Forex trading business must change its mindset as an investment, by having an investment mindset there will be a tendency within us to avoid trading in high risk ways, and always trade in a safe way.

Investments always consider risk management, so that even if predictions are wrong, losses are still measurable. 
What is dangerous is if the speculation predictions do not take into account and are not accompanied by risk management.

instill an investment mindset then we will have a tendency to implement trading in a safe way, using a secure MM, etc.
because when this investment mindset is lost or reduced, surely our trading will begin to be aggressive.

in my opinion trading is measurable freedom of speculation while being a matter of risk and reward is comparable to just take it or leave it in the end the decision in our hands is a business that is free to present ourselves. And the biggest enemy in making profit is ourselves.

Usually if the conditions are losing the trader desires to speculate even greater, averaging or marti often done by traders which results in an average MC.

in forex trading it is difficult to distinguish between trading and speculation because there is no clear boundary between true analysis and speculation or a combination of the two.

investment is only done in businesses that are not high risk. for example investment in the form of buying land, houses, shop houses, or shares. if forex trading is clearly very risky so it is not recommended for those who are still lay.
Forex trading business is more to speculation that is done by strategy.

I think it's better to slow down but definitely with investment.
If the speculation is a big risk, but if the profit is also large, it is difficult to implement such a trading style, trading accounts are difficult to survive.

I prefer investment compared to speculation because speculation requires large capital and of course the risk is also greater, indeed in terms of profit speculation is greater even hundreds of percent in a short time.

I suggest not to speculate in the forex market because it is very risky, speculation is the same we do not use the right risk management but rather towards violating the rule of trading and MM.

I prefer investment compared to speculation because speculation is more into gambling even though there are also successful traders with speculation styles.

in forex trading it is quite difficult to distinguish between analysis, speculation and investment because the three are interrelated, but if we do the right way of trading I think it will be better.

speculation requires a large capital so not all traders can do it, if you only have a small capital and do the speculation it is very risky MC.

Speculation is more dangerous than investment. If you want to do speculstion it easy trade by news and you can catch a huge profit but also you have take a high risk. Trade like investment you need a money management.

investment is more focused on consistency and small profitability while speculation the purpose of obtaining the largest profit possible in a short time, it seems that there are two opposites.
