For me, my biggest ‘Aha!’ moment was realizing that less is more. I used to chase every flashy signal, but once I learned to focus on one or two reliable strategies and actually stick to them, my win rate shot up.
I’m curious…what was YOUR lightbulb moment in Forex? Was it discovering the power of risk management, finally understanding support and resistance, or maybe something completely unexpected?
Let’s share and learn from each other.

My big “Aha!” moment was when I understood that the trend is my friend and I’m not predicting the price, I just follow it.
What timeframe do you trade?
I watch 1M, 1W, and 1D to make the analysis then the 4H and 1H to see where we are more in detail. After I have my daily bias, I’ll watch London and NY open on 15 min and enter on 3 min chart if the conditions of my strategy are met.
There are lots in the journey, but my biggest Aha moment is being able to execute every A+ setup of my edge.
Actually, I trade 1m based on 15m trend. Previously, I paralyzed after seeing the setup formation and thinking about losses (and it happens very quickly). After selecting every checklist, I still feared to lose and I missed many setups that hit TP instead of SL.
Then I decided to execute every setup (with full criteria) and viola, I passed a funded account within 2 days (after 5 months of struggle on that particular account).
After that, I never lose any Propfirm account. I am really grateful and thankful to God.
It happened way at the start… But at first, for some reason, I thought risking 1% meant buying 1% worth of the thing… Then I realized 1% risk was talking about your stoploss.
I am really grateful and thankful to God.
