[afzal852]

I agree with this that main reason for loss is lack of knowledge of good money management but how can we overcome on this problem? Only through getting good of knowledge of forex,and through good experience, we can overcome this problem

according to me the main reason for the loss of the traders are due to lack of basic knowledge about forex trading.the traders should try to concentrate on this.it is the basic reason why the traders get fail in their trading.the only solution for getting basic knowledge is by utilizing the demo account in proper way

[afzal852]

In my view,there are three reasons of loss in the markets,first is inexperience, 2nd is less knowledge of forex and 3rd is greediness which is most harmful in trading, If we get good knowledge of forex and get experience through demo account and get control on our greed which automatically produced during trading then we can go towards success

I think low capital is not the reason for losing money in forex. It is actually mainly happened because of the unplanned management of risk and capital and greed also. People always want to get a decent profit. And that is the problem. You have to take patience in forex market because you have invested your own money here. You can also use target profit system if you want to reduce your loss. Because sometimes it seems that investors wont look all the time in forex market. Suppose price once goes up and you are not in the market. At that moment if you set target profit and if the price reaches that profit, then your transaction will automatically be closed. So be careful before trading in forex.

mere khaya lse hamesha trend ki direction me hi paise lagane chahaiye..trend ke opposite trade karne se trader ke nuksan ke chances zada ho jate hai..is wajah se har trader ko sirf trend ki direction me hi paise lagaen chahaiye..ye sabse safe tarika hai forex me trading karne ka aur me is tarike ko last 3 saal se follow karta aa raha hon aur mujeh isse kafi fayda bhi hua hai

Sahi kaha aapne, trend ke rukh ki taraf trade karna utna hi asan hai jitna nadi me bahav ki taraf tairaki karna, agar ham trend ko samajhte hai aur ternd ka fayda uthana jan gaye hai to bahut jyada technical knowledge ke bina bhi susccessful trader ban sakte hai.

I think lack of knowledge and decision under pressure or in fast are the main resons for loss.but there are also other thing which causes loss that are certainly down market etc.

The reason that many forex traders have losses in most of their trades is as a result of greed. It is greed that makes them to take very high risks and then make too much mistakes and big losses.

[mohit]

the main reason for the loss is the lack of money management and lack of risk management done by many of the traders due to which they failed to get the success

the main reason for loss are:lack of experience
lack of technical and fundamental knowledge about forex

poor money management. Sure,everyone can trade. But who is good enough to know how to balance what you have in your account and what goes to the market. Poor money management is everything. You make a mistake and you are gone. Let your trades be clear,dont risk too much. Its also how people work with a good clearg concience. Fear and greed is another key factor.
