i guess FX used least of $ --- becos of the lebverage , 1:500 ......
correct. but also fastest to lose money if you over leverageeasier to make profit == options .
why ?
malaysia got options ?
1)Because options have so many strategies that can constantly morph your position. You want to change from directional to premium collection? No problem. Easily done by adjusting your legs. Want to trade breakouts but scared fakeout happen? No problem, there are strategies for that. Market ranging? No problem. Just write options and collect premium.
2)Although in my opinion it is the most easy to make money, it is also the hardest to learn and probably highest barrier to entry. Nothing is free.
3)Malaysia got. But no point because it's illiquid. You are basically trading with the market maker.i like FX, becos, even when u;re wrong, u can add fund to hold the line till the price change to your favor .
but others, not so easy , right ?
You are wrong. The only market you can do that is non zero sum markets. Namely: bonds, options, stocks.
Because if you're wrong, you can go cold storage and hold for a long time, in theory you will still collect some kind of premium.
Forex and futures are zero sum. If you're wrong, you have to cut loss. If you're the type that can't cut loss, don't trade forex and futures.
Carry trades don't happen all the time. You cannot force the market to agree with you. Purposely going against the market to collect swaps is a strategy to ruin your account. Well said

You need to have strict discipline and emotional control. especially when you
over-leverageBecause the up and downs of your money has taken over your trading system, and most of the time you will be
trading based on "gut feelings" or "i think the market.." that's suicide in forex, when you're wrong, just cut loss.
For beginning stage, the main goal of trading should be preserving capital.
Don't focus on money, focus on practicing efficiency in executing your trading system.
Money and growth are just a result of you executing your system efficiently. I know is fked up because
we are in this game to make money, but we can't focus on money!Does a losing trade upset you? Do losing streaks anger you? Sure, but recognize you are not in control of the market.
Overcome your emotions, accept them and focus on what you can control - Your Trading System.
Once you developed this routine and habit, Results and Profit are just a matter of time and patience. Cheers
