Best thing, sit on your hands, and watch the markets open and then close .day in and day out.
and watch and learn how the traders paint the candles on your screen.
forget indicators, there all Lagging.

The most mistake often face I think is FOMO, fear of missing out, I am often trapped in such situations where actually I realize if the zone price is less good to open trades, but my mind cant stop desire to open trades, I just only talk to own selves, take a small risk no problem, but because it occurs many times, small risk even ends too big loss in accumulation.

Forget to apply SL and TP.
Moving onto live trading without spending enough time on demo.
At least 6 months on demo thats a minimum in my opinion

I concur. This is the way to do it. So many move to live account from the start and just lose all their money
Yes, demo first until you are making money there. No point going live if you can't beat a demo account

Most traders try to trade in this market without proper knowledge and skills.
The most basic mistake for a newcomer is keeping aside the learning process and chasing profits all the time. You will end up nowhere without a proper plan and a strategy to work fine for you. It will be a mistake to enter live trading without the basic knowledge, proper mental preparation, and enough practice on your demo account.

The basic and common mistake committed is that we enter trading with the mindset of earning money fast which is not at all true. Trading demands time more than money, skills and experience more than knowledge.

This is so true, I have noticed that some joined forex trading in hoping to earn money fast, which obviously is an unhealthy mindset to consider.

Funny this is so key, in a round about way you are gaining experience. I think experience is the biggest thing as you get a feel for the market and you have watched so many candles paint that you can anticipate with your techincal knowledge the probability of the trade coming out in your favour
Errors are normal for a trader. It is more important to control that the trader does an analysis of the mistakes made.

That’s true. Traders need to treat forex as a long-term business. You can’t expect to get huge profits in a single day. We need to allot time in learning before expecting something in return.

It really is in fact its a necessity in trading as we all should work from probabilities and lie within the range of the law of large numbers. If everyone normalised losses it would be so much better for all starting trading

What do you mean by normalizing losses? Do you mean accepting that losses happen?
