There is not a single forex trader who did not make mistakes during their trading career especially in the beginning of trading. Most of the beginners will fail to learn from their mistakes except a small percentage of traders who will make the mistakes and learn from them. This is what will separate successful traders from failures.

Mistakes and losses are part of Forex. But we can avoid mistakes and we can learned from Forex if you have learned about Forex. Learning is very necessary to keep our trading on track.

It always pays up to learn from one's mistakes..find out what you did wrong and make sure you do not "lather, rinse, repeat" the same mistake again..

I think we cannot always avoid losses from Forex but yes we can learn from our mistakes and can do better next time.

Perseverance

Trading forex is a learned empirical skill.That implies that one learns by building on experiences, both good and bad, and , over time ,being able to discern the relevant from the non-relevant and trade accordingly. Making mistakes in judgement, execution, and application are a necessary condition enroute to becoming a profitable trader. The other important requirement is the ability to persevere in the face of repeated errors and by so doing, acquire the body of knowledge and experience you need.

I have been able to learn from the mistakes that I have made. I honestly think that while it is hard, I did put good work into the trading that I did. I mean the demo accounts that I did make, have been able to help me. There are times though that I had to admit that sometimes it was hard when I was losing money. The thing that I always had to tell myself is that we really can't tell what the market will be like. And that I can't expect to understand the Forex market, because nobody can explain it. Fundamentals work for long-term investing in stocks and futures, but with foreign exchange, it's all about movement here and now. You can profit from minute changes in currency prices, but don't expect to be able to explain their nature. The demo accounts that I used was from concordbay.com/en and I have to say that they worked out well for me. I think that I am in the place that I am now because of them. They are pretty much the best out there right now.

As a newbie we can not recognize what mistake we had made in trading that causes a loss. when we are able to analyze our performance then we know all this . I learned from my mistakes a lot . I was more careful and conscious it teach me how to plan my trading.

Of course I do learn from my own mistakes. I know how difficult it is to identify the trend or to generate consistent profits, but when I learn from my mistakes, I make the road of knowledge wider for me to stay longerr

I am trying to learn, but it's only time that will tell whether i have succeeded or not.
You have to practice at demo account at the same time to understand if you head in right direction.. You can also use small size real account to get used to emotions, learn money management, have fun.

I've made many mistakes and some end up being learning experiences. Anyway I've recently learned of the two biggest mistakes that traders make.

I got many lessons from previous mistakes, now always keep lower leverage less than 1:100, long term stable profit should be top objective.

A loss can happen to us at any time and we have to remember this that if we are wise enough then we would be able to control our losses and a time will come when we will get more profits easily :)

Yes indeed, loss can occur anytime because market forex very dynamic and sometime unpredictable, but of course as trader also need to prepare their risk in trading, often beginner make mistake they let order opened on loss floating without measure how much risk in single plan then eventually get margin call account.
