And why they afraid? Because of, low trading skill! Knowledge is the key; without proper trading knowledge; success is impossible!

Sadly some people remain anxious and insecure even when they do know how to trade. The reasons for such insecurity are usually far more personal than lack of knowledge, I think.

its a very good point you are taking about " fear of losing ".. when traders start trading they always feel they are going to bring a loss because moistly traders lose from here and much more emotional connection. if anyone can trade with zero negativity , i sure he or she will bring minimum profit. thats all.

Loss stems from greed and ignorance. Loss results are normal

The biggest reason traders fail outside of the obvious ones is poor mindset - Didn't see that option on your poll but trading is a game of probabilities. We expect to lose some trades - it's part of the game. Money management will keep losses under control if you can keep your head in the game.

Read Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas - it's an invaluable trading resource. I get new insights from it whenever i pick it up.

I personally feel its inexperience that traders loose, they feel after a few trading activities in demo and gaining some profit they feel its time to enter into live which causes loss.

besides making profit there is only losses and fear. so we the traders have to make sure how to faces losses and control emotions. actually emotions is the foremost enemy in our life only not Forex trading all about life attitudes.

True. You may have the best strategy in the world but if you are emotionally compromised you are still unlikely to make a profit.

95% of the traders lose because they try to make trading a very complicated process.

Find a strategy and a comfortable time frame, stick to it for 1 year. That's the holy grail.

I also have 4 rules among many others:

1. Trade what you see, not what you think.
2. Cut your losses short, let your profits run.
3. Always follow your strategy.
4. Always use a stop loss.

finding any strategy is not a complicated issue but the main challenge is to bring profit with consistently from there.

Actually the main issue is whether or not you can stick to your strategy long enough. Often times, we switch to another promising strategy that we never allow our original strategy to work.

Thats true. Consistency is actually a hard thing to achieve, but certainly the best foot forward for success in trading and with practice and learning we can get close to it.
