brokenblade Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah, over-trading is a very large mistake that Forex traders make. Using high leverage is another problem. A lot of times, new traders use high leverage and over-trade. They do not even try to understand the market. They try to get lucky. As a result, they often end up losing a large amount of money and losing their accounts. It is better to start small and have a plan for managing your losses.

pepy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 that will be bad for them if they use it, because that is not good for newbie, especially when they only have little fund and hoping with high margin they can get more money but in fact loss it all, and over-trading is something that not only newbie but for mediocre traders that also want more profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Most of the mistakes they have is usually because of not having stop loss strategy or not able to monitor the market to see if they able to have profit or they are in the losses already. I guess its also a mistake to trade with just a little investment or trading capital since we can't survive by having small amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 That's true. Not having stop loss and not following your own strategies. Just like me a hard headed trader. lols. I have a solid strategy for three weeks and suddenly in just one wrong move I panic and loss funds. Just imagine two days ago I'm 50% profit on now I'm 25 dollars loss. lols. Or about 10% loss right now. I'm really feel sorry for myself but I have no choice I need to stand up again. SL or Hedging is the best way to prevent farther loses.

Tariq777 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The biggest mistake that is well known also is that the traders are very hungry and greedy, they lose much funds due to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexway Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I think the mistake that so many forex trader makes is for them to abondone demo account and go for real live trading account without a good knowledge which can aid and lead them into profit,after abandoning this account and start with real live trading account they always loss more than they can even Imagine.

Tariq777 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The biggest mistake that forex traders make is the greed, it makes us losers. Has happened to me many times so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Its funny that we all know many mistakes we can do in forex trading and yet many still don't earn in forex. I guess this is a clear sign that we just really don't believe we can earn in forex trading. Because what we only sees is our mistakes. We don't actually find if we are earning or not. I'm happy that some how I see some probability but I never think I can break the habits of losing until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venkateshfx Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would like to share with you information about the common mistakes a trader should avoid when getting started in forex trading. This is a list of common forex trading mistakes. Â 1. Using Too Much Leverage One of the biggest advantages of forex trading is the ability to use leverage or trading on margin. One of the most common mistakes that forex traders make is using too much leverage. Using too much leverage is when you have a small account balance, but make a big trade. If the market moves against your position by just a small amount, it can result in large losses. Commonly, the beginning forex trader will get emotional and nervous and close the trade for a sizable loss. Â 2. Over Trading Over Trading occurs when traders try to look for trading opportunities that are not really there. It happens to new traders very often, because they just want to trade. The result is usually a poorly executed trade that results in an eventual loss. Over trading can also result in traders making too many trades at once and using too much margin. Â 3. Picking Tops and Bottoms Many new traders attempt to try to pinpoint where a currency pair will turn around and start moving the opposite direction. This is something that is difficult even for professional traders. Â Â 1. Yes, i agree with that. If we use high leverage, then we may get a chance to lose our funds easily. High leverage leads a way to high lose, to avoid this disadvantage, we may use money management plans to avoid loses. and also to avoid stop outs. Â 2. Overtrading is problem for newbies that they may lose the profits of previous order and even may lose the initial funds too. Â Lack of knowledge and experience is also the problem for loses.

budado Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I guess the most members mistake made is either they are too passive or to aggressive. This two must be mixed. If the market is volatile we must also be aggressive. if the market is less volatile or stable we must also be passive. Because if we going to be passive when the market is volatile we can end up missing opportunities. while if we become aggressive while the market is stable then we end up opening too many position that when theirs a reversal we going to incur huge loses.

rizal83 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 indeed very true to what you are experiencing an error saying most of us because we did not really get a choice that we must take the current market movement is happening and it is the result of us still do not quite mastered the movement of the market very well and we are always wrong to take action when you start trading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Investing big amount in forex when you are first timer is a big mistake. Trading in forex as if you know how is a mistake. In forex trading we need to respect the risk that we are taking. The more we realize how risky forex trading is the more actually we can make good income in here. I don't invest in forex anymore. Instead I post in ptp forum that is sponsored by forex broker sites and use that to start trading and make some profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizal83 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 very true with investing by using a large amount of capital at the start of trading we are only going to make we can not control the emotions of trading because we do not know the right way to trade so we will just lose it and it is better for us early trade done using only a small capital because it will make us better appreciate the amount of capital that we use to trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnan007 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 One of the main mistakes commited by a newbie is to avoid the use of Stop Loss (SL) function while trading which is one of the most important thing in forex. A new trader should take their position with a tight SL to avoid losses which can not be afforded by them or in the worst case avoid a complete blow-up of account.

rony Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Over dealing is very risk for beginners investors. Because THey have too much avarice and Try to get very much. I think all of 3 option is risks and cause to losing cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizal83 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 may all traders have the same when they were joined in forex trading and when they trade for the first time definite nature of greed that is in them very difficult to remove because they only know how to trade forex trading without knowing the actual and as time went on they will realize all their fault because they already have experience in forex trading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I don't know but I feel that I'm going to make this mistake and this mistake is trading expanding right away. I have six active accounts right now and still planning to invest 500 dollars this coming January. My one year anniversary. I hope I can make good income in forex trading right now enough that I can have 500 dollars capital to start with. But anyway I just realize that if I want to earn more money I need to take more risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexway Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 @budado ,having too much risk and take too much risk is not really good what I think is that if a trader decide to take too much risk then he will stand a great chance to loss his fund within a short period of time without been inform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
