Why Successful Traders Do the Opposite of 95% of Market Participants

Hello, fellow forex traders! Today I want to suggest that you look at your own trading from an unexpected angle: feel like a scientist creating a vaccine against cancer or a new android as human-like as possible. After all, it is often the most unexpected ideas that lead to success.

You have probably already heard all these trading tips, or at least most of them:

• Always trade in the direction of the trend

• Let your profits grow

• Psychology and discipline are the most important strategies

• Open your trades only with a risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2

In my opinion, the reason these "tips" are so popular is that they are easy to understand, not that they are effective in practice. More precisely, they are effective, but not for every strategy and not for every trader.

In other words, they all make conceptual sense. But not always practical sense.

Theory and practice often diverge, especially in the unpredictable world of trading. What initially seems like a good idea often does not lead to the expected results.

Finally, many traders follow this advice and eventually lose money... In other words, it is not that simple.

Perhaps it is time to start questioning the validity of such common trading wisdom.

First, ask yourself: "What if I did the opposite of what people are talking about?"

Instead of trading with the trend, try to trade against the trend.

Instead of letting your profits run, try setting conservative profit targets.

Instead of using a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio, try using 1:1 ... or even less! Scalpers will understand what I mean)

If you always try to enter at the beginning of a move, try entering 1 candle later.

I am sure you can come up with other ideas as well...

Naturally, as a precaution, you should test these ideas on a demo account. Or in a trading simulator. The simulator is faster, but a demo account is more reliable, because when trading in tester mode, the element of the "present moment" is lost.

I also advise adding ideas one at a time, not a whole bunch at once. This will help you understand what exactly worked and what did not.

If you eventually make a profit from your tests, that would be something.

The question is to figure out why you are making money by doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing.

There are valuable lessons to be learned from this.

If, on the other hand, you lose money while running your tests, then you should also find out why this is happening.

How is it that you are losing by following conventional trading recommendations? Could it really be that you should be doing the opposite?

What would that mean? How could it help your trading?

Again, you can get some valuable information here.

There is no single best way to trade, because everyone trades each particular trading strategy differently.

Thus, all you need to do is figure out what type of trader you are by doing the opposite of what you have been trying to do, observing your experience and, of course, the results.

Just as a fish does not know it is in water until it is taken out of the water, you will not know the gaps in your trading until you try putting something else into practice.

To sum up the above: I want you to come up with a series of ideas, possibly unexpected ones, to test together with your trading system. Such experiments will give you HUGE room to improve your strategy, and will also help you understand whether you are on the right path or not.
