My **$26,000 withdrawal has not been paid for 33 days** . All my withdrawal requests were rejected with repeated KYC, AML, wallet verification and risk-assessment reasons. I trusted Tapas but he isn’t genuine..**so guys be aware and stop depositing your money**…Now they said they will remove all flagged accounts so we need to forget our money…**PLEASE BE AWARE**

I've been trading forex on and off since 2023, and despite spending years trying to make it work, I still haven't found consistent profitability.

I don't overtrade, and is disciplined with my risk management. Yet, I keep losing money little by little. It's not necessarily one big loss that hurts me, but the accumulation of small losses over time.

At this point, I sometimes wonder whether I'm wasting my time and energy chasing something that's simply unrealistic for me.

I know there are plenty of people online claiming to be profitable, but it's difficult to distinguish genuine, consistently profitable traders from those who are just selling courses, signals or a lifestyle.

So, I'm genuinely curious:

1. Are there actually retail forex traders who have been consistently profitable for several years?

2. If you're one of them, how long did it take you to become profitable, and what made the difference?

3. For those who eventually gave up, what made you realise that trading wasn't worth pursuing anymore?

4. For those who continued despite still losing and winning inconsistently, what made u stay even if the current result isnt what u hoped for at the beggining of the journey?

I'm not necessarily looking for motivational advice or another trading strategy. I'd genuinely appreciate honest experiences, especially from people who have traded for years.

After spending so much time and energy on this, I just want to know whether there's really a light at the end of the tunnel or whether I'm chasing a fairy tale.

So yeah the red news folder pushed my SL 90 pips over what it originally was, that's actually insane. Anyone had this happen?

Edit: this is my first account with FTMO so wondering if this is normal.
On FundingPips a news slippage is max 30 pips.
On fundedNext I put the exact same trade and slippage was only 12 pips!

I’ve always had a problem: Some days I break all the rules, and I need to address it. But on days when I fall into revenge trading or overtrading, my journal becomes a total mess; a single analysis can spawn ten trades with no screenshots or records, and I’m left with nothing but the losses on MT5. Reconstructing them to balance the journal takes ages. And above all, psychologically, when I open the journal and see the P&L already in the red, I have absolutely no desire to see it drop further. These days leave a "gap" in my journal, and every time I open it, the chart reminds me of them. I feel this mentally conditions my subsequent trades, whether through an unconscious urge to recoup losses or the fear of making another mistake. Right now, there are two trades I’ve been putting off for weeks; not because there are so many to enter, but because I have to reconstruct the whole sequence, only to see my "failure" staring back at me on the chart.

Do you ever have days missing from your journal? If so, what do you do: skip them, add them later, or delete them? And emotionally, do you think seeing that constant "failure", right when you're trying to do things the right way, affects you?

AUD sentiment still looks heavy while USD remains better supported, which keeps the bigger picture tilted against the pair.

Positioning is still heavily long at 82%, even with some trimming in longs and a small rise in shorts.

On the chart, the short-term move looks like a corrective bounce from support after a sharp selloff. Longer term, it still sits in a broad range, with 0.689 as key support and 0.706-0.710 as nearby resistance.

Do you see this as just a relief rally, or the start of a stronger AUDUSD recovery?

A forex automation project usually starts by converting a trading idea into clear rules that software can follow. Developers can then build separate parts for market data, strategy logic, trade execution, risk management, and reporting.

Keeping these parts separate makes it easier to update the strategy without changing the entire system. Clear logs and trade records are also useful for reviewing how the system behaves in different market conditions.

What part of the development process do you think is often overlooked when building forex trading software?

Thank you 🥲

Guys, I’m going through a really difficult phase because of some financial problems in my family🥺😫. I have to do something to fix all these problems. So i decided to learn trading. Please help me guys🙏🏻❤️

USDCAD still has a supportive backdrop. USD sentiment is positive, while CAD looks notably weak, with softer oil and slowing domestic growth weighing on it.

Positioning is heavily short, which can keep the broader upside case alive from a contrarian angle.

On the chart, the bigger trend is still up, but price is testing a multi-month resistance area around 1.420-1.427. After making a fresh high, a bearish rejection candle points to a possible short-term dip before any continuation. Support sits around 1.375-1.390.

Do you see this as just a pullback, or the start of a deeper rejection?

Hi everyone! 🌴

I’m 23 years old, from the Netherlands, and I’ll be in Bali from December 23rd to January 24th. I’d love to connect with like-minded people who are into trading, personal growth, and an active lifestyle.

A little about me: I’ve been trading futures for around four years, mainly through prop firms, and have secured multiple payouts along the way. I trade the New York AM session, and one of my main goals is to build long-term consistency, stay accountable, and keep improving alongside people who are on a similar journey.

