trading to increase profits. However, have they considered that it is precisely during this period of time when they are short that they can observe the market more clearly, making better use of swing and long-term investments, and not getting caught up in the volatile market that disrupts their thinking?
If retail forex traders with small capital believe that their long-term and swing trading performance is acceptable, but their capital utilization is low, the payback period is too long, and the initial accumulation rate is too slow, they can try the concept of compound interest to gradually expand their capital and complete the initial accumulation. Short-term trading should not be easily attempted, as it is essentially gambling.

Within the two-way trading framework of forex investment, the widespread use of high-leverage tools and the feasibility of short-term, heavy-weight trading have led some traders to fall into the cognitive misconception of gambling, rather than adhering to the rational mindset of long-term investment.

---

The core problem with this trading model lies in its over-reliance on the serendipitous gains generated by short-term market fluctuations, disregarding the risk management and steady asset growth principles emphasized in long-term investment, thereby gradually deviating from the essential principles of compliant investment.
For "gambler-like" traders seeking quick, short-term gains, the high volatility of the forex market perfectly aligns with their desire for short-term profits. In this group's cognitive system, a single successful heavy-weight trade could potentially yield a tenfold or even twentyfold excess return. This highly tempting prospect of profit significantly stimulates dopamine secretion in the brain, forming a powerful neural reward mechanism. This mechanism will further reinforce their risk-taking tendencies, prompting them to repeat similar trades and even espouse the misconception that profits are difficult to achieve without heavy positions. They will then spread this irrational trading theory to other traders, creating a negative market contagion effect.
Successful forex traders, over their years in the industry, come into contact with a wide range of traders, from inexperienced novices to seasoned veterans. These traders each hold their own trading theories and market perspectives. Among these traders, novices comprise a relatively high proportion of those who believe that "only heavy positions can lead to profits." These novices often adopt aggressive trading strategies due to a lack of understanding of market risks and a desire to validate their trading skills. Meanwhile, some veteran traders, despite experiencing repeated losses and constant volatility over the long term, continue to adhere to this theory. Whether the underlying reason stems from a deep obsession with their trading system or a dilemma caused by excessive initial investment, it's difficult to pinpoint the cause. However, what is certain is that their unwavering commitment to the theory has become a key bottleneck hindering their trading performance.
Such "gambler-like" traders generally lack patience and won't proactively wait for clear market signals. They lack a thorough understanding of the professional logic for entering the market at key points, and they fail to develop a detailed and actionable trading plan. Their trading decisions are completely driven by their "gambler's" greed and reckless risk-taking, blindly chasing short-term gains. If they enter the market with a large position and realize a profit, they rush to close the position to lock in the short-term gains; if they face losses, they choose to hold on to their positions and are unwilling to implement stop-loss orders. The end result is usually one of two extremes: either their account is wiped out due to mounting losses, or they profit from a fluke market trend, resulting in short-term high returns. However, such gains are highly random and cannot be used to build a sustainable profit model.
From the perspective of human nature, greed, as a deeply ingrained psychological trait, is inherently difficult to control. Allowing it to dominate trading decisions will further amplify market risks. In fact, mature trading logic consistently emphasizes the importance of "maintaining patience and waiting for opportunities." The forex market doesn't always offer high-quality trading opportunities; it often experiences periods of consolidation. Blindly engaging in trades during these times only increases the probability of error. Therefore, traders should emulate the behavior of qualified hunters: patiently lurking before hunting, closely monitoring market dynamics, and then decisively striking when prey (i.e., clear trading signals) appears. Avoid meaningless trading. Such actions not only consume significant time and energy but also gradually weaken traders' rational judgment, causing them to deviate from their core trading objectives and fall into a chaotic trading state.
Among the core elements of forex trading, scientific and rational position management is undoubtedly the "essence" for ensuring investment security and stable returns. Traders should not covet single or multiple short-term high returns, fantasizing about turning their assets around through such means, as this mentality is essentially no different from gambling. Once a trader views the forex market as a casino and fails to proactively control their greed, they will ultimately be eliminated by the market's inherent laws. Regardless of the size of their investment, in the vast and complex forex market, it is like a drop in the ocean, unlikely to have a substantial impact on market trends. Failure to adhere to market principles and rational trading principles will almost certainly lead to losses.
In summary, trading in the forex market requires a scientific and rational position management system, fundamentally eliminating a gambling mentality. Furthermore, they must cultivate sufficient patience and only act when high-quality trading opportunities arise. Only in this way can sustainable and stable returns be achieved. While heavy positions and all-in trading (i.e., going all-in) may generate significant short-term returns, long-term market data and real-world cases show that these often result in account liquidation and are unsustainable. Only by truly overcoming human weaknesses like greed and luck, consistently examining market fluctuations with rational thinking, and strictly adhering to trading discipline can one stand out amidst the fierce market competition and become a "long-term survivor" in the forex market (i.e., a trader who achieves long-term, stable profits), rather than a "short-term participant" who quickly exits the market after a brief period of activity.
