In two-way forex trading, forex traders should be wary of being misled by claims of low spreads or zero overnight interest rates. These seemingly attractive conditions often indicate that the platform may be a forex arbitrage broker.

---

Such platforms claim to offer lower spreads than liquidity providers (LPs), but this actually carries hidden risks. Normally, forex brokers should pass retail orders to LPs to balance risk. However, arbitrage brokers directly act as counterparties with small retail traders, accepting orders themselves rather than passing them on to LPs. This model poses minimal risk to the platform, as most retail traders ultimately lose money. However, if most retail traders profit, the platform may face a repayment crisis or even choose to refuse withdrawals to avoid bankruptcy. This behavior seriously harms investor interests and undermines market fairness.
Furthermore, some forex brokers claim to offer no overnight spreads, but this claim should be viewed with caution. For currency pairs consisting of the eight major currencies—the US dollar, euro, yen, pound, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, and New Zealand dollar—since their interest rates are closely correlated with the US dollar, interest rate spreads are generally narrow, making no overnight spreads a reasonable option. However, for high-interest currencies like the Turkish lira, South African rand, and Mexican peso, no overnight spreads are virtually impossible. Interest rates in these currencies fluctuate significantly, and overnight spreads are a significant component of trading costs. Therefore, if a platform claims no overnight spreads, it's likely that they're unwilling to offer profit-taking services to profitable retail traders. Unless they are Islamic forex brokers (charging interest is prohibited according to Islamic teachings), such platforms are likely unreliable.
In summary, when choosing a forex broker, forex traders shouldn't be attracted solely by superficial features like low spreads or no overnight spreads. They should thoroughly investigate the platform's operating model, regulatory background, and whether it actually routes orders to liquidity providers. Only by choosing a legitimate and transparent brokerage platform can you safeguard your rights and interests in the complex foreign exchange market and avoid unnecessary risk.

In the risk management system of two-way foreign exchange trading, "ignoring the seriousness and formality of forex broker regulation" is a highly misleading perception and may even pose a fatal threat to the security of traders' funds.

