The Main Reason Why Forex Traders Fails.

Forex Trading Psychology – The Main reason Why Forex Traders Fail

 

 

Forex Trading Psychology

There are many answers in the market to this question: Why do most forex traders fail?

- Some blame it on over trading

- Some blame it on emotions

- Some blame it on revenge mentality

- Some blame it on impulse

- Some blame it on the market

- Some blame it on bad luck

- Some blame it on poor entry

- Some blame it on not taking profits

- etc etc etc

As you can see, there will be tons and tons of reasons that explains why forex traders fail.

This is all that relates to forex trading psychology.

But i strongly believe that it all leads to one answer.

MONEY

Forex Trading Psychology – The Main reason Why Forex Traders Fail

 

Yes, the answer is MONEY.

The main reason why most traders fail is because of money.

No doubt that we all trade forex for the money.

But it will be the money that kills us in forex.

Forex trading psychology – Let me explain.

To us our money that we put in our forex capital is our hard earn money. Who isn’t?

when we have that mentality that we CANNOT lose the money in our capital.

And as all man are greedy. We want to multiply our capital FAST.

That’s when we lose it all.

To succeed in forex trading, we have to FORGET that there’s money involved.

You have to learn to trade not because of the money. But because you like forex trading and you are passionate about it.

You have to learn to trade right and not trade for the money.

When you trade right and forget about the money, the money will come naturally.

But when you are too focused on the money, all your emotions will trigger.

You will get into impulse trades, probably because you made a lost on the last trade and you want your money back.

Or because you look at the trade and you are so confident about it, you GAMBLED your whole account size on that trade. and to lose it all.

Or because you want to feel good and look good, and you think that you are able to double your account in a week. So you take trades that are way beyond your money management risk %.

Or you made a series of losses, and you think that if you increase your risk percentage on this particular trade, you will make back your losses.

And the list goes on…

FOREX TRADING PSYCHOLOGY – The Main reason Why Forex Traders Fail

 

All the above reasons leads to the main answer. MONEY.

If we are not trading for the money, but if we just want to focus on mastering our trading and trading it right.

There will no longer be any emotions in place.

I highly recommend traders to forget about the money in forex.

Trade with your forex trading system and stick to it with discipline. Focus on trading right.

It is even better if you can cover up the money part on your forex broker screen. Ignore how much has your account size grown or how much have you lose.

When you are able to do that, you will then see the big picture and you will be more analytical on your forex trades.

So the next time someone ask you on – what is the main reason forex traders fail.

You know your answer: MONEY

This is Forex Trading Psychology at its fullest!

To most, spot forex is gambling heaven and most people who gamble are really bad at it. Gambling is also very addictive and people wanna gamble for the buzz no matter what.

 

Spot forex is cheap, a person can gamble away all day using different indicators, different markets.

 

So when the daily soduko is done and the crossword is all messed up, it's time to spice things up with a bit of eurdol action.

I believe this is an important aspect to all trading not just Forex. Risk management and accepting that you when you loss it won't break the bank but it's just an expense of doing business. We are all wrong at some point during the day in this business even the guys that make six figures in a day!

Traders can fail for any number of reasons.

 

One of the main things we can do is encourage all traders and not say thing in a way that will psych them out. To any new traders, don't worry about failing, instead focus your energy on mastering a methodology, being disciplined and consistent. Sim trade it to make sure the method works in all market conditions and then apply. Start small and then flourish.

 

Good Luck,

V.

 

P.S. Don't be in a hurry.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
