In the practice of two-way trading in the foreign exchange market, most traders encounter a highly deceptive cognitive bias. The most likely to lead to poor decisions and even significant losses is the illusion of "overconfidence." This illusion often creeps in when traders first enter the market or after a few short-term profits, gradually distorting their understanding of their own abilities and the nature of the market, ultimately becoming a significant obstacle to advanced trading.

---

Specifically, the illusion of overconfidence often manifests as cognitive biases across multiple dimensions: Some traders subconsciously position themselves as "chosen ones," believing they possess special talents or luck that surpass other traders. Even without systematic trading knowledge or long-term experience, they firmly believe they can excel in the market. They oversimplify the complexity of the market, equating forex trading with a simple game of "low barriers to entry, high returns," believing that simply mastering basic buy and sell operations will easily lead to profits. They even mistakenly believe that "profits are inevitable, and losses are merely accidental." Even worse, some develop unrealistic short-term goals, such as fantasizing about rapidly ascending from ordinary traders to "financial giants," controlling large sums of money and dominating the trading rhythm. They also view "getting rich overnight" as a tangible reality rather than a fantasy detached from market laws. These cognitive biases appear to represent positive expectations of one's own abilities, but in reality they represent a serious misjudgment of market risk and the nature of trading.
From a cognitive perspective, this illusion of overconfidence doesn't arise out of thin air, but rather is influenced by the combined influence of multiple factors. On the one hand, the forex market's two-way trading mechanism allows traders to profit in both bullish and bearish markets. This "two-way profit" feature can easily lead new traders to misunderstand that market opportunities are ubiquitous, leading them to overlook the professional development required to achieve profitability. On the other hand, some traders, in their initial demo trading or small-scale live trading, may experience short-term profits by fortuitously matching market trends. This "luck-driven profit" is mistakenly attributed to "outstanding ability," further reinforcing the perception that profits are easy. Furthermore, fragmented market information about "short-term wealth stories" and "young traders' rapid rise" can lead some to overlook the specific circumstances behind these cases (such as extreme market conditions or special resource support), equating individual phenomena with universal principles, fostering overconfidence that they can replicate these successes.
However, this illusion of overconfidence has a significant negative impact on trading behavior. First, it will cause traders to underestimate market risks. When they think they can "make a profit quickly", they often ignore the reasonable control of their positions, and even blindly use high leverage, trying to achieve short-term profits by magnifying their positions. However, they do not realize that high leverage will magnify the risk multiples while magnifying the returns. Once the market goes against expectations, it is very likely to cause the account net value to shrink significantly. Secondly, overconfidence will hinder traders' continuous learning. If they firmly believe that they "will soon become financial giants", they will neglect the study of professional knowledge such as the underlying logic of the market, macroeconomic influencing factors, and the in-depth application of technical analysis. They will be satisfied with superficial operating skills and find it difficult to build a stable If a trader fails to establish an effective trading system, he or she will eventually fall into a passive position due to lack of coping ability when the market undergoes complex changes; furthermore, the blind pursuit of "getting rich overnight" will distort the trader's trading mentality, causing him or her to focus too much on short-term gains and be unable to tolerate the time period required for trend formation, and then fall into the misunderstanding of "frequent trading, chasing ups and downs" - for example, rushing into the market when the trend direction is unclear, rushing to stop profits after making a small profit and missing out on bigger opportunities, or being unwilling to stop losses in time when losses occur, hoping to "recover the investment through a market reversal". These behaviors are essentially irrational decisions caused by overconfidence, which will often turn "profit expectations" into "loss reality" in the end.
More importantly, the illusion of overconfidence can trap traders in a "cognitive loop"—when trading results meet expectations, they attribute them to their own abilities, further bolstering their confidence. However, when losses occur, they blame external factors like "unusual market fluctuations" or "bad luck," rather than reflecting on their own cognitive biases or operational errors. This selective attribution perpetuates misconceptions, making it difficult to learn from losses and trapping them in a vicious cycle of repeated mistakes and difficulty breaking through. In fact, in the forex two-way trading market, even sophisticated institutional traders and experienced practitioners must maintain a constant respect for the market and manage risk through continuous learning and strict adherence to trading discipline. Traders who are driven by the illusion of overconfidence and fail to wake up and adjust their mindsets in a timely manner are likely to suffer heavy financial losses in the face of market fluctuations, completely eroding their passion and confidence in trading.
From a professional trading perspective, the path to advancement forex traders is precisely a process of "breaking down overconfidence and establishing rational cognition." This requires a clear understanding that the market is inherently uncertain, and that the key to profitability lies in "probabilistic advantage" rather than "absolute certainty." Becoming a professional in the financial field requires decades of accumulated knowledge and practical experience, while "getting rich overnight" is more of a fluke during market bubbles than a sustainable trading goal. Only by abandoning the illusion of being "the chosen one," facing the market's complexity and limitations, and continuously learning with humility and managing risk with rational thinking can one gradually break free from the illusion of overconfidence and achieve long-term, stable growth in forex trading.

