Focus on Your Journey, Not Others' Successes

Comparing yourself to others in forex trading can be a dangerous trap that leads to negative consequences. When you compare your trading performance to other traders, especially more successful ones, it can trigger feelings of envy, frustration, and insecurity. This negative mentality can easily undermine your trading decision-making.

Instead of focusing on objective trading strategies and market analysis, you may be tempted to take unnecessary risks or make impulsive decisions to chase someone else's success. This can lead to significant financial losses and hinder your long-term trading progress.

While it's important to have a competitive spirit, as it can motivate you to keep growing and becoming better, comparing your achievements to other traders is not the right way to ignite that spirit. This is because every trader is unique and has their own set of factors that make their forex trading journey and achievements different.

For example, there is a difference in capital. A trader with a large capital may have more room to take risks and recover from losses, compared to a trader with a small capital. They have the opportunity to experience many failures and still be able to bounce back and fix their mistakes. However, for a trader with only a small capital, one failure can be the end and they have no chance to learn from their mistakes because their chance is already up in their first try.

In addition, the difference in capital also means different risk tolerance. Traders with large capital can take more risks and increase their profit potential. While traders with small capital tend to be very cautious and are forced to limit their risk tolerance to the minimum they can. This limits their profits and their portfolio grows very slowly.

Then, the innate biological ability to learn can also be a factor. There are traders who are easy and quick to learn something so they can develop faster than others. And there are also traders who are difficult to learn and take longer to understand. Their development is slower than others, which makes their achievements in trading not as bright as others.

The point is, there are many factors that make each trader's achievements different. And comparing your achievements to others is not fair to you.

Instead of wasting time and energy comparing yourself to others, focus on improving your own trading skills. Take the time to learn your strategies, deepen your knowledge of the forex market, and practice strict trading discipline. Trust the process and enjoy your trading journey. Because trading is an ongoing learning process, and there will be ups and downs along the way.
