Can we depend on luck in Forex trading?

[Ricky Rk]

Actually, that's a good question. Personally, I think that a small share of success in trading depends on luck. But I doubt that it can be developed in any way. It's like in the Futurama episode, where Bender wanted to win a poker tournament, so he collected Lepricon, the lucky leg of another robot and some other stuff. But life isn't an episode of Futurama, so I doubt it'll work. You either have a personality trait like luck or you don't. Of course, everyone can get lucky sometimes or not. But somehow a person wouldn't be able to influence it. But you actually can develop your professionalism in trading.

You're right—luck may play a small role, but success in trading is mainly about skill and strategy. While luck can occasionally impact short-term outcomes, developing professionalism through consistent learning, risk management, and emotional control is key. Trading success is more about preparation and discipline than relying on luck.

People play for luck in casinos. And do you think many of them earn good money there so that they can transfer this style to their forex trading and hope to earn money?))