In forex trading, talent is undoubtedly a crucial factor. Talent is a valuable quality in any field, and forex trading is no exception.

---

Traders with natural talent will find it relatively easy to learn and understand forex trading, quickly grasping complex market dynamics and trading strategies. However, talent isn't the only factor in determining success. Even without talent, through consistent hard work and dedication, a trader can still achieve success in forex trading. This effort may take longer and require more energy, but with perseverance, success is possible.
Forex trading is a discipline that requires in-depth study and understanding. Becoming an excellent forex trader requires not only diligence and hard work, but also a certain amount of talent. Talent can help traders better understand market dynamics and make faster decisions. However, even without talent, hard work can potentially compensate for a lack of talent. However, it's important to note that hard work doesn't necessarily completely compensate for a lack of talent. If a trader is destined to be an excellent forex trader, their natural talent will guide them to success. In this case, a trader only needs to put in a little effort to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Conversely, if a trader has mediocre talent, no matter how much effort they put in, they may not necessarily achieve the desired results. Therefore, traders need to understand their own role and find a suitable development direction, which may lead to better results.
A trader's talent can be judged by the difficulty they experience in learning forex investment knowledge and common sense. If a trader experiences significant difficulty in the learning process, they may lack talent.
Even so, they can still overcome their shortcomings through repeated practice, increased effort, and dedication. This kind of ten-year-long persistence, perseverance, passion, devotion, and dedication is itself a unique talent. While this talent differs from innate ability, it can also help traders achieve success in forex investment.

In two-way trading in the forex market, a trader's choice of broker and trading platform is crucial for both trading security and experience, and requires extreme caution. This aspect directly impacts fund security, trade execution efficiency, and the quality of subsequent service. A poor choice can lead to trading disruptions or financial losses due to platform issues, even with a sophisticated trading strategy.

