When it comes to trading, consistent profits might be a myth. For traders, the goal is simple: make more money than you lose. As the saying goes, "It's easier to conquer than to rule." If profits can't be sustained, traders face a daunting scenario: "A thousand days of chopping wood can be undone in a single day." This is a reality recently faced by a community trader from Indonesia, @MxFx888.

Starting on February 29, 2024, @MxFx888 embraced a hedging strategy. Engaging in opposing trades on currency pairs GBP/USD, EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, and USD/CAD to capitalize on price differences, they achieved a profit of $283.65 over six weeks, with a return of 14.18%. The monthly analysis report was impressive.

However, a deeper dive reveals that the trader was often navigating through floating losses. There were moments of remarkable resilience, enduring a 17% drawdown and persisting. As the saying goes, "Endurance wins." Unfortunately, on April 16, 2024, the market took a turn. Faced with significant floating losses on USD/CAD, @MxFx888 attempted to recover using a Martingale strategy, only to be countered by the market, resulting in a complete wipeout of profits and a maximum drawdown of 25.57%.

Although @MxFx888 has since bounced back, the steep stop-loss event serves as a stark reminder: over the long haul, only those traders with excellent risk management can survive.
