Why is retail forex trading tough? Why can't the little guys trade like banks, why can't retail forex traders trade like the big boys?Almost 99 % of retail forex traders lose.
Retail traders are trying to make money everyday, the real currency traders trade 4 to 5 times a year, they only trade 4 to 5 trades a year. The pros make money when prices move due to anticipated changes in interest rates expectations. The little guy is trying to make hay everyday , whereas big boys make hay when the sun is shining.
Of course it is difficult and impossible to make money/hay everyday.Every day the bank traders destroy all opportunities, banks fulfill order books for customer's daily foreign exchange requirements. If Euro goes up the bank traders sell , if dollar goes up the bank traders sell and they do this to all currencies.The little guy buys , when he sees an opportunity based on charts and price action , but the bank traders are selling , so the little guy loses.
Even after 8 years , trader is finding it difficult.
