Damn suntrader, you have become a true defender of futures-trading-only in futures sections. I like it. You remind me of a certain knight...
Especially towards the "mysterious" fx 2 dozen poster with 1 like folks. Everything with the word trade in it triggers the pipsters for some damn reason.
I don't think it's right to catalog this activity as easy or hard. From my perspective, it depends on how much knowledge you possess, how easy it is for you to understand this domain, and what types of platforms or apps you use to stay informed.
For example, since the beginning, I have been following Dough Roller, and they post a lot of information regarding this domain which makes everything easier and more acceptable if you ask me, it's not hard; I would say that it's acceptable since I had the patience to learn everything.
%% WHAT ever your experience; there are still win streaks + lose streaks. Is a lose streak difficult ?? That Depends. So sounds like your guts got it right/uneasy. Its easier than it used to be; plan
Yep, I ran simulations of loss streaks over a thousand trades for various win rates. Even 50% win rate has a loss sequence of 13 as I recall. Lower will be worse! Still, I usually lose more than once when I am being a dunce. For example, I have recently started trading crypto which is an interesting asset when it comes to price action. It follows price action perfectly, my sizing is fine, but it's still a beast I have to tame. I want to say it is because of lack of liquidity but according to the exchanges BILLIONS of dollars worth of Bitcoin are traded daily (lol). Point is, losing streaks need to be accounted for in drawdown cushion calculations. The calmness you feel once everything is in place... *chef's kiss*
