The biggest “MYTH vs REALITY” in trading

Education
OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Dear traders, happy Friday and welcome on our Educational Post for this week.

Today we will be talking about the most popular myths in the trading world and compare it to the reality. “99.99% win rate”, “50 trades winning streak”, “100% monthly return”. Do these phrases sound familiar? All of us have come across people and companies promising that they accomplish the above stated proclamations GUARANTEED. These individuals tend to deceive the beginners and sell them a fake dream. However, trading does not work like that.

If we take a look at the chart, we can see the 4H timeframe graphic of GOLD. We decided to use this graph to illustrate the idea. On the left hand side of the chart, we can see an example of the strategy that the above stated type of individuals use to deceive a huge mass of people. Fake and unrealistic risk-to-reward ratios, impractical percentage returns and other tricks appeal the newcomers and lead them to the mousetrap set by the so-called “gurus”.

On the other hand, on the right side of the screen, we can see the reality of trading.

Not every trade will be a winning one. The most important thing is to follow the principles of risk management, have patience and discipline!

We hope you enjoyed this educational post! If you have any proposals on what should our next educational post be about, please feel free to write down the topics of your interest in the comment section below.

Investroy team is wishing you all a great upcoming weekend!
