What you trade has a huge impact on your trading success.
I have been trading forex since 2021 and have been doing well, about a year ago I was introduced to futures and while I love the excitement and liquidity In futures I'm more successful in forex here's my personal reasons that I've experienced.
With forex the pairs I typically trade are nice and smooth and balanced (for the most part)with better predictions due to me knowing and learning each pair over the years, I can basically predict most moves after learning price action and market structure like the back of my hand. It feels comfortable to trade and I can plan my trades with risk and tp and it just feels comfortable but the money isn't as fast as in futures (and I'm OK with that) a slow grind for me is better after maturing in my journey.
With futures trading "for me" its adrenaline central! Opening bell 🔔 anxiety and the full on drive to try and make as much money In that day in my head its like a switch 🙃 flips.
I'm trading my own capital with my forex account and trading prop firms with futures but realized I'm good with just forex for now and it keeps me disciplined and focused. Futures seems to be a distraction for me and God forbid if I try to trade them simultaneously.... it would be a disaster 😕
The moral of the story is trade what fits you, your personality and lifestyle. I love intraday and swing trading and it keeps the anxiety away and keeps me focused ✨️ so I can live on to trade another day.
