Hello everyone,
I'm back on our mission to reach 10,000 HP on this account. Over the past few months of being inactive, I experienced one of the most difficult periods in my life. I dedicated myself to learning as much as I could about forex trading. At first, I was excited—I wasn't just doubling or tripling my investments; I was flipping them up to 100x daily.
But then, reality hit.
I got greedy. I started putting all my money and savings into forex. In the beginning, things were going well. But as I increased my lot size without proper risk management, the market suddenly turned against me. Within moments, all my positions were wiped out. I lost everything—my trading capital, my savings, and my confidence. I was devastated and blamed myself entirely for what happened.
Recovery After Hitting Rock Bottom
For a while, I couldn’t even look at a chart—I felt completely broken. But one night, I started thinking seriously about my future, especially for the sake of my wife and myself. I had no savings left, and the only thing I had was forex trading. Deep down, I knew the problem wasn't the market—it was my attitude, lack of backtesting, and absence of discipline.
Then came a turning point.
My friend Valentino, who went through a similar downfall a few months earlier, messaged me. He showed me his progress after taking time to reflect and rebuild his strategy. He was making small, consistent profits—around $150 per trade—and ended the week with over $6,000 in gains. He only trades EUR/USD (EU) and GBP/USD (GU), and his results were consistent because he followed a refined system with strict discipline.
After doing my own research, I discovered that many profitable and funded traders also prefer these same currency pairs. That’s when I decided to do a complete 360-degree shift in my trading style.
From BBMA Gold to Smart Money Concepts
Previously, I mostly traded Gold using the BBMA (Bollinger Band + Moving Average) technique. I still believe BBMA is powerful—especially on Gold—but after shifting to EU and GU, I decided to explore Smart Money Concepts (SMC), which shares similarities with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies.
What I’ve learned so far is that the market moves based on liquidity. Understanding where liquidity lies—such as stop hunts, inducements, and order blocks—has opened my eyes to a whole new way of reading the market. It’s no longer just about indicators; it’s about understanding the psychology behind price movement.
This is only the beginning of my comeback journey, and I’m determined to grow—not only in trading, but as a person. Mistakes will always happen, but learning from them is what separates a failed trader from a successful one.
