A key and often overlooked misconception in the forex trading market is that many traders, while learning, unconsciously identify themselves as forex analysts rather than focusing on improving their practical skills. This cognitive bias often becomes a key factor limiting traders' profitability, especially in the flexible but risky market environment of two-way trading.

---

Observing the current market situation, it's easy to see that many forex traders continue to face losses in two-way trading. Even if they have systematically studied forex trading theory, technical analysis methods, candlestick chart interpretation, and even mastered analytical tools like trend line drawing and indicator parameter adjustment, they still struggle to reverse their losses.
A deeper analysis reveals that the root cause lies in traders being stuck in an "analyst mindset" for too long. The knowledge systems they learn and apply are essentially the core tools for forex analysts conducting market research and producing analytical reports. These tools focus primarily on identifying market trends, reviewing historical data, and constructing theoretical models, but lack targeted training in dynamic risk management, efficient decision-making, and mindset management in real-world trading.
For traders, the key to truly escaping the mire of losses lies in transitioning from "analyst" to "practical trader." Unlike analysts, the core competencies of true forex traders should be guided by practical training rather than theoretical analysis.
This practical competency encompasses not only the flexible application of trading knowledge and empirical analysis of market fluctuations, but also precise control of trading mentality—for example, decisive decision-making when the market breaks through key levels and the ability to tolerate risks when holding positions facing short-term losses. Furthermore, they must possess the ability to dynamically respond to market changes, such as adjusting trading strategies based on macroeconomic data, rapidly revising their position structure in response to unexpected events, and rationally taking profit stops when profits reach target levels.
Only by completing this transformation from theoretical analysis to practical operations can traders build core competitiveness for sustained profitability in the forex two-way trading market and escape the passive situation of chronic losses.

In forex trading, traders often fall into a misunderstanding. They tend to search for various investment strategies online or in the real world, then summarize, organize, and filter them, ultimately forming their own trading methods.

---

These strategies are often highly regarded and praised by the majority, leading traders to believe they are correct. However, this perception may not be accurate. In reality, these widely accepted strategies may themselves be flawed, even erroneous or distorted. If traders blindly adhere to these questionable strategies, they are doomed to failure. This phenomenon is common in the forex investment world, and many traders have fallen into the quagmire of losses as a result.
On the other hand, according to the 80/20 rule, in the forex market, only a few achieve success, while the majority fail. The reasons behind this phenomenon are worth pondering. In both the online and offline worlds, truly effective and practical forex trading strategies are often not those widely praised and admired. Instead, these successful strategies may be criticized, blamed, and even questioned. Many traders, faced with these unpopular strategies, not only fail to seriously consider them but dismiss them as nonsense or even mistaken. This cognitive bias leads them to cling to ineffective strategies, ultimately leading to failure.
This phenomenon highlights an important point: in the forex market, popular perceptions are not always correct. Truly successful trading strategies often lie hidden in overlooked or misunderstood areas. These strategies may be easily overlooked because they don't conform to conventional thinking, but in reality, they hold the key to success in a complex and volatile market. Therefore, traders need to maintain a clear mindset and avoid blindly following the crowd. Only through in-depth research and independent thinking can you find effective strategies that suit you, stand out in the forex market, and achieve profitability.

In the two-way trading world of forex investment, there exists a reality that is closely tied to the trader's learning path. Every trader must clearly understand this: practitioners who are truly proficient in forex investment trading and can consistently profit in the market tend not to prioritize "teaching." Furthermore, those who actively teach traders trading methods and strategies often lack solid practical trading skills themselves, and even lack the experience to consistently profit in the market.

