Yes. Most traders lose their money because of their low knowledge.

@TraderHut I agree with your point that unplanned trading is one of the most common as well as the biggest mistakes made in trading. With unplanned trading, the chances of losses are high and hence very risky.

Yes. Over-trading can put you in great danger.

Revenge trading or over trading is undoubtedly one of the biggest trading mistakes. I have done it once and faced a huge loss. I learnt from my mistake and never ever repeated the same. Revenge trading is always to be avoided otherwise it can result in unbearable loss at times.

Common mistakes are those that we do again and again. Over trading, revenge trading, no money and risk management all are common mistakes.

@Alexthetrader Placing stop loss in the right place is not an easy task. One needs proper knowledge and experience of reading a chart to place stop loss.

One big mistake is to assume that anyone can make money from Forex trading. It just isn't true. Almost everyone loses money. Only the dedicated will prevale
Yes, only the dedicated persons are able to make profit from forex, It’s not everyone's cup of tea.

One of the few common mistake is not having a proper trading strategy which can result in bigger issue, if not taken care of.

As far as I concerned common mistakes in trading activity are usually made not only by novices but by professional traders too. Such mistakes include rushing decisions. Often traders make decisions whether open a position or not, according to their emotions, after a string of losses they've decided to win back what they had lost. It's so unprofessional to make such deisions however as far as I can tell it happens rather often. Never let emotions control you. It's like a postulate of trading activity, you know. You have to control them, not in reverse.

There are lot of common mistakes every trader do when they are new. I also did the same. Like opening trade position before big news events and after the news events. Opening too many lots is another mistakes. Risking more than 1% of the capital is also a mistake. Another big mistake is unrealistic expectation. We come here to make double, triple of our capital over night. But it's the biggest mistake one can have. We also make mistake in choosing broker.

Mistakes are clues to improve. At the same time, errors in calculations do not always lead to losses. The error can have a positive effect. In any case, they should be studied and used for development and for a deeper understanding of trade.
Do not be greedy and invest in your business as much as you can.

The simplest mistakes are opening positions at the stage of impulse completion, using narrow stop-losses during high volatility, news trading with increased volume, neglecting resistance and support levels.

So many ways to make a mistake in Forex but they all stem from the mistake of rushing into trading and not taking the time to learn and trade on demo

Using too large a Lot size. That has to be #1 mistake.

What are the most common mistakes made by beginner traders and experienced traders when trading with a real account?
Over trading, not using stop loss and most important not sticking to the risk reward ratio
