I used to think you could just grab a strategy from the forex factory forums, follow it, and start making money. But now, after trying a ton of them over the last year, I’d say it’s not that simple. Some people really do post useful stuff, like how to trade certain economic news or price patterns. I’ve learned a lot, honestly. But just copying someone else’s trades without understanding why probably won’t work in the long run.

What’s cool is the forums help you see different ways of thinking and give you ideas to test, but you gotta put in your own effort. I tried a system from there and lost money at first because I only half-understood how it worked. Once I started tweaking it for my style and figuring out what made sense to me, I saw better results. So yeah, you can get a good start from forex factory forums, but making consistent money still takes your own brainpower and practice. Anyone who promises easy money is probably just selling dreams.