---

Regulation is not only the bottom line for brokerage compliance operations but also the core barrier to traders' fund security, trading fairness, and withdrawal safety. Even though the market environment has changed due to leverage adjustments, the importance of regulation has never diminished. On the contrary, due to the prevalence of offshore high-leverage brokers, it must be placed at the top of traders' screening priorities.
The 2015 Swiss Franc Black Swan event (the decoupling of the Swiss franc from the euro) is a living textbook example of the necessity of foreign exchange market regulation. In this incident, the Swiss National Bank abruptly announced the removal of its 1.20 exchange rate floor for the EUR/CHF, causing the currency pair to plummet by over 20% in a short period of time. Numerous traders holding highly leveraged positions were instantly liquidated. Many forex brokers, lacking sufficient risk management capabilities and regulatory compliance, were unable to absorb the losses (negative balance risk) and liquidity pressures caused by client losses, and subsequently went bankrupt and liquidated. This incident directly prompted global regulators to reflect on the risk management flaws of forex brokers. Subsequently, various countries introduced policies to lower leverage limits for retail forex trading. For example, the European Union's ESMA capped leverage for major currency pairs at 1:30, followed by similar regulations from the UK's FCA and Australia's ASIC. The US National Financial Conduct Authority (NFA) further reduced leverage to 1:50 (1:20 for non-major currency pairs).
The core purpose of regulatory measures to reduce leverage was to protect retail traders from extreme market fluctuations by limiting their risk exposure. However, this policy also objectively altered the ecosystem of the retail forex market. For retail traders with small capital, their core motivation for participating in the forex market is often short-term speculation and the desire to "win big with a small investment." These individuals, with limited capital (typically thousands to tens of thousands of dollars), generally hope to maximize their trading positions through high leverage, seeking the opportunity to "get rich quick," transforming the forex market into an "online casino." While the psychological cost of small losses is low, they harbor unrealistic expectations of "doubling their profits and turning their lives around." However, from a financial perspective, even if a small amount of capital can be doubled in the short term (e.g., from $10,000 to $20,000), it's still far from reaching the threshold of "financial freedom." This cognitive bias sets the stage for subsequent losses. Low leverage policies directly diminish this potential for "win big with a small investment." With a leverage of 1:30, a $10,000 initial capital can only open a position of $300,000. Compared to a $1 million position with 1:100 leverage, both profit and loss margins are significantly reduced. This discourages retail traders seeking short-term high returns from participating, ultimately leading to a significant exodus of retail investors from the retail forex market.
The exodus of retail investors has had a dual impact on the market and brokers. First, as the primary liquidity providers in the retail forex market (high-frequency trading orders support the liquidity of currency pairs within a narrow range), their mass withdrawal has directly led to a depletion of market liquidity. This has widened bid-ask spreads for some minor currency pairs, increased slippage on order execution, and increased transaction costs, further reducing the market's appeal to small and medium-sized traders. Second, for smaller, established forex brokers, the loss of retail investors has meant a significant decline in their core revenue stream (high-frequency trading spreads and fees), while maintaining compliance operating costs (regulatory filings, segregating client funds, and maintaining risk control systems) has not. Ultimately, these brokers face a deficit: unable to generate sufficient trading commissions to support staff and cover operating expenses, they also struggle to retain clients amidst fierce market competition.
To circumvent regulatory restrictions and maintain profitability, some legitimate brokers have resorted to devious tactics, registering subsidiaries or affiliated entities in offshore financial centers (such as Vanuatu, Belize, and the Seychelles). Using offshore licenses, they offer leverage far exceeding regulatory limits (often exceeding 50x, and sometimes as high as 1:500 or 1:1000), continuing to attract small-capital traders with a keen sense of gamble. The core characteristics of these offshore brokers are lax regulation and extremely high leverage, but these practices conceal significant risks. First, offshore regulators' enforcement capabilities and financial safeguards are far weaker than those of mainstream regulatory bodies (such as the FCA and ASIC). Most offshore jurisdictions lack client fund segregation systems, allowing brokers to arbitrarily misappropriate client funds for their own operations or risk hedging. Second, offshore regulatory complaint handling mechanisms are largely ineffective, making it difficult for traders to legally pursue legal action should disputes arise. More importantly, high leverage inherently amplifies trading risk. Even short-term profits can lead to a margin call due to extreme volatility, and if the broker experiences liquidity issues, withdrawing profitable funds becomes impossible.
In actual market conditions, the high loss rates of retail traders with small capital and the withdrawal risks posed by offshore brokers create a vicious cycle. Data shows that over 90% of small-capital traders in the retail forex market suffer chronic losses, while only a tiny minority with sophisticated trading systems achieve stable profits. However, these few profit-makers face the dilemma of being unable to withdraw their profits. Offshore brokers often delay or deny withdrawals, citing excuses such as "account review," "trading anomalies," and "compliance requirements." Due to the lack of offshore oversight, even if traders complain to regulators, their complaints are often dismissed due to "limited regulatory scope" and "high enforcement costs." This situation of "losing losses on one's own while profits are hard to come by" has further exacerbated the trust crisis in the retail forex market and fueled widespread claims that "forex margin trading is on the verge of extinction." The root cause isn't inherent flaws in the margin trading model itself, but rather the proliferation of unregulated or weakly regulated offshore brokers, which has disrupted market order and led traders to lose confidence in the industry.
It's important to understand that "ignoring regulation" is not a solution to market fluctuations; instead, it exposes traders to greater risk. For rational forex traders, regardless of market leverage levels, the primary criterion for broker selection should be the seriousness and formality of their regulatory credentials. Prioritize brokers regulated by major regulators such as the FCA, ASIC, and NFA, and verify their strict adherence to compliance requirements such as client fund segregation and negative balance protection. For offshore brokers offering leverage exceeding 50x, even if short-term trading costs are lower, it's important to be aware of the underlying fund security risks and withdrawal issues. The core value of regulation lies in creating a fair, transparent, and secure trading environment for traders and brokers. A market without regulatory constraints will ultimately become a "slaughterhouse" where a handful of institutions exploit retail investors. This is both a lesson from the 2015 Swiss Franc incident and a warning for the current market chaos.

In two-way forex trading, traders often focus on currency fundamentals, but simply focusing on the key factor of interest rates is sufficient. This perspective has important guiding significance in actual trading.

