FOREX WITH CUTHBERTH

  Success is often misunderstood. We’re raised to believe that if we work hard, we’ll eventually achieve our dreams — as if success is a straight line from point A to point B. That’s the expectation. We imagine a smooth, upward journey — no struggles, no confusion, no failures. But then, reality hits. The image above perfectly captures this gap. The top part, labeled “Expectation,” shows a straight arrow from Hard Work ➡ Success. It’s clean. Predictable. Encouraging. But also misleading. Now look at the second part — Reality. It paints a far more accurate picture. One filled with problems, setbacks, failure, challenges, and obstacles. That’s how success truly unfolds, especially in trading, business, and life itself. Let’s dive deeper. Why the Straight Line is Dangerous That top arrow — as encouraging as it seems — creates false hope. When we believe success is simple and linear, we’re mentally unprepared for the struggles. So when we face our first setback, we panic. When we ...

Why Price Action? (Keep It Simple) 🧠✨ Price action strips your chart to the essentials: candles, levels, and structure. No lagging indicators, no clutter—only what the market is doing right now. That’s why simple price action trading strategies are loved by pros: they’re transparent, repeatable, and adaptable across Forex pairs, indices, metals, and crypto. Core idea: market moves from consolidation to expansion. Your job is to identify where price is trapped (the range) and when it escapes (the breakout)—then time a perfect entry with tight risk. ✅ The Building Blocks (Know These First) 🧱 1.

Candlestick Clues: bullish/bearish engulfing, pin bar (long wick), inside bar (consolidation), strong momentum candles. 4. Liquidity & Stop Zones: areas above...

When to Step Aside: The Art of Knowing "When Not to Trade Forex" If you’re a trader, you’ve probably heard the phrase “less is more.” In the world of forex, that’s not just a cliché—it’s a survival strategy. The truth is, knowing when not to trade is just as powerful as knowing when to enter a trade. This image—"When To Avoid Forex Trading: A Comprehensive Guide"—is a reminder that success in the markets isn't about constant action. It’s about smart action.

Avoid Trading During Major Economic News Releases Trading during big news events (like NFP, interest rate decisions, or inflation data) is like trying to drive through a storm—you can’t see clearly, and you might crash hard.

Pro Tip: Alwa...

Choppy Markets Need Tighter Rules: Here's Why:  Anyone who has spent some time in the financial markets—especially in forex—knows that not all market conditions are equal. Sometimes, the market moves in clean, predictable trends where trades feel smooth and manageable. Other times, it’s the complete opposite—price action becomes erratic, unpredictable, and volatile.
