Raw Spread or Standard Forex Trading Account Which Is Better for Scalping? Replied 2 months ago - Raw spread accounts come with a noticeable lower spread than standard accounts but the disadvantage of raw accounts is that you can close a trade in profit and still record a loss after their mandatory commissions are deducted.

The simplest strategies are usually the most profitable Replied 2 months ago - The most consistently profitable approaches are usually simple, but structured. Why? Because: Simple strategies are repeatable They are easier to execute without emotions They allow for consistency over time Meanwhile, complex strategies often fail because: Too many rules = hesitation Conflicting signals = confusion Hard to stick to under pressure

Liquidity Sweep In Forex Replied 2 months ago - It is important to understand that this behavior is not about large institutions targeting individual retail traders. Rather, it is a function of how markets operate when large volumes need to be transacted. Significant market participants, including banks, hedge funds, and algorithmic systems, require sufficient liquidity to execute their trades efficiently. Equal highs provide such liquidity because they attract a concentration of orders from many market participants. When price reaches these levels, the activation of clustered orders allows larger participants to enter or exit positions with reduced market impact.

what is meant by price action trading in forex Replied 2 months ago - Candlestick patterns also play an important role in price action trading. These patterns, whether single-bar formations like pin bars or multi-bar patterns such as engulfing candles, help traders interpret short-term shifts in momentum. A candlestick is more than just a visual representation; it is a reflection of emotional reactions, institutional orders, and market volatility during a specific time period. By combining candlestick analysis with broader market structure, traders gain a more holistic understanding of price behavior. Additionally, price action traders pay close attention to liquidity and volatility, especially in forex where large institutions dominate the flow of orders. Price often sweeps above highs or below lows to trigger stop losses and grab liquidity before moving in the opposite direction. This behavior creates patterns that experienced price action traders recognize and even anticipate. Such movements are not random—they are part of how the market balances orders and transitions between phases of accumulation and distribution.

a good trader knows not a 1000 moves but 1000 iterations of 1 move Replied 3 months ago - Course farmers stay unprofitable because they never choose a path long enough to become an expert. A beginner thinks the goal is: “Learn every strategy.” A profitable trader knows the goal is: Learn one setup so deeply that it becomes second nature.

What Is Order Block in Forex? Replied 3 months ago - 1.Look for a Strong Move (Impulse Move) Ask yourself: “Did price explode upward or downward from this area?” Look for: Long impulsive candles Multiple strong candles in the same direction A clear “push” in price 2. Find the Last Opposite Candle Before That Move This is the classic rule. For a bullish order block (demand): 👉 Look for the last bearish candle before a strong move up. For a bearish order block (supply): 👉 Look for the last bullish candle before a strong move down. That last opposite candle is the “order block.”

My dollar cost averaging forex strategy Replied 4 months ago - I guess you mean trying to get a better price using multiple entries. So, if I entered the first sell, Ii would wait for price to go up before entering the second sell and maybe with a bigger lot size?
