In order to my personal experience, lack of trading knowledge is mainly responsible! Maximum new Forex traders start their live trading to early before completing their task in the demo! Knowledgeable traders are always profitable. In addition, knowledge is the main weapon of Forex success.

Do whatever possible
to get into the best trade possible

Or not take any trade at all,
if uncertain.

And you will lower the chance
of getting bad/losing trades.

According to me , learning can be valueless if there is no regular practice , so, besides learning of course it is more appropriate to make sure regular practice session.

Practice is important, but the problem is we always practice at random in particularly in demo. So, we have to be serious when practicing.

Yes, I agree with all of your points but I see, almost all of new traders try to make huge money here from my early stage without learning! That’s a wrong way, Forex is one of the most challenging profession so, shortcut way is not available here! Which traders spend enough time on demo for learning, of course they can earn money in their live account.

Unfortunately for many newbies, they are influenced by a combination of greed, ignorance and unethical advertising by brokers who take advantage of said ignorance and greed.

Agree with you! That’s why, more than 95% new traders are losing money, they open their live account too early.

They open them too early, invest too much and don't know enough to trade. It's an awful combination.

One of the most common reasons for losing is the starting with low capital. When you start with low capital your margin level will not be enough newer. Then if your positions starts losing, your margin level will not be enough and will activate the "Stop out", which will generate a big loses. If the starting capital is a bigger, your losing position will stay more time active, so it will have a chance to wait the changing of the way.

There is no way to ignore the importance of large capital , but in spite of having sufficient trading balance there is no certain chance to get maximal profit until ensuring a powerful strategy with real money management.

Beginners levee generally attacked by greed when trading above all with a large account , so i always prefer micro account for that. no chance to reduce greed completely but of course it can be controlled.

A large amount always supportive to survive in Forex trading in a proper way , but its true there is a chance to become emotional by large amount , but if we can maintain real trading discipline when trading , managing emotions will not a big problem at all.

Trading could be the most difficult task in the world.
Not only are you trading against the rest of the world. You also have to battle against your ownself emotions and discipline. It's no wonder most of the traders lose.

The cost of trading Forex is very high. So that is one reason people lose on the long-run. Cost is an inefficiency.
