Funny joke, but itâs a fact!
Yes completely agree with you when news and prices are not correlated this is the most annoying thing and then try to figure out why this is happening.
Incompetent Forex trader losing other peopleâs money. Giving Forex trader a bad NAME. Lose your own money! Sink or Swim alone!

Mentors on Whatsapp and Telegram groups who copy and paste results and signals and make people pay for them and selling indicators ANNOY ME!
yea, theyâre not helpful at all. This one telegram group I was in was nothing but people just posting results, but offering no insights. And acted like they didnât want to reveal any of their strategy. He used to just tell people basic stuff that any beginner would easily figure out themselves by just reading. Iâm just going to assume itâs their way to get people to want to pay them for their strategies, by showing people how profitable they are
Happened with me too. Itâs frustrating. I am trying to be more careful now.
Interference from governing bodies that tell me how I should trade my money.
I need to spend so much time to analyze the market to be able to make a good deal.
scams, regulators and forgetting to set SL & failing to reach TPs
haha, same here and oh, that hurts a lot. Buy teddy bear and kick without guilty. 
i feel the most the annoying thing in forex is SLIPPAGE. It just comes as a byproduct in trading forex.
When the brokers platform freezes, i donât know if itâs just my broker, or if its a universal thing
You can be sure itâs one of 4 things:
- Your internet connection
- Your brokerâs platform/server
- The bridge provider
- The brokerâs LP might be having issues on their side.
P.S Point 3 and 4 do not apply for demo accounts and Dealing Desk brokers
Itâs definitely not my internet connection, everything else will work fine but the platform. It will go down for say⌠anything between 5-20 mins; and its always at times when the market is being erratic
Seems like the broker youâre using has issues with their servers being unable to handle the load. Or their bridge (or Liquidity Provider) is having the server issues.
Last but not least - is it possible that youâre trading with a MM and youâbe been profitable lately?
Like I said in a previous thread - some of the brokerage executives that Iâve worked with have told me that when a trader starts winning too much with their company (MM/DD) they would start throttling his orders and execution times deliberately.
Whichever the case may be - Itâs probably best to start looking for a new broker.
Pick 2-3 others that claim to be STP (Agency-only model) brokers and start testing on demo with them.
Compare the charts durring volatile times and news. Itâs important to note - you must open your demos with brokers that provide the same conditions on demo as they would on live, otherwise itâs not going to work and you will see different charts.
Good luck!

What really bothers me is false advertising. Nowadays the forex world is littered with âget rich quickâ claims and âpsychologyâ trading courses. It really gives a new trade a false sense of what being a successful trader is all about.
1, Understanding Macro Changes
2. Consistency
3. Focus on Right business decisions, not profits
Think about this: that new âeasy patternâ that guarantees profits. DO THE BIG INSTITUTIONS KNOW THIS PATTERN? ARE THEY MUCH MORE WELL FUNDED? Technical patterns alone without Macro analysis is a recipe for disaster. Ask any large hedge fund/banking institution- they do not use technicals alone
Hope this helps those out there, especially those of you just starting

scams and bogus claims really get on my nerves
Sometimes I am felt annoying after put stop loss then hit by price, but not too long ahead the price move toward reached target profit, but however this already occurred, although we felt disappointed but can`t do anything, and we must accept all these risks as part in trading, loss and profit is part in trading, we must accept all profit and loss that obtained