---

This phenomenon isn't unique to the forex industry; it's a common problem across many skill-teaching fields. However, it has a more direct impact on forex trading, which relies heavily on practical experience. If traders mistakenly equate "teachers" with "practical experts" and blindly follow their teachings, they're likely to stray from the correct trading path from the outset.
This principle manifests more clearly in a wider range of traditional industries. Take kung fu instruction, for example. In theory, only practitioners with genuine kung fu skills can impart truly practical techniques. Similarly, in the field of traditional Chinese studies, only scholars with profound knowledge can accurately interpret classics and convey core ideas. However, the reality is that most people who claim to teach kung fu or Chinese culture lack the corresponding professional depth. Some kung fu teachers only master superficial techniques and lack real-world combat experience, yet they package their teaching as a commercial venture, profiting from large-scale enrollment. Many Chinese culture teachers offer superficial interpretations of classic texts, even incorporating personal assumptions. Essentially, they use Chinese culture teaching as a tool for commercial gain rather than a true cultural legacy. This phenomenon of "teaching without real skills" is equally prevalent in the field of forex trading instruction. Many teachers themselves lack long-term, stable trading performance, yet they transform trading instruction into a profitable business by projecting a "guru" persona and fabricating false profit stories. Naturally, the content they impart fails to help traders develop effective practical skills.
Returning to the two-way trading landscape of forex investment, another important point traders must clearly understand is that for ordinary traders aiming to master basic trading skills and achieve stable profits, "talent" is not the key factor in determining success or failure. The core of a trader's growth lies in continuous diligence and unwavering motivation. Traders must proactively invest time in studying market trends, repeatedly reviewing past trading cases to gain insights, and continuously optimizing strategy execution details through both simulated and live trading. All while maintaining a keen sense of market fluctuations and a passion for learning. Especially when a trader's goal is simply to earn a small living, meaning to achieve moderate, stable investment returns, the impact of talent is far less than that of acquired effort. By systematically learning basic technical analysis tools, establishing a rigorous risk control system, and cultivating a rational trading mindset, most traders with normal learning abilities can gradually improve their trading skills and achieve their desired profit targets through continuous training.
However, if a trader's goal is to become a top forex trader or investment trading guru, the situation changes fundamentally. In this case, "talent" becomes an indispensable core element, and within this talent, personality traits take a dominant position. These traits, such as calm judgment in the face of extreme market conditions, patience and determination in holding long-term positions, and resilience after consecutive losses, are often highly innate and difficult to cultivate through training or replication. Talent also encompasses a trader's inherent character, such as a fear of market risk, adherence to trading discipline, and a unique mindset—for example, the ability to quickly identify key signals from complex market information and to form independent judgments outside of mainstream opinion. Furthermore, luck factors can influence the path of top traders to a certain extent, such as whether they can encounter guidance from true, hands-on experts at critical stages and whether they can avoid devastating risks in early trading. However, it's important to understand that even with these natural talents, the development of top traders still requires long-term practical experience and continuous learning. Talent only provides the possibility of achieving excellence, not a guarantee.

In two-way foreign exchange trading, traders must first acquire sound and scientific investment and trading knowledge and concepts. This is the foundation of successful trading.

---

However, simply acquiring knowledge is far from enough. Traders must transform this knowledge into practical trading skills through extensive, intensive trading training. This process requires an investment of time and effort, but it is essential. Only through practical training can traders truly understand and apply what they have learned.
After accumulating sufficient training experience, traders need to enter the long-term practical phase. Through continuous trading practice, they can gradually develop trading habits and instincts. These habits and instincts are key to making quick decisions in complex and volatile markets. Over time, traders will gradually develop their own unique trading beliefs, based on a deep understanding of the market and confidence in their own trading abilities.
Ultimately, traders need to unlearn useless and erroneous investment and trading knowledge that can cloud their judgment and hinder their progress. They need to discard the "crutches" they rely on and learn to navigate the market independently. When traders can achieve this, they truly achieve trading freedom and liberation. This liberation isn't just about mastering trading; it's also about affirming one's own abilities.
If traders consistently fail to shed erroneous knowledge and beliefs, their minds will become like a cup filled with water, unable to absorb new, dynamic, and truly useful knowledge. Maintaining an open mind and the ability to continuously learn are crucial in forex trading. Only in this way can traders find their own path to success in the ever-changing market.

In the two-way forex market, successful traders who achieve long-term, stable profits often share a common trait: a humble and open attitude toward learning. This attitude isn't simply a willingness to learn; it's grounded in a clear understanding of the market's complexity and the limitations of one's own knowledge.

