Why you still lose

I always had this intuition and I don't know if it is right: sometimes I feel like trading is like a coin toss, and that wanting to get 60% is like wanting to know at 60% if a coin will fall on a side or the other.

I always face this sitution when I open a new trade and i feel fear of loss in my mind. So my question is how can i control my fear about loss as a new trader and how can i mover forward to make money with forex trading?

i am scalper in trading and i always loss due to same reason which is overconfident , this habit made me loser so many times , one thing i have marked that confident comes from real knowledge and overconfident comes when you have just little knowledge about anything.

Strategies works for me but for a shorttime and I could not find any strategy which works for a long time. If we want consitent profit then it is necessary to find a starategy which should work for long time.

Reduce trade size, manually backtest so you know the likelihood of how many winners & losers to expect. Plus actually taking the trades will reduce the fear of loss over time. That's what helped me.

That's why. People don't want to put the work in.

One has to ask himself, what makes price move and who is moving it.

Once you have that answer, you will find the winning strategy.

Give a year or more to buy options in the last week.of expiration day . You can look for a thread on.options and momentum.

Despite their best efforts, traders may still lose money in forex for a variety of reasons. One common cause is a lack of understanding of risk management, which leads to excessive trading or the use of excessive leverage. Furthermore, emotional trading can lead to rash decisions that contradict a trader's strategy. A lack of discipline and adherence to a trading plan is another common issue. Finally, trading based on rumours or tips rather than thorough research can lead to poor trading decisions. Traders should focus on developing a solid trading strategy, adhering to risk management principles, and remaining disciplined in their approach to increase their chances of success.

I lose because of random walk. Markets are 90% of time are unpredictable. That's the key problem. If you learn how to tell apart market regimes when you can predict something from complete randomness then you gain the edge.

Traders often jump into the market without a clear trading plan, which can lead to impulsive decisions and ultimately leads to losses.