---

In the global economic system, interest rates are one of the core factors influencing foreign exchange market trends. While many economists and market analysts delve deeply into economic fundamentals, in actual investment trading, changes in interest rates often provide a more direct reflection of market trends. For example, changes in interest rate differentials can provide forex traders with clear trading signals. A narrow interest rate differential between a currency pair typically indicates a prolonged period of market consolidation; whereas a wide interest rate differential, a positive trend in the direction of the currency pair's movement, is highly likely to determine its direction. This analysis based on interest rate differentials is not only simple and easy to implement, but also provides traders with reliable market forecasts.
Although fundamental analysis provides guidance for investment trading in theory, in practice, its effectiveness does not always live up to expectations. A thought-provoking phenomenon is that despite the dedicated research of many leading economists worldwide into economic fundamentals, they failed to detect signs of a global financial crisis before it broke out. This suggests that relying solely on fundamental analysis may fail to fully capture the complexity and uncertainty of the market. If studying fundamentals truly guaranteed investment success, these economists would have become billionaires. However, this isn't the case. This suggests that relying solely on fundamental analysis may not guarantee success in forex trading.
In addition to interest rates, the inflation index (CPI) is another crucial indicator for forex traders. Changes in the inflation index can provide clues to monetary policy adjustments. When inflation continues to rise, it often signals the possibility of a central bank raising interest rates; whereas, when inflation continues to fall, it can signal an impending rate cut. This analysis based on the inflation index can help traders plan ahead and capture changing market trends.
However, the monetary policies of global central banks are not completely independent. To reduce currency siphoning, most central banks often reference the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy when formulating their monetary policies. Only a few superpowers or countries with strict foreign exchange controls can maintain monetary policies independent of the Federal Reserve. Therefore, when analyzing the forex market, traders should not only pay attention to their own domestic economic data, but also to the monetary policy developments of major global economies, particularly the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions.
In two-way forex trading, traders can adopt a simplified analysis approach by focusing on two key indicators: interest rates and inflation. By analyzing the interest rate differential between currency pairs, traders can predict long-term market trends; by monitoring changes in the inflation index, traders can proactively identify signals of monetary policy adjustments. This simplified analysis approach not only reduces information overload but also improves the efficiency and accuracy of trading decisions.
Furthermore, traders should combine market sentiment and technical analysis to form a more comprehensive trading strategy. For example, when the interest rate differential and inflation index point in the same direction, traders can trade with greater confidence; however, when they diverge, they should proceed with caution and incorporate technical analysis to confirm the market trend.
In short, in two-way forex trading, traders do not need to overly consider complex economic fundamentals. By focusing on these two key indicators, interest rates and inflation, traders can more effectively predict market trends and achieve stable profits in the complex and volatile forex market.

In profit management in forex trading, trader psychology often becomes a key factor hindering maximizing returns. "Quickly closing positions and securing profits after earning a small profit" is a common cognitive bias among forex traders (especially those with small or medium-sized capital). This behavior stems from both a fear of profit-taking and a lack of judgment about trend continuity.

---

However, when the market trend exhibits long-term extensions, prematurely closing all positions can cause traders to miss out on significant profits in the later stages of the trend, creating a passive situation of "making small profits but losing big." Therefore, the strategy of "closing some profitable positions to take profits, while retaining some to capture long-term extended profits" is not only a practical method for optimizing profit structure, but also a key means of regulating trading psychology and avoiding anxiety about gains and losses.
From a trader's psychological perspective, the practice of "closing profits when profits are small" is essentially an extension of loss aversion in profit-making situations. According to behavioral finance theory, the pain of profit-taking is far greater than the pleasure of a similarly large profit. When a forex account experiences a small profit (e.g., a 5%-10% increase in equity), traders instinctively worry that a market reversal will wipe out their profits, leading to an urgent need to "lock in profits." Even when technical and fundamental indicators indicate continued trend growth, it's difficult to resist the urge to close positions. This psychologically driven behavior often leads traders to exit the market at the very beginning of a trend: for example, a certain commodity the currency pair initiated a long-term uptrend from 1.0500, with the ultimate target at 1.1500. If a trader closed their position in full at 1.0600 (a profit of only 100 pips), the subsequent 900 pips of profit from 1.0600 to 1.1500 would be completely irrelevant to the account. Over time, this premature closing of positions would significantly reduce the overall account return.
The "partial closing, retaining" strategy addresses this psychological pain point and operational misunderstanding. By "staged handling of profitable positions," it achieves a balance between psychological security and profit potential. The specific operation logic can be divided into two steps: First, when the trading account achieves the preset short-term profit target (such as a single trade profit reaching 2-3 times the risk exposure, or an 8%-12% increase in account equity), close 50%-70% of the profitable positions. This profit capture can directly alleviate the trader's fear of "profit taking," provide clear psychological comfort, and avoid irrational actions caused by excessive anxiety. Second, the remaining 30%-50% of the positions are designated as "trend extension profit positions" and the stop-loss levels for these positions are adjusted (for example, moving the stop-loss from the "initial stop-loss" to the "break-even point" or "short-term support level"). This not only locks in some of the realized profits, but also preserves the opportunity to participate in the later stages of the trend.
From the perspective of trend profit logic, the core advantage of this strategy is that it "does not waste the long-term value of the trend." Trends in the forex market (whether upward or downward) often exhibit a "phased extension" characteristic. A complete trend typically consists of three phases: initiation, acceleration, and finale. The initiation phase is characterized by slower fluctuations and limited profit potential, while the acceleration phase features rapid, unilateral movements, significantly increasing profit efficiency. Closing a position in full during the initiation phase effectively forgoes the most profitable gains during the acceleration phase. However, a "partial closing and holding" strategy effectively captures profits during the acceleration phase by retaining positions. For example, a trader enters a long position on EUR/USD at 1.0800 with a short-term profit target of 1.0900 (100 pips). When the price reaches this target, 60% of the position is closed (locking in a 60-pip profit), leaving the remaining 40% open. If the trend subsequently accelerates to 1.1100 (another 200-pip profit), the retained position will generate an additional 80-pip profit (40% position x 200 pips), bringing the total profit per trade to 140 pips, far exceeding the 100-pip profit of a full closing.
More importantly, this strategy can gradually improve a trader's mental state, reducing anxiety over gains and losses. After partially cashing in profits, traders become more relaxed about holding onto their positions. Since they've locked in some of their gains, even if their positions experience a short-term pullback, they won't panic because they've "lost all their profits." Instead, they can more rationally judge whether to continue holding positions based on trend signals. Furthermore, the potential profit potential of holding onto positions can curb the impulsiveness of rushing to cash in profits and cultivate patience with trends. With long-term adherence to this strategy, traders will gradually shift from focusing on short-term fluctuations to grasping long-term trends. Their mental resilience and ability to discern trends will improve simultaneously, creating a positive cycle of "optimized operations → psychological maturity → increased returns."
It's important to note that the implementation of a "partial liquidation" strategy requires clear rules to avoid arbitrary discretion. First, the trigger conditions for partial liquidation should be set in advance, such as profit margin, timeframe, and technical pattern (such as a breakthrough of a key resistance level), rather than simply deciding the liquidation ratio based on intuition. Second, stop-loss adjustments for retained positions must be strictly enforced. Moving the stop-loss up to the break-even point ensures that even if the trend reverses, retained positions will not incur losses, completely eliminating the concern of profit-taking. Finally, the retention ratio should be dynamically adjusted based on trend strength. If there are clear signs of trend acceleration (such as increased trading volume and a bullish moving average), the retention ratio can be appropriately increased (e.g., 50%). If there are signs of trend weakness (such as a top divergence or shrinking trading volume), the retention ratio can be reduced (e.g., 30%) or further positions can be liquidated.
A comparison of the "full position closing" and "partial position closing with a position remaining open" strategies reveals that while the former can quickly lock in small profits, it sacrifices the long-term benefits of a trend extension and can easily reinforce the psychological inertia of "closing when profits are low." The latter, through a phased approach, maximizes the potential for trend-driven profits while maintaining a sense of psychological security, better aligning with the core principle of "trend-driven profits" in the forex market. For forex traders pursuing long-term, stable returns, mastering the "partial position closing with a position remaining open" strategy is not only key to improving operational skills but also essential for achieving "trading psychological maturity."

