You make a great point—there’s no substitute for time and experience in the markets. It’s one thing to read books or watch videos, but it’s a completely different game when you’re actually interacting with live price movements and learning how the market behaves in real time. I agree with your recommendation on starting with price action. It’s such a core concept because it helps traders understand the raw movement of the market without relying too heavily on indicators. Price action teaches you to read the story behind the candles, which is invaluable for making informed decisions. That said, I think the key takeaway from your journey is patience and persistence. Eight years is a long time, but it shows that consistent exposure and reflection are what truly lead to breakthroughs. For anyone starting out, I’d say focus on mastering one approach (like price action), keep things simple, and give yourself the time to grow into it. The market rewards those who stick around long enough to truly understand it!
As I said, I am a human who does human things. Why do you think profit margins tend to stay so narrow, despite the opportunities in the market?
He needs to generate the fake demo stats first. He will need to run 100 accounts and cherry pick the best one. That doesn't happen in a few seconds unless you are a bot, which I am not.
not that a demo account means anything, but you did say you would publish it "right away" and its been way past "right away."
Profit margins in trading stay narrow because of high competition, market efficiency, and transaction costs. As more traders identify opportunities, prices adjust quickly. Additionally, leverage amplifies both risk and reward, often resulting in smaller, more frequent gains.
I’ve heard the term 'narrow profit margin' mentioned before. What exactly do you mean by that? If you could express it as a percentage, what would you say you're risking versus the potential return? Because, as we know, trading is definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme
