    Any trading system if you have more than 51% win rate (ideally 55% and above) and with average win greater than average loss, you will guarantee make money in the long term, it's all about psychology and position sizing management.

    So if you experience consecutive losses like I did last week, manage your emotion is the top priority. I often find reviewing my losing trades would help me regain confidence as I learn my mistakes. What I've learned from my mistakes earlier this week was to set my stop loss distance wider and then the rest of the week I did well. Still trying to adapt to the forex volatility compared to stocks.

    It's also important to just trust your judgement and listen to nobody else, which took me about 3 years to get used to it. Simply because each individual has different trading style and approach. Just like when I was shorting USDJPY when others think it will go up, as I only trade really short period of time whereas others are trading longer term.
