forex illusions - the hidden traps nobody warns you about

[fadedlights]

this section is for the ugly math behind the industry. why deposit bonuses are a trap, how prop firms make money off you failing, why "review" sites lie, signal sellers, copy trading, all of it.

no proof needed here like in the scam section, this is more discussion + opinions + experience. but back up big claims with numbers or logic, dont just vibe.

start wherever. theres a lot to unpack and most of it youll never hear from a youtube "mentor"

good. the biggest illusion imo is that the broker wants you to win. for most retail accounts they literally profit when you lose. once you internalise that a lot of the weird stuff makes sense

[justmatt]

the real illusion is that anyone in this section is profitable enough to be giving advice