In two-way forex trading, traders adopting a light-weight, long-term strategy typically do not need to set stop-loss orders. The core of this strategy is to achieve stable profits through risk diversification and long-term holding, rather than relying on short-term market fluctuations.

In recent decades, central banks around the world have strived to stabilize their currencies within a relatively narrow range through monetary policy and intervention. This policy orientation has significantly reduced short-term volatility in the foreign exchange market, significantly limiting profitable opportunities for short-term speculative trading. However, despite the limited short-term volatility in the foreign exchange market, forex brokers continue to attract small retail investors by promoting high leverage. This combination of a narrow range and high leverage exposes small-capital, short-term retail traders to extremely high risk. In fact, over 95% of retail investors ultimately suffer losses in such situations.
To prevent retail investors from taking reckless risks, regulators in major countries around the world have imposed low leverage limits on forex trading. While this measure has provided some protection from the risks of excessive leverage, it has also further reduced the number of retail investors in the forex market. With the exodus of retail investors, liquidity in the forex market has also been significantly impacted. Today's forex market appears unusually calm, lacking its previous volatility. This shift in the market environment has severely impacted the business of retail forex brokers, even undermining some of their raison d'être.
In the current forex market, only a handful of well-funded forex investors remain. These investors typically place higher demands on the security of their funds, a requirement that only forex banks can meet. In this market environment, forex traders who can grasp the broader trend can avoid setting stop-loss orders, even during small pullbacks. The key to this strategy is to maintain a lightweight position size and mitigate risk through diversification. A light, long-term investment strategy not only mitigates the fear of losses but also curbs the greed that arises from profits. In contrast, heavy, short-term trading cannot effectively mitigate these psychological pressures and can even lead traders to make poor decisions amidst market fluctuations.
Another key advantage of a light, long-term investment strategy lies in its flexibility and adaptability. By repeatedly adopting a light position size, traders can gradually adjust their positions under varying market conditions, better navigating market uncertainties. This strategy is applicable not only to the forex market but also to investments in other financial markets. In short, a light, long-term investment strategy provides forex traders with a stable and sustainable profit model, particularly suitable for those with a clear understanding of market trends.
