It’s been a long break for me in the trading business. 2025 marks 8 years of constant engagement with forex market.
Have I made money? No
Are my quitting? No
Just like Tom huggard said “ No one can teach you unless you teach yourself”
@JamesBruce131 I agree. 8years. I’ve exhausted all my funds. I could have continued my masters and PhD. I feel I’ve wasted time and money. I believe I can live off the market. I quit for now to work raise money, find a good mentor and come back.
After days of backtest and focusing Just on EURJPY these are the yearly results
Pair: EURJPY
Number of years: 14years
Red years: 2019
Period: 2011-2024
Goal : big moves + additions

I’m on a crazy backtesting journey. My focus is on EURJPY only.
I realize the system works if I can focus on one pain because the Win rate is so not good
THE WHOLE 2024 and 8YEARS OF CHASING THE FOREX MARKET
1. Not profitable because I cannot still decide. I keep switching from one pair to the next. Nothing consistent about the pairs I’m trading
2. I’m not able to push through the losing streak.
@MomoForex 8 years still not profitable. In hindsight the best thing I should have done is to find a verified mentor or a coach and from him, the strategy, mindset and other qualities
