In forex trading, traders must clearly understand that trading is essentially a game of probability, but also a game of rules. This understanding is the foundation for traders to maintain rationality and discipline in a complex and volatile market.

---

Forex trading is not gambling, but a rule-based activity. Gambling relies on luck, while trading relies on strict discipline and logic. Just as traffic lights operate under the law: after a red light comes a green light, and after a green light turns red, it turns red. Similarly, in the forex market, extended trends are inevitably followed by pullbacks. By observing the magnitude and length of pullbacks, traders can infer the strength and sustainability of the trend.
Forex trading strategies must adhere to the basic rules of the market. These rules include: avoiding heavy positions and adopting a light position strategy; avoiding counter-trend trading and instead following the trend; and avoiding excessive leverage. Even when faced with extremely tempting opportunities, leverage should not exceed 5x. These rules are designed to help traders manage risk and maintain a stable trading posture amidst market fluctuations.
When a trade is generally correct but experiencing a floating loss, traders should maintain a light position and hold on to their positions. This strategy relies on long-term confidence in market trends and a tolerance for short-term fluctuations. Conversely, when a trade is generally incorrect, even if there is a floating profit, traders should decisively close their positions and reverse their positions, maintaining a light position. This strategy helps correct errors promptly and avoid further losses.
Though simple, these rules are rarely mentioned in actual trading. They emphasize that in forex trading, traders require not only technical analysis skills but also a deep understanding and strict adherence to market rules. By following these rules, traders can find certainty amid market uncertainty and achieve stable, long-term profits.

In the forex market's evolutionary cycle, a crucial yet often overlooked principle is that the market spends the vast majority of its time in a consolidation phase, not a trend.

---

The core characteristic of a consolidation market is repeated price fluctuations within a specific range, lacking a clear upward or downward trend. The forces of both bulls and bears are in a relatively balanced state—with neither sustained breakout momentum nor clear trend continuation signals. This "directionless, highly volatile" market severely tests the emotions and patience of retail traders, becoming a major source of wear and tear on their trading confidence.
For retail traders, the emotional drain of a consolidation market manifests itself in multiple ways. First, the frequent price fluctuations during a consolidation period constantly trigger traders' "trading impulses"—they're tempted to go long on a short-term surge, and short on a short-term dip. However, without clear trend logic to support these short-term fluctuations, these short-term fluctuations can easily lead to a cycle of "stop-loss orders on long positions and stop-loss orders on short positions." Repeated losses gradually erode traders' confidence. Second, prolonged consolidation wears down traders' patience. Most retail investors, accustomed to pursuing "quick profits," find it difficult to tolerate prolonged market stagnation. While constantly awaiting trend signals, they can easily deviate from their established trading plans due to impatience, either blindly entering the market or losing patience and abandoning their positions just before the trend begins. Finally, consolidation markets are plagued by the constant occurrence of "false breakout" signals. After being misled by these false signals, traders can become hesitant, hesitant to trust the signals and enter the market, developing a conflicting fear of missing out and making mistakes, further exacerbating their emotional drain.
More importantly, retail traders often struggle with maintaining a firm position during consolidation periods, a problem that directly leads to them missing out on the key profits of trending markets. After a long period of consolidation, the forex market often experiences a sudden directional breakout, driven by fundamental changes (such as macroeconomic data releases or central bank policy adjustments) or capital flows. This can result in a rapid bullish trend or a sharp bearish decline. Once established, these trends often persist. However, because retail investors have been emotionally drained during the initial consolidation, have experienced a loss of capital due to repeated trading, or have lost patience and exited the market prematurely, when the trend suddenly starts, the vast majority of them are either short-positioned and unable to follow suit. Or, lacking confidence in the trend signals, they hesitate and wait and see, missing out on the opportunity to enter the market. The end result is that retail traders, having expended considerable energy and capital during the prolonged consolidation, are unable to share in the profits during the major trend extension phase, which could actually bring significant returns, due to their lack of positions. This leads to a vicious cycle of consolidation losses and missing out on the trend.
Fundamentally, the difficulties retail traders face during consolidation markets stem from a lack of understanding of market cycles and trading discipline. If they can clearly recognize that consolidation is a prelude to a trend, understand the emotional drain of consolidation, and develop a strategy of "trial and error with a light position during consolidation periods and follow through with a heavy position during trending periods," while also adhering to trading discipline—not being triggered by short-term fluctuations and not abandoning positions due to exhaustion of patience—then they can preserve their strength during consolidation periods and seize opportunities when trends begin. For retail investors, the key to navigating consolidation markets isn't "predicting a breakout direction," but rather "managing emotions, maintaining discipline, and maintaining positions." Only in this way can they truly achieve sustainable profits within the forex market's "consolidation-trend" cycle.

In forex trading, traders aren't looking for a few short-term profits, but rather long-term returns. This long-term perspective requires traders to possess strategic foresight and patience, focusing on sustained wealth accumulation rather than short-term gains.

Successful forex traders are like towering trees, their roots deeply embedded in the soil, enabling them to withstand the turbulent market storms. They accumulate wealth through long-term, sustained effort, rather than relying on short-term speculation. This long-term perspective not only helps them withstand market fluctuations but also ensures stable profits over the long term.
When forex traders first enter the market, they often approach it with boundless curiosity and joy. They are excited by market fluctuations and eager to capitalize on every trade. However, as they mature and truly understand the logic of forex trading—including core issues like when to buy and when to sell, why to accept floating losses rather than stop-loss orders, and why to decisively close positions to profit—they often find that fewer and fewer people are able to truly understand and discuss these deeper issues. This sense of isolation is not accidental; it stems from their deep understanding of the market's essence, while most others remain superficial. This sense of loneliness is precisely the beginning of their journey toward stable profits.
In forex trading, truly successful traders require not only profound technical knowledge and extensive experience, but also a resolute mindset and a deep understanding of the market. Through long-term practice and reflection, they gradually develop their own trading philosophies and strategies. This philosophy and strategy enables them to find certainty amidst market uncertainty, thereby achieving long-term, stable profits. This ability is the fundamental difference between them and most traders.

In forex trading, successful traders rely not on precise entry timing but on the ability to maintain stable positions. This ability stems from a deep understanding of market trends and unwavering faith in their trading systems.

Ordinary traders often panic when faced with a short-term loss, while successful traders fear missing out on opportunities to enter long-term trends. They understand that major market trends don't unfold overnight, and profits aren't accumulated through one-time gains. Long-term investing inevitably involves market fluctuations, market shakeouts, and drawdowns. These fluctuations are part of the market and an inevitable part of the long-term investment process.
Successful traders remain calm in the face of floating losses. This isn't because they're indifferent to volatility, but rather because they have unwavering confidence in their trading system and market trends, and they have complete faith in their own judgment. In contrast, ordinary traders often close their positions prematurely, not because their trading skills are inadequate, but because their trading mindset is weak. Their accounts can't withstand the pressure of floating losses, and their resilience is weak.
In contrast, successful traders can withstand floating losses during extended trends and hold onto long-term positions, thereby steadily accumulating wealth. This ability requires not only technical support but also mental fortitude. Through years of practice and accumulated experience, they have learned to remain calm amidst market fluctuations, detaching from short-term fluctuations and focusing on long-term goals. This mindset and ability are the keys to their success in forex trading.

In the forex trading system, "buying high and selling low" merely means that the trader has a basic understanding of short-term market fluctuations, but it's far from being considered "skilled trading." Buying high and selling low is essentially passively following short-term trends, lacking a deep understanding of market logic and easily falling into the trap of "buying high and selling low."

The key to truly entering the "entry stage" of forex trading is the ability to "grasp turning points." This means being able to identify the start and end points of a market trend through technical analysis (such as pattern breakouts and indicator divergences) and market sentiment (such as capital flows and position changes), shifting from "passive following" to "active positioning." This is the key difference between "beginner" and "advanced" traders.
From the perspective of forex market trading patterns, buying high and selling low often falls under the purview of short-term trading. Short-term trading aims to capture minute- and hourly fluctuations, but its success rate is extremely low. Firstly, short-term market trends are significantly affected by random factors such as liquidity shocks and news disturbances, resulting in poor trend stability and difficulty in developing a replicable profit model. Secondly, short-term trading involves high transaction frequency, and the accumulated fees and spread costs will continuously erode account returns, making it very easy to fall into a cycle of losses over the long term. In contrast, long-term trading, while offering greater trend certainty and lower transaction costs, presents significant barriers to entry for retail traders with small capital. Firstly, their limited capital makes it difficult to withstand the significant fluctuations in long-term holdings, nor can they mitigate risk through diversification. Secondly, retail traders often face the real financial needs of "feeding their families," unable to tolerate the lengthy cycles of long-term investment and find it difficult to stick to long-term positions.
With short-term trading offering low odds and long-term trading requiring high barriers to entry, swing trading has become the optimal choice for retail traders with small capital. It avoids the high-frequency volatility of short-term trading, nor the long cycles and financial pressure of long-term trading. Instead, it aims to capture medium-term market fluctuations on daily and weekly charts, balancing profit certainty with financial flexibility. The core principle of swing trading isn't to "strive to be right every time," but to achieve stable returns through "fault-tolerant trading." After identifying a swing's turning point, entering the market in batches with multiple, small positions (known as "order scheduling") avoids the risk of "turning point misjudgment" (such as the potential for floating losses caused by a delayed turning point) associated with a single, heavily weighted entry. It also reduces the risk exposure of individual trades by diversifying entries, ensuring the stability of the account amidst market fluctuations.
For swing trading, "pacing" is far more important than "high-frequency trading." The evolution of a swing market follows distinct phases (startup, acceleration, and closing). Traders should adjust their holding strategies accordingly: use a light position for trial and error during the start-up phase, gradually increase positions during the acceleration phase, and promptly take profits during the closing phase, rather than entering and exiting positions frequently and disrupting their trading rhythm. Excessive pursuit of high-frequency trading can lead to missing out on the main upswings and downswings of the swing market and increase the probability of losses due to frequent misjudgments.
Furthermore, accurately identifying "swing inflection points" is a prerequisite for swing trading. Only by keeping an eye on inflection points can traders discuss swing strategies. Inflection points in forex trading typically occur in three key scenarios: first, during periods of extreme panic (e.g., a market plunge caused by breaking news triggers panic selling by most traders, often marking the bottom of a trading range); second, during periods of maximum divergence (e.g., when long and short positions are balanced and the market oscillates, the breakout direction formed after the capital game is a turning point); and third, during periods of reversal in expectations (e.g., when major changes in macroeconomic data or central bank policies cause market expectations of a currency pair to shift from bearish to bullish, marking the initial inflection point of a trading range). Traders must combine technical analysis with fundamental analysis to accurately capture these three types of inflection point signals and provide a basis for strategic trading decisions.
For retail traders with small capital, successful swing trading requires three key skills: first, the ability to identify inflection points. This can be improved through studying candlestick chart patterns, volume-price relationships, and macroeconomic analysis. Second, position management. Mastering the use of a small, phased strategy can help control risk exposure. Third, pacing and rhythm control can help adjust trading frequency and holding periods based on the phase of the swing, avoiding high-frequency trading and excessive trading. Only by mastering these three skills can one achieve stable profits in swing trading, gradually build capital, and lay the foundation for a future transition to long-term trading.
