Hello world, how are you today, hope there will be peace soon throughout the universe
Back to my trading journal today, writing a few words in a trading journal with FXOpen.
Yesterday I tried trading on the EURUSD pair, but unfortunately, I hit the stop loss and ended up with a loss. Well, maybe that’s normal because forex trading is like that, if it’s not a profit it means a loss.
Reading articles from the FXOpen blog, the differences between institutional traders and retail traders are very significant. Retail traders like me only use small capital, so they cannot influence the market.
This is very different from institutional traders who use personal capital, they can influence the market, although rarely in the long term considering that forex participants are not just one institution.
But from several expert tips, a trading plan is mandatory for retail traders, and implementing a stop loss is also mandatory to mitigate risk. However sometimes stop loss becomes a dilemma for retail traders.
Some traders may look for a broker that provides security and comfort, for example, there is loss protection, I saw that FXOpen UK, one of the entities from FXOpen, dares to offer loss protection of up to 85k pounds sterling. This company collaborates with FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme) which protects when a firm’s financial failure occurs. Even regardless of whether the client is a UK citizen or not.
Back again to the chart, this time via the Ticktrader platform monitoring the Bitcoin market, it still tends to move more stable.
US Crude oil or XTIUSD is also stable at around 73, the market is flat. Gold is also stable, and tends to still move flat near the MA 50.
