from all attitude discipline is more important , only this discipline can maintain your emotions which is real reason behind losses, its a common human nature for that reason there is no way to avoid it. but only discipline can reduced the percentage of emotions when trading in practical.

Me too, sadly. Either because I was too greedy or because I was too scared.

This is why we need to work on our mental game. Without this we can't win.

True. I have improved some since then, but I feel I still have a long way to go.

Sometimes I wonder why we still lose when so many information is readily available and so many strategies and skills abound everyday. Why do we still fail?
There may be many reasons. From what you`ve mentioned can be a distraction between this many informations, strategies and etc. It`s a long story after all.

Agree with you. Practice makes perfect so even if we are losing in trading, we just gotta keep our head up and keep practicing.

actually both, sometimes we are too greedy that even if are making decent profits we won't close the position obviously the greed of making more, and sometimes we are too scared of losses that we exit at wrong time. This used to be happen a lot with me initially.

I completely agree, sometimes it has been both and usually that leads to the worst results.

yes it is , but practice should be in cool mind with great focus , otherwise there is no better chance to bring good result , most of the traders take practice just a time passing issue and got nothing ultimately.

True. One should either practice on demo exactly as they would be trading on a live account or not do it at all.

This type of dedication is very important; if anyone using the demo casually that would be really annoying!

Obviously demo accounts are also great for testing purposes when you have a wild and weird idea, or just when you want to learn the functions of the software you're using, but one should always take them seriously indeed.

FEAR!!!
Fear to go the own way ...
Fear to reduce input in your trading ...
Fear to make thoughts about a real risk management ...
Fear to have loosers ...

Why these fear? Something in the background is telling you, that trading is not profitable?
All these result in a bad trading. It is not much needed to make money with trading and this is not a secret entry model!
Perfection is the enemy of good enough!

Fear is ignoring those who question your BS.
Fear is having more on your ignore list than on your subscriber list.
The definition of a coward is one who is fearful of confronting those who disagree with them.
My ignore list is empty. I fear no one!

Forex is very changing market and what works today may not work tomorrow. I think traders need is more practice to adjust their strategy and figure out what is wrong. Do not over-trade. Avoid trading with overconfidence. Those are the main cause for failure for most of the traders.

I think most of the traders lose their money because of their low knowledge and choosing the wrong broker for them.
