Many people think trading is the simplest way of making money in forex market. Far from it, I believe it is the easiest way of losing money.
Below are the few of undisciplined trading which lead to losses.
1. Lack of discipline is a major shortcoming
Lack of discipline includes several lesser items; i.e., impatience, need for action, etc. Also, many traders are unable to take a loss and do it quickly.
2. Psychology
Psychology plays a huge part in trading and most traders are not mentally prepared to trade. When money is on the line, fear, greed, and other emotions make trading very hard. Make sure you understand the emotional aspects of trading and be prepared to deal with them before you put your money on the line.
3. Many traders overtrade their account
Future traders tend to have no discipline, no plan, and no patience. They overtrade and can't wait for the right opportunity. Instead, they seem compelled to trade every rumor.
4. Future traders tend to do inadequate research
Traders don't clearly identify and then adhere to risk parameters. Many speculators use "conventional wisdom" which is either "local," or "old news" to the market. They take small profits, not riding gains as they should, and tend to stay with losing positions. Most traders do not spend enough time and effort analyzing the market, and/or analyzing their own emotional make-up.
