6 Reasons Why You Keep Losing In Trading (With Fixes)

Overtrading is the excessive buying or selling the trading market , also known as churning. In other words, having too many open positions or using to large/ small amount of money on a single trade.

There are no laws or regulations against overtrading for individual traders, but it can be damaging to your trading account.

Undertrading typically means there is little or no trading activity even when there are opportunities to trade.

The biggest cause of undertrading is the fear of losing that trade and losing money. But, if you don’t trade, you could miss out on making profit and building your confidence and account to trade.

Overtrading is caused when a trader doesn't stick to the trading plan and increases to much money on a trade which can lead to poor results.

Over trading is also caused by emotion such as ;

Excitement- traders can be tempted to take trades without reason when the markets are moving quickly.

Greed-when traders are winning trades and making profit, they want to make even more money.

Fear- some traders will overtrade to make up for their losses and try to win back the money they have lossed.

How many times have you had a winning streak of trades then lost alot of money on a trade because you risked to much on one trade.

Then how many times did you change your strategy because you didn't think it was working anymore.

These are very common problems most traders face and assume it's there strategy that is'nt working which can have big consequences.

But if you give it time using your strategy and dont give up.

And traders stick to their strategies just a little longer and not give up so quickly during times of difficulty, we’d probably see a lot more profitable traders.

During your winning streaks it is important to stick to your strategy and not get over confident.

Always stick to your rules and the same goes for losing trades, dont try to make up for losses with bigger risk to reward. And don't make any changes to your strategy.

New forex traders will trade the smaller time frame, like the 1 minute or 5 minute charts. Then will get fustrated because it doesn't fit their strategy.

For some traders they feel comfortable trading the 1 hour charts. This time frame is a little longer, but not to long and trade signals are fewer but not to few.

Trading on this time frame helps give more time to analyze the market and not feel so rushed.

The 15-minute chart gives enough time (but not too much) to make decisions based on your trading plan.

You have to trade the time frames that are suited to you and your trading plan.

Starting with a demo account can help you decide the different time frames to trade, which are best suited for you.

Without the stress and pressure of losing your real money.

Trading is easy to get into, you can just open an account and away you go. But new traders lack knowledge to succeed.

Another critical part of trading, is you need a strategy because if not you will lose money.

Good preparation is key.

Traders can have the best strategy in the world that is massively profitable, but without the correct preparation, it will set the trader up to lose in the long run.

You need the right mindset to become a good profitable trader.

If you let your emotions get in the way of your trading, then your setting yourself up to fail.

Before you even think about trading, try and gain as much knowledge as you can about the markets you are trading and any factors that may impact you.

Knowledge is power!

Backtesting is also good... so you can test your trading plan over hundreds of trades to see if your trading strategy is consistantly profitable.

To wrap this article up!
