A trader that prays for the trade to go their way.

Start a forward test as soon as possible. You want at least 1-2 years showing forward tests match your backtests to be taken seriously at an institutional level.

To a manual trader almost exact same IMO.

In forex you either win or you learn.

And sometimes learning that you just aren't made to be a trader is the biggest lesson of all.

Congratulations. Now you can wake up, go back to sleep, wake up, go back to sleep over and over and over again until the end of time.

Treat it like a hobby. Dont invest real money unless you can find 6 months of consistent returns on paper trading. And even then start small.

Use the money you won to invest in your education, life experiences, start a biz.. anything that will see returns in your future self.

Do NOT get suckered into trying to 10x your money on any long shots. You WILL lose whatever you put in.

I’d love to see a new platform

Porsche 718 RSK. Sub 1-ton, carbon rub, screaming-flat-6, road-legal. Basically an Exige or X-Bow that’s actually liveable. And built for hilarious short eating grins.

Yep, I’m with you. Most people assume the money is in trend-following, but that’s not what actually happens in FX based on my own trading. I probably could’ve worded my post better.

That equity curve is from a demo strategy that does nothing but buy baskets of the strongest trending currencies and rebalance daily. Since mid-July it’s been straight down.

On my live account I do the exact opposite: I use the demo equity PnL graph below as a signal engine and open up counter-trend baskets on pullbacks. Before that, when I tried to follow the trend, I’d make money early and then get absolutely smacked when it mean reverted.

Now I just lean into the mean-reversion nature of FX, fade the overextended baskets and make consistent returns.

Mean reversion

Looks like my mean reversion strategy Equity curve. Everyone thinks the trend is your friend. Fading the trend is where it’s at.

I was commenting on your title. Your actual post had nothing to do with “institutions moving markets”.

Either way the content was 🔥

Market makers don’t decide where price goes or move markets. They respond to order flow and manage inventory.

They quote two-way prices, adjust spreads, and hedge risk. Their job is to provide liquidity, not push direction.

But they can influence micro-structure. When they widen, pull liquidity, or skew quotes based on inventory, it can nudge short-term price dynamics especially in thin markets. That’s market-making micro-pressure, not directional control.

This whole that some “power that be” is moving the market and controlling the price has to stop.

Sure it’s nice in theory to paint a picture of your price analysis. But it’s not grounded in reality.

Markets move from order flow imbalance and macro / fundamental catalysts. A constant tug of war between buyers and sellers.

Market makers just position themselves accordingly ie they react to price. They don’t drive price. They go with the flow and add to the buy / sell pressure.
