Ok, stupid question but I just started playing around with forex... I don't get how people can lose their whole account so quick.. Aren't the odds of winning or losing a trade close to 50/50 if you set your stops far enough? say I have a $10,000 account and trade 10,000 units of eur/usd every trade so thats $1 a pip and set my stops at 50pips and every trade I do the same thing. THen I flip a coin and say heads I buy and tails I sell and do this over and over.. it should still be close to 50/50 right? Now what if instead of a coin I increase the stops to 100 pips and just follow the trend using simple fundamental techniques? This should be a good way to win right? What do you think?????

simion-yes I know, there's of course reasons why the market moves the way it does but the coin does not know or care. So if the USD suddenly decides to turn around and I sold the EUR because that 50/50 coin toss decided tails then I make money. The chance is still 50/50 because the chance of hitting either stop is close to equal. I don't see what leveraging has to do with it this. If I use leverage to increase my buying power I don't go full leverage because that's the easiest way to kill yourself, that's obvious I think you're just increasing your chance of getting margin called especially with 50/50 probability. The only factor swaying the 50/50 is the spread. THank you for your response though I am just trying to figure out and this was just my initial view of the market.. I'm far off from learning fundamental methods of trading, it will take me years to understand it and even then I don't think that knowledge will pay off if I don't have the fortitude to make confident trades.

Easy when we dont follow our own rules, when we sit idle looking at growing losses and dont let stop loss trigger and close our trades it will lead to bad consequences like blowing our account.

we can set some many rules for trading but we always do against it everytime we enter the market because we dont have a patience , so many ppl thought they can easily win in this market but the truth it not that easy

so many traders are blow their account .. including me.
myself .. many time i blown my account. but its not means that i am a bad trader. its our fault .. and after blow the account we know the reason why we blown. so in next time . we take care of that so may be we are not blown our account that type again. ;but here every hour market is change its way .. u cant imagine or analysis everytime perfectly. so when ever we wrong we face the loss. but if we use the stop loss with money management and risk management then its low possible to blow our account.

The simple answer to your question is this that the people tend to be impatient and hence loose their money at the start of their career in Forex and then they tend to leave it. The best way in my opinion is this that a person must always practice in a demo account first before starting trading in real account.
