Skill vs. luck in Forex trading

Using the same 50% win lose equally prone success rate… A mixed group of Brokers win 90% of the pool as only 10% of miserable retail traders are supposedly making a profit… very, very lucky indeed…

For the Brokers…

I like to rely on skill more than luck, though both factor affects the Forex Market, but working with skills, can earn you better than relying on luck.

Yes skill is much important than luck . Luck matters some time when we win more than our expectations but we can not just rely on Luck. We can depend on our skill any time when are going to trade because it is real thing that works for us.

Oooh my.
I rely on my skills mainly, but if there would be some luck… why not? :slight_smile:

There are many types of trading, but I think to rely on luck will be a very bad decision.

I agree with you! Forex is a game of skill and practice. Though luck is an invincible factor but we cannot rely on luck in trading. Traders can be successful only by acquiring knowledge and applying that knowledge to predict the market movements with a proper trading plan.

Only skills and knowledge can help you to be successful in trading. Luck does not allow you to make consistent profit and you can not always depend on luck. So getting some knowledge will be helpful.

Becoming knowledgeable and experienced is not just helpful, it’s vital if you want to be profitable. Luck, when it appears, is just an added bonus.

There is no competition between luck and skill. Skill is good in all conditions as good or in bad market because we can handle it with skill. However we can not bring luck for us when we need it. Skill is very precious , it is key to success.

Interestingly, all of knowledgeable Forex traders are lucky here! On the other hand, low skilled Forex traders are unlucky when they try to trade seriously with their live trading investment! Basically, there is no secret of success! Be knowledgeable and be successful! I worked hard in my demo, even I didn’t consider the low percentage of successful Forex traders in Forex, as a result now I am able to earn money manually! So, success is not impossible here, just believe on yourself!

YouTube trading is mostly luck :slight_smile:

Skill is better than luck in the Forex.

The question is: can you lose money in trading on purpose? the answer is yes. Therefore, it is a skilled game. However, skilled athletes, poker players etc tends to be more lucky than less skilled.

Yes agreed, low skill trader need to Polish up their skill in order to be more successful in trading. Alot lost cos they jump into real trading without enough skill n depend on luck. If that the case casino is much better option for them. Alot of them when lost they tend to turn into revenge trading…

forex market it’s a place where you should have knowladge about trading, and you porfit depend from your skill you rightin this, but i think we can not compare it with poker. How much time do you trade on forex? With which broker do you trade?

Forex trading is very much not a poker game. It does not rely on chance or luck, but on knowledge, experience and discipline. Relying on luck in trading does not lead to good results.

Forex Trading is a very risky and you cannot rely on luck, we need to have lots and lots of knowledge and experience and skills to survive in Forex market. There are many skills that is needed to be obtained and improved in order to survive in Forex Trading.

yes forex trading is not poker game. do you trade on forex? for example i trade with liteforex broker and i would like to try to trade with deveral brokers at the same time i think it can help me to get more knowladge about forex market

Forex Trading is everything else but Gamble. You need to understand that you cannot rely on the Luck, you could never rely on merely luck and survive in the risky market of Forex. SO you need to be utterly serious in the Forex Market to achieve success.

Luck and skills both having their own values with trading. I don’t know but sometimes luck also work but most of the times your skills are going to help you.e
