When you hit the buy button after price action has met your entry requirement only to coincidentally buy at the exact market top…man, that’s annoying. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I feel the most distracted when I analyze the market for hours and expect a better result but fail to obtain.

One of the most annoying things for beginners in forex trading is the feeling of overwhelm and information overload. The vast amount of terminology, charts, indicators, and strategies can be overwhelming, making it challenging to know where to start. It’s important to take it step by step, focus on learning the basics, and gradually build your knowledge and skills to overcome this initial frustration.

Forex trading can evoke various emotions, including fear, greed, and frustration. In fact managing emotions and maintaining discipline is crucial for successful trading, but it can be challenging, especially during periods of losses or market uncertainty. It is one of the annoying things in forex for me.

Is it worth the risk to wait so long. Are you using multiple time frames?

Makes sense. I does get overwhelming. I’ve seen that its better to keep it simple. VWAP with only one Moving average

Hi. I have learned a lot from the YouTube, the channel is Secret Mindset. Very useful clear lessons with many different approaches.

The decision to wait for a trade setup depends on the trading strategy and style.
Analyzing multiple time frames can provide a broader perspective of the market.

Thank you for sharing . I will watch them.

Slippage is my biggest annoyance. I hate it.

In such situations, I try to learn from them, find my weak points, and try to avoid them in my next trade. Another important point is to try to set your plan and not make a decision and change your plan when your trade is open under the pressure of the feeling.

Not just Forex but brokers, they have adjusted the margin requirements so you leave too much capital exposed to the markets, ultimately when a long-tail event comes along that exposure does nothing good, we worked out a way around it with some fancy code as it looks like there is something quite spectacular brewing in the markets, and that exposure is not going to have a happy ending for most people.

I am still a newbie, so I haven´t encountered more annoying things so far but.when I search for trading videos in youtube, in the suggestions I get these disgusting, totally offensive videos. I don´t know why. I reported them and all. Gross.

Brokers subverting users behavior for their own gain,
ads intentionally targeting the unprepared, selling dreams but causing nightmares. “Prop firms”

Yes, brother this is the thing that annoys me much and I can’t keep patience for so long to make profit and even in most of the cases patience ends up in vain.

Gaps, news, spread, weekend, mt4, scammy brokers, 10 days to get tp, 4 hours to sl.

It’s true on youtube there are thousands of promo and ad videos, but as I see - you are clever enough to sort them out immediately. I suggest you to find the channel “the secret mindset” which is absolutely ok. The guy is focusing intraday and scalp showing and explaining different approaches. There are a lot of short lessons (15min) but not sequenced, rather a network of connecting ideas. I found it useful.