---

It's important to understand that there's no such thing as an absolutely "perfect" or "completely reliable" forex platform. Every platform has its strengths and weaknesses: some platforms offer lower transaction costs but slower withdrawal efficiency, while others have strong regulatory approvals but higher spreads. These differences often lead to significant differences in platform evaluations among different traders. Even if you ask ten traders about the same platform, you'll likely get ten different answers. Therefore, when choosing a platform, traders shouldn't blindly rely on recommendations or single reviews. Instead, they should develop personalized selection criteria based on their own trading needs, capital size, risk appetite, and operating habits to find a platform that best suits them.
From a practical perspective, traders can screen platforms based on the following core criteria: First, the platform's operating history. Generally speaking, established platforms with a long operating history have advantages in terms of compliance, risk control, and service stability. Newly established platforms, lacking long-term market validation, may have issues such as immature operating models, weak financial strength, and even the risk of "running away." Therefore, when selecting a platform, it is recommended to carefully evaluate platforms established less than 10 years ago. Platforms established less than three years ago should be treated with extreme caution. Due to their short operating cycles, these platforms have not yet experienced a full market cycle and present higher potential risks, so they should be excluded for now.
Second, the platform's regulatory qualifications are a key indicator of platform compliance and fund security. Although domestic foreign exchange trading regulations restrict domestic traders from directly opening accounts under strict regulatory regimes such as the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the US National Futures Association (NFA), and the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA), high-quality platforms should at least possess these prestigious regulatory certifications. This not only demonstrates the platform's operational strength but also implies adherence to stricter fund segregation, risk disclosure, and customer protection regulations. Even if traders cannot directly access these regulated accounts, possessing these certifications can mitigate fund security risks to a certain extent. In contrast, platforms that only possess loosely regulated certifications from island nations like Cyprus have weaker compliance requirements and risk management, necessitating further evaluation of their overall capabilities.
Furthermore, the trading environment and withdrawal efficiency are crucial. Regarding the trading environment, the stability and connectivity of the platform's servers directly impact trade execution. Some platforms' servers are located overseas, and inadequately optimized network links can lead to significant delays in placing and closing orders. This is especially true during periods of volatile market conditions. Delays can result in missed trading opportunities and even lead to unnecessary losses. Withdrawal efficiency is related to fund liquidity. Some platforms have excessively long withdrawal cycles, often taking several days. This not only affects traders' ability to flexibly allocate funds but may also indirectly reflect the platform's inadequate fund management capabilities. High-quality platforms typically complete withdrawals within 1-3 business days, ensuring efficient fund turnover.
Transaction costs are also an important consideration, but it's important to avoid the misconception that "lower spreads are better." Spreads are one of the main costs of forex trading, and while low spreads can certainly reduce transaction costs, some platforms may attract customers with extremely low spreads while adding hidden costs in other areas (such as commissions, slippage, and overnight interest), or even sacrifice trade execution quality to reduce costs. Therefore, when evaluating transaction costs, it's important to comprehensively consider multiple factors, including spreads, commissions, and slippage frequency, rather than simply focusing on the spread itself.
Finally, it's important to be rational when evaluating online platforms. Every platform in the market has both positive and negative reviews. Online reviews often exhibit a "survivorship bias"—traders with positive user experiences and profitable trading experiences rarely share positive reviews publicly. On the other hand, traders who suffer losses due to trading losses, operational difficulties, or platform issues are more likely to vent their frustrations online, leading to a dominance of negative reviews in the information flow. While some of these negative reviews genuinely reflect issues with the platform (such as withdrawal jams and severe slippage), others stem from traders' own operational errors (such as excessive use of high leverage leading to margin calls) who then blame the platform. Therefore, online reviews should only serve as a preliminary reference and should not be the sole basis for judging a platform's quality. A comprehensive assessment should be made based on multiple factors, including regulatory qualifications, operating time, and personal experience.
In addition, the platform's domestic customer base can also serve as a secondary evaluation indicator. A platform with a large customer base generally indicates a mature operating model and a comprehensive service system. Because they involve a large amount of client funds and reputation, they are less likely to suddenly collapse or flee, absent force majeure (such as major regulatory policy adjustments or global financial risks). After all, the long-term benefits of maintaining an existing customer base far outweigh the short-term risks of illegal operations, which also indirectly reflects the platform's stability and reliability.
In summary, when choosing a platform, forex traders need to develop a multi-dimensional evaluation system, comprehensively considering core factors such as operating time, regulatory qualifications, trading environment, withdrawal efficiency, and transaction costs based on their own needs. They should also rationally analyze online reviews and avoid biased judgment based on a single metric. Only then can they select a platform that is safe, compliant, and suitable for their trading needs, laying a solid foundation for two-way forex trading.

In two-way foreign exchange trading, long-term, light-weight investing is often considered a stable strategy, aiming to achieve stable returns by using long-term holdings and smaller positions to reduce risk.

---

In contrast, short-term, heavy-weight trading is a high-risk strategy, aiming to achieve high returns by using short-term fluctuations and larger positions. This strategy is also common in financial investments such as stocks and futures. However, investors should understand that the financial market is not a place where you can easily achieve high returns with a small investment. Rather, it is a market where you can achieve high returns with a large investment, emphasizing stable and long-term wealth accumulation tired.
Many investors enter the market with the dream of making a fortune with a small investment, but this is essentially a gambling mentality, tinged with a strong speculative mentality. In reality, speculation only yields profits for a very lucky few, while the vast majority of speculators ultimately face losses. In contrast, long-term investors, through rational asset allocation and a sound investment strategy, can often achieve a reasonable percentage increase on their original capital. While this growth may not be as exciting as the doubling or tenfold returns achieved through speculation, it is a sustainable way to accumulate wealth and the true meaning of investing.
The financial market is essentially a game of capital, where the rich get richer. For investors with substantial capital, achieving substantial returns is relatively easy. For example, an investor with 100 million yuan in capital might easily earn 10 million yuan annually. However, the situation is quite different for ordinary investors. They attempt to achieve large returns with relatively small amounts of capital, such as earning 100 million yuan with 10 million yuan, a nearly impossible task. First, this strategy exposes investors to the risk of exponential growth, as gains and losses stem from the same source, and high leverage and heavy positions often magnify the potential for losses.
Therefore, in the financial markets, investors need to set reasonable goals and expectations, and manage their positions scientifically based on their capital size. Only in this way can investors achieve steady profits. However, many investors dream of achieving financial freedom with tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, but this idea is often unattainable. The myth of wealth is ultimately just that: a myth. Investors need to face reality and live and invest down-to-earth, rather than fantasizing about overnight wealth. Solid investment and steady wealth accumulation are the goals investors should pursue in the financial markets.