They are well aware that the foreign exchange market is influenced by multiple dynamic factors, including the global macroeconomy, geopolitics, and central bank policies. There's no "eternally effective trading method" or "absolutely perfect trading system." Therefore, they actively monitor the experience shared by other traders (especially successful practitioners with diverse trading styles and capital sizes), extracting strengths from their trading logic that can be adapted to their own systems and addressing weaknesses in specific scenarios. For example, if they excel at trend trading but struggle in volatile markets, they might study the position management methods and entry signal screening logic of traders skilled in volatile trading strategies. If they encounter gaps in risk control details (such as delays in executing stop-loss orders in extreme market conditions), they might draw on the risk management experience of traders who have experienced black swan events. This process of "learning from others' strengths to address one's own weaknesses" is essentially a continuous, iterative optimization of one's trading system and is one of the core reasons why successful traders can navigate different market cycles and maintain stable profits.
In stark contrast to successful traders, some small-cap retail traders exhibit significant deviations in their understanding and behavior. In various forex discussion forums (such as online investment communities and offline trading salons), these traders, with an unrecognized sense of superiority and blind confidence, often ask a variety of illogical questions to successful, large-capital investors with long-term profit records. These questions often ignore core trading premises (such as differences in risk appetite and capital size) or are based on erroneous market perceptions (e.g., "How to find a guaranteed profitable entry point" or "How to quickly double your money with a small capital"). Even worse, some try to pressure experts into sharing their core strategies by offering them "free access" through provocation and other inappropriate rhetoric. This behavior reflects a lack of respect for the value of trading knowledge and a disregard for the principle that successful trading requires long-term accumulation. They fail to recognize that the core experience of experts is the result of extensive time and financial investment in long-term practical experience. Furthermore, they fail to understand that even if they gain experience, it cannot be transformed into effective skills without their own practical verification and adaptation. Ultimately, they waste time in a cycle of "blind questions, unanswered answers, and questioning experts," missing out on genuine learning opportunities.
Even more alarmingly, some small-cap retail traders, even when they themselves are mired in persistent losses, continue to disseminate misleading opinions to other retail investors in an authoritative manner. This is typically manifested in articles that, despite lacking a deep understanding of trading methods, use absolute rhetoric to suggest that "retail investors shouldn't engage in left-side trading" or "retail investors must abandon right-side trading." This view not only ignores the individual differences in traders' abilities but also contradicts the operating characteristics of the foreign exchange market and the applicable logic of different trading methods. From the perspective of left-side trading (also known as counter-trend trading), the core principle is to enter the market when the market is near key support/resistance levels before a clear reversal, in order to achieve lower holding costs. However, this method requires extremely high capital scale, risk tolerance, and precise market judgment. Successful large-cap investors are able to employ left-side trading not only because they possess deep macroeconomic analysis skills (the ability to determine the long-term valuation range of currency pairs), but also because they have the capital to withstand short-term losses of 50% or even higher. There are also comprehensive risk hedging tools (such as using linked currency pairs to hedge some volatility) to mitigate market fluctuations during periods of adverse trends. However, small retail traders, on the one hand, have limited capital (most cannot afford to experience a loss exceeding 20%), and on the other hand, lack the ability to accurately judge long-term trends. Blindly attempting left-side trading can easily lead to being trapped and forced to sell. From this perspective, small retail investors do not have the basic conditions for left-side trading. However, this does not mean that left-side trading itself is ineffective, but rather that retail investors lack the ability and resources to effectively execute this method.
Looking at right-side trading (i.e., breakout trading), its core premise is the formation of a clear and sustained market trend. Only when the market breaks through key resistance/support levels and signals a trend continuation can right-side trading leverage its advantages of "following the trend." However, the nature of the foreign exchange market dictates that it doesn't always exhibit clear trends. As an investment asset with low volatility and low returns (relative to stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets), central banks around the world frequently influence exchange rate movements through open market operations, interest rate adjustments, and verbal interventions to maintain currency stability. These interventions often disrupt trends that might otherwise emerge, leading to prolonged market range-bound fluctuations. Even small retail investors who master the technical essentials of right-side trading (such as breakout signal confirmation and stop-loss setting) can struggle to execute effectively due to a lack of trending market conditions, ultimately falling prey to frequent false breakout stop-losses. However, some retail investors attribute this "method failure" to right-side trading itself, rather than a lack of understanding of the market characteristics and applicable scenarios. This misattribution not only misleads other retail investors but also causes them to miss opportunities to optimize their trading methods (such as switching to a range-bound trading strategy in volatile markets).
In fact, for small-capital retail traders, the primary prerequisite for overcoming losses and achieving growth is to learn from successful traders' "humility and openness." First, acknowledge your own shortcomings in market knowledge, trading techniques, and risk control. Then, proactively identify valuable learning partners (such as traders with a proven track record of long-term profitability who are willing to share their underlying logic rather than just technical skills). Systematically study how their experience can be adapted to your own capital scale and risk appetite, truly "learning from others' best practices to address your own technical gaps." For example, learn from the risk-return calculation logic of large-capital traders rather than blindly imitating their position sizes. Learn from successful retail traders' "small-capital survival strategies" (such as how to accumulate practical experience while controlling risk) rather than pursuing unrealistic profit rates. Only by establishing this rational learning perspective can small-capital retail traders gradually overcome cognitive misconceptions, find a suitable growth path in the forex two-way trading market, and gradually move closer to the goal of stable profits.
