Trading is often perceived as a high-adrenaline pursuit, but in reality, the key to long-term success lies in embracing the mundane. The ability to remain disciplined, follow a structured plan, and execute trades consistently without being swayed by emotions is what separates a profitable trader from the rest. This week, my trading account closed with a 1.31% gain, reinforcing the importance of patience and routine.
For the past few months, I have been exclusively trading EUR/USD, and the results speak for themselves – a 100% success rate over this period. The strategy remains unchanged because the market conditions continue to align with my analysis. The fundamentals underpinning the Euro and the US Dollar have remained relatively stable. The Eurozone economy continues to show signs of deterioration, while the US remains strong, bolstered by hawkish labour market data. Given these dynamics, I anticipate this trend to persist for at least the next couple of months, barring any major unforeseen events.
Reflecting on last week, if there’s one lesson to take away, it’s that patience is often rewarded in the markets. I exited my position sooner than I should have; a decision driven by my preference for risk management over greed. In hindsight, I could have held on for a bit longer and capitalized on additional profits. However, in this high-volatility environment, the adage “better safe than sorry” still holds true.