In the two-way trading arena of the foreign exchange market, every trader must clearly understand a core fact: there exists a universal and common underlying investment system logic within the market, which can be summarized as "buy low, sell high."

---

This logic isn't exclusive to any particular type of trader; rather, it's a foundational operational framework proven by long-term market practice and widely recognized by all types of forex participants worldwide. It's independent of specific trading cycles, capital size, or trader experience, and serves as the cornerstone of all forex trading strategies. Whether institutional investors focused on long-term trends or individual traders actively capitalizing on short-term fluctuations, their ultimate operational decisions are essentially guided by this core logic, differing only in the criteria for determining "low" and "high" and the methods of execution.
Furthermore, this universal investment system of "buy on dips, sell on rallies" develops more specific operational guidelines based on market trends in practice. When the market is in a clear uptrend, traders adhere to the principle of "buy on dips," placing long positions after prices have retreated to trend support levels but haven't deviated from the upward trend, thereby following the trend and capturing subsequent gains. Conversely, when the market enters a clear downtrend, traders adhere to the principle of "sell on rallies," establishing short positions after prices have rebounded to trend resistance levels but haven't broken the downward trend, leveraging the trend to profit from the downward trend. This extension of trend-based operations makes the universal system's logic more practical and serves as a common guideline for all traders when developing specific strategies. Regardless of whether traders ultimately choose long-term or short-term trading, or whether they hold a light or heavy position, their operational principles revolve around the core principle of "following the trend, buying on dips and selling on rallies." No trading model that deviates from this principle can achieve long-term, stable profits.
However, it's important to understand that while the core logic of universal investment systems is highly unified, the actual trading systems of different traders vary significantly. These differences primarily manifest in their judgment and selection of specific buy and sell positions. First, from the perspective of individual traders, each trader's risk tolerance, money management habits, sensitivity to market fluctuations, and preferred trading cycles (e.g., intraday short-term, weekly mid-term, or monthly long-term) all vary. For example, a trader with a lower risk tolerance might define "low" as a 10% retracement, while a trader with a higher risk appetite might consider a 5% retracement to be "low." Short-term traders will focus more on support and resistance levels in 15-minute and hourly candlestick charts, while long-term traders prioritize key daily and weekly levels. These individual differences lead to distinct judgments on "buy" and "sell" points, even when faced with the same market conditions.
Secondly, from the perspective of trading instruments, the inherent differences in the properties of different foreign exchange instruments or currency pairs will further exacerbate differences in buying and selling positions. For example, the price drivers of gold and crude oil are quite different. As a safe-haven asset, gold's price fluctuations are more influenced by global geopolitical risks, the US dollar index, and inflation expectations. These fluctuations are larger and the trend is more persistent. Therefore, when determining "low" and "high" prices, it is often necessary to combine macroeconomic data with long-term technical patterns. Crude oil prices, on the other hand, are more dependent on supply and demand, OPEC+ production cuts, and expectations of a global economic recovery. Short-term fluctuations are frequent and more directly influenced by news. Therefore, when determining buying and selling positions, it is necessary to pay more attention to short-term supply and demand data and real-time news. Looking at currency pairs, the characteristics of EUR/USD and USD/JPY also differ significantly. EUR/USD's fluctuations more closely reflect the differential economic growth rates and diverging monetary policies between the Eurozone and the United States, and are significantly influenced by the Eurozone's internal political situation. USD/JPY, on the other hand, is more closely linked to the interest rate differential between the US and Japan, the Bank of Japan's easing policy, and global risk sentiment. Its fluctuations are more inclined towards carry trading and risk aversion.
These instruments are like individuals with their own unique "personalities," with distinct price fluctuation patterns, key influencing factors, and trend continuity. Therefore, different strategies must be developed based on their specific characteristics when determining buy and sell positions for each instrument. There is no single "unified buy and sell point standard" that applies to all instruments, nor can any trader simply replicate their buy and sell method for one instrument and achieve consistent profits in another. This dual influence of "individual differences + instrument differences" means that traders cannot simply copy others' specific buying and selling strategies. Instead, they must gradually explore and refine their own trading systems based on the core logic of universal systems, combining their own characteristics with the instrument's attributes. Attempts to establish a "unified buy and sell point" fundamentally misunderstand the complexity and diversity of the market and are difficult to implement in actual trading.
