The Number Your Broker Doesn't Want You Checking في Aug 05 at 04:12

Most traders spend their time optimizing entries and exits, but overlook a factor that quietly erodes performance over time: execution quality.Two elements are worth paying close attention to:1. Slippage during volatile periods. Even a well-timed strategy can underperform if orders consistently fill several pips away from the requested price during high-impact news or fast markets. This isn't always visible in backtests, but it shows up clearly in live account statements over a few months.2. Requote frequency and order rejection. Frequent requotes, particularly on scalping or news-based st...

Broker Regulation: 5 Warning Signs في Aug 04 at 04:51

Regulation is the single most important factor in broker selection, yet it's also the most commonly misrepresented one. A few patterns worth watching for:Offshore-only licensing without disclosure. Some brokers advertise "regulated" prominently but bury the fact that the license is from a low-oversight jurisdiction (e.g., St. Vincent, Comoros, Marshall Islands) rather than a tier-1 regulator like the FCA, ASIC, or CySEC.License number that doesn't match the entity. A broker may hold a legitimate license under one legal entity, but the entity actually accepting your deposits i...

Broker Review Platforms — Why "Verified" Doesn't Always Mean Verified. في Aug 03 at 05:02

Over the past few years, several forex and crypto broker review platforms — including WikiFX — have faced serious allegations from brokers, traders, and industry journalists. Reports from outlets such as DL News and multiple broker complaints on Trustpilot allege that some review platforms have charged brokers substantial fees in exchange for improved ratings, and that brokers who declined to pay allegedly received sudden rating drops or "scam" labels.To be clear: these are allegations, not proven facts, and the platforms in question have denied wrongdoing. But the patter...

The "Full-Time Trader" Story Survives Because the Failures Go Quiet في المتداولون الجدد Aug 03 at 04:44

Every trading community has a handful of visible full-time traders. What it doesn't have is visibility into how many people tried the same path and quietly went back to a 9-to-5, account drained, saying nothing about it.This isn't survivorship bias by accident — it's survivorship bias by design. The people who fail have every incentive to disappear silently, while the people who succeed have every incentive to be loud about it. The result is a distorted picture where "quit your job for trading" looks far more achievable than it statistically is.None of this means it...

Where Does Trading End and Gambling Begin? في عام Jul 31 at 04:54

Nobody in this industry likes this question, but it deserves an honest answer.Risking capital on an analyzed setup with a defined stop and a clear edge is trading. Refreshing the chart every few minutes, doubling size after a loss to "get it back," or entering because "it feels like it's about to move" — that isn't trading anymore, even if it happens on the same platform, with the same terminology.The uncomfortable part is that most retail traders cross this line without realizing it, especially during a losing streak. The behavior changes, but the person stil...

"Trading Mentors" Selling Courses Have Never Actually Been Profitable في عام Jul 28 at 13:03

Let's say the thing everyone thinks but nobody posts.If someone is truly consistently profitable, trading is already the most scalable income there is. Why would they spend hours every day making content, selling $199 courses, and chasing students — instead of just trading?The honest answer: because the course is the actual business. Trading is just the story that sells it.Not all of them. But most.If you've bought a course, a signal group, or "mentorship" — be honest. Did it actually make you profitable, or did it just make someone else profitable off you?Say it ...

The Silent Risk Most Traders Never Talk About: Correlation في عام Jul 27 at 11:39

Everyone talks about position sizing. Everyone talks about stop losses. Almost nobody talks about correlation — and it might be quietly wrecking more accounts than either.Here's the problem.You risk 1% on EURUSD. You risk another 1% on GBPUSD. Then another 1% on AUDUSD. On paper, that looks like smart diversification — three separate 1% risks, well within your risk tolerance.In reality, you didn't take three independent trades. You took one leveraged bet on USD weakness, split across three tickets. When USD moves against you, all three hit at once. Your "3% risk" ...

Do Brokers Really Hunt Our Stop Losses, or Are We Just Bad at Risk Management? في عام Jul 27 at 10:08

That's a fair distinction — more precise than most people make, honestly.But here's what it made me think: if it's market makers and liquidity providers doing the hunting, not the retail broker itself, then switching brokers doesn't really protect anyone — we're still exposed to the same liquidity layer regardless of ECN, STP, or whatever label is used.I've been digging into this a lot lately, comparing how different setups actually behave in real conditions vs what's marketed. Happy to share what I've found if you're interested — feel free...

95% of You Will Fail — And It Has Nothing to Do With Your Strategy في المتداولون الجدد Jul 24 at 05:50

Trust me — automation doesn't kill the psychology, it just relocates it. The EA doesn't panic, but you still panic-disable the EA during a normal drawdown, or over-optimize it after a losing streak. Same ego, different interface. Code removes emotion from execution, not from the trader deciding whether to trust the system through the pain it was built to survive. You didn't escape the mirror, you just automated a very disciplined version of looking into it. 🔥

Prop Firm Challenges Aren't Making Traders — They're Making Refund Machines في Jul 24 at 04:02

Let's talk about the elephant in the room.Thousands of traders pay for prop firm challenges every month. Most fail in the first week. Buy again. Fail again.And somehow, this is being marketed as "the future of trading."Here's the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask:Are prop firms actually building profitable traders — or are they just running a subscription business disguised as an opportunity, where the real product is the challenge fee, not the funded account?I've seen genuinely skilled traders fail challenges because of artificial time limits and daily dra...

Do Brokers Really Hunt Our Stop Losses, or Are We Just Bad at Risk Management? في عام Jul 22 at 04:54

I've noticed something for a while now — almost every time my SL gets hit, price reverses right back into my originally analyzed direction shortly after. At first I thought it was just coincidence, but it's happened enough times that I'm starting to doubt that.So here's the real question — do brokers or market makers actually "see" retail stop losses and intentionally push price toward those levels before reversing? Or is this just a conspiracy theory, and the real issue is that we place our SLs in obvious spots — right on liquidity zones or textbook...

Most New Traders Analyze Wrong. Here's the Fix في المتداولون الجدد Jul 17 at 04:16

Every new trader opens a chart hoping to spot "the pattern" that finally makes them money.That's not analysis. That's guessing with extra steps.Here's how to actually do it:1. Structure FirstBefore hunting for entries, understand the story: higher highs & higher lows (uptrend)? Lower highs & lower lows (downtrend)? Or range? No structure, no clarity — every signal after that is just noise.2. Mark Levels, Not OpinionsIdentify key support/resistance on Daily/4H before touching lower timeframes. That's where institutional orders sit. Let price actio...

Let's have an uncomfortable conversation.You've spent months hopping between strategies. FVG today, Pyramid trading tomorrow, someone's "secret indicator" next week. You've bought courses. You've joined ten different Telegram groups. You've watched hundreds of hours of YouTube gurus flexing Lambos and screenshots.And you're still losing.Here's the truth nobody wants to say out loud:Your strategy was never the problem. You are.Not because you're not smart enough. Not because you don't work hard enough. But because trading exposes something most ...