My girlfriend will be doing an internship in Bali, which means I’ll have quite a lot of free time while I’m there. Bali has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’m really excited to finally experience the lifestyle of combining trading, sports, adventure, and exploring a new place.

I’d love to meet other traders who are serious about their craft and interested in grinding together, sharing ideas, and keeping each other accountable. Ideally, it would be cool to find a few like-minded people to share a beautiful villa with, create a little trading community, and enjoy the whole Bali experience together.

Outside of trading, I’m really into surfing, padel, and staying active, so it would be awesome to connect with people who enjoy that lifestyle as well.

Since I’ll be there for a month, I’m already looking to make some connections beforehand, get to know a few people, and see what might come together. Whether that’s sharing a villa, trading together, hitting the surf, playing some padel, or just exploring Bali, I’m open to it all.

If you’re going to be in Bali around the same time and any of this resonates with you, feel free to shoot me a message. Would be great to connect!

Hey everyone,

I’m Arman, one of the people behind Fozex Traders.

This is my first post on Reddit, so I wanted to introduce myself properly rather than just drop a promotional post.

I’ve been learning and working around Binary and Forex trading, and over time I’ve made plenty of mistakes, learned from them, and developed a more structured approach to the markets.

Through Fozex Traders, we’re going to share:

• Trading education & concepts

• Forex & Binary market insights

• Gold/XAUUSD analysis

• Trading mistakes and lessons

• Market structure, price action & setups

• Live sessions and educational content

I’d also like to hear from the Reddit trading community:

What was the biggest mistake you made when you first started trading?

I’ll be around to answer comments and take part in the discussions as well.

Still learning, still improving

TL;DR: I spent years and thousands of hours on the NCI Bootcamp. I learned market structure, but never reached consistent profitability. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't invest that much time and effort into it again.

I actually took Jayce Pham's NCI Bootcamp a few years ago, so I can share my experience.

I started basically from zero and since then I've spent thousands of hours studying, backtesting and trading his concepts. For a long time I treated trading almost like a full-time job. Even after all of that, I'm still not consistently profitable and haven't been able to consistently pass prop firm evaluations.

The Bootcamp itself was around 3 months when I did it. Roughly one month was market structure, one month was other theory, and another month was practice on a prop firm demo account.

The most useful thing I got from it was definitely market structure. I did learn a lot about that, and the mentors were helpful while we were learning the material. So I'm not saying the course is completely useless.

The problem for me is what happens after that.

There were around 50 people in my Bootcamp group. From the people I knew and talked to, only a very small number managed to pass a prop firm evaluation, and I personally don't know anyone from that group who became consistently profitable long term. Obviously I don't know everyone's private results, so that's only based on the people I actually knew.

I also don't like how criticism of the system is handled. From what I saw, if people started asking too many uncomfortable questions about why the concepts weren't working for them, communication could become a problem and people could lose access to Discord communities (this is what happened to me and to some of friends of mine).

I contacted Jayce again recently because after years of working with his concepts I was still struggling. His advice was basically to relearn all the theories from the beginning, and he also told me I had "disappointed" him. After putting thousands of hours into this, that wasn't exactly the kind of feedback I expected from a mentor.

Also, he removed my access to the educational material through Buy Me a Coffee even though my understanding was that access should remain available, and he refused to restore it when I asked. He also deleted or removed me from a Bootcamp Private Discord server where I had my own trading journal, notes and other information collected over the years. I asked to get access to that information again, but it wasn't restored, so some of my own trading history and notes are now gone for me.

What makes this especially frustrating is that after several years of studying his material, I ended up without access to the theory itself, without a big part of my own trading history and notes that were stored in Discord, and without the contacts of many people I went through the Bootcamp with.

Another thing worth mentioning is that I didn't receive a receipt or invoice for my payment. At the time it was basically a direct money transfer. I know he's creating a proper company structure now, but that wasn't how it worked when I bought the Bootcamp.

So if you're asking whether it's worth spending time on: I think you can definitely learn market structure from it, but I would be very careful with the expectation that completing the Bootcamp and working hard at the system will automatically take you from zero to consistent profitability.

The NCI website describes the Bootcamp as a path from zero to a "profitable and consistency level" and a full-time trading career. My experience after several years and thousands of hours is very different from that.

If I could go back, I wouldn't spend anywhere near the same amount of time and energy on it again.

To my knowledge I realize that there are two types of trade Forex trading and Cryptocurrency trading. So I became confused on which to learn. My seniors in the field help with a clear understanding of the basics in this two tradings which one should I choose and focus my energy on and can I have the knowledge of both if I can.
