I personally feel there are 2 main points to consider while trading 1) Don't be angry if you start losing- You will start placing more trades inorder to be in green again and that will just be the downfall. Better to take a day off and look where exactly you went wrong. 2) If your not sure about your entry trade dont take it- Better to be safe than sorry.
That is great advice, both parts of it! Revenge trading is always a mistake. One should never trade in this manner, they'll just lose even more. Don't take any risks when trading, especially if you don't have a lot of experience.

Most of the traders lose their money because of their low knowledge. If you want to make money from this market, you need to have proper knowledge about this market.

I completely agree you will always have losses. I have been training now for 2 years and my mentor has always advised that there will be losses. There is even a problem of over optimising a strategy where you try to eradicate losses and it actually hurts the way you trade. Accept there will be loses and incorporate it into your trading life

Agreed with your each and every point, a trader must keep his greed out to let the profits make place, also being in discipline always helps to become emotionless and lowers the fear of losing as well.

Me personally as a beginner had issue of loosing interest. Started with 1k USD on Demo, made in 3 months 27k and I do not have will anymore to trade, it took everything from me... My free time, I became obsessed with trading, checked my phone 10000x daily... Perhaps I don't have to mention that 3 months of experience was burned on 2 trades which ended up with -10k in 30 minutes...

Can't say why others lose money. Maybe at the begining can be lost some money while learning (my case). Here are some things how I dont lose money:

1. Trade only automated
2. Optimize/backtest at least 3 years history
3. Diversify - split capital, trade at least 20 different strategies/setups/symbols etc
4. Turn off EA when it lose 2x more than in backtests

so maybe if do oposite then money can be lost.

What I have seen is when backtesting some strategies, many trends or chart patterns exist for many months or sometimes several years. So when market changed the pattern, then we starting to loose. If we can identify market behavior and change our trading style according to the new market condition, then we can survive. Unfortunately when we identify new market behavior, it is too late and we have lost all the profit made. This is what I think. But I maybe wrong too.

There are so many different reasons for people to lose money on forex market.
Firstly, I can partly agree with you about the plans. Most people don't really think about what they want to achieve, however, I think that the plan should be more detailed than the one that you have mentioned. The more detailed the plan is, the easier it is to follow it. I don't think that 1 day profit objective or 1 week profit is enough for successful tradinf and for keeping the motivation high.
Secondly, many people still lose their money because of brokers. Despite the fact that forex becomes more and more regularized, there is still much scam out there and people still trust such suspicious brokerage which offer ultra profitable conditions.
Thirdly, many people come to trading being persuaded that trading is easy. They treat trading as an easy alternative to their job where they can earn easy money. However, when they face the reality, they become really upset and claim that forex is scam. One of the greatest dangers for the newcomers is reluctance to learn.

My experience told me that the most people lose money because of their lack of disciple and physiology. I also want to add that depends so much on your strategy, I personally think that the 95% lose money because they use very common strategies like patterns, in my the first year with these “common” strategy I lose so much money, so I switched to more complicated and sophisticated strategy and I started I gain some profit; obviously after a long period of backtest, I trade a pairs only when I complete at minimum 20 years of manual backtest. Don’t give up a lot can change.
My entire life in one sentence: it didn't go as planned, and that's ok.

Accept the fact that the first deposit with 99% probability you will lose. You can consider it as a payment for training, for experience.
Because demo accounts are good, of course. But in any case they cannot provide a 100% authentic picture. After all, on a demo account all operations simply take place on the broker's server, which makes sense. There are no slippages, no spikes in the spread. As soon as you switch to a real account, the situation changes a little. Hence, by the way, some of the feedback that it is unrealistic to make money in this area. It's just that the real account includes additional factors that will not be present in the demo. That's why it is not recommended to invest huge money into a real account right away. Transfer the amount you don't regret to part with. Just trade with a minimum lot to learn everything.

I quite agree with you, but I think we need to trade with the right lot according to our risk and stop loss.

If you have some money, you can generate outstanding returns on limited capital in the short term. With only a small amount of capital and too-high leverage, you may find yourself getting emotionally involved in the ups and downs of the market and jumping in and out at the worst times.

I don't know a single person who would start trading and create stable income from this in the shortest possible time. This is often the path of depression and nervous transactions. Not everyone can pass it.
