    When I was a newbie myself back then, the biggest challenge I faced was not having good emotion control when it comes to trading.

    Agree with AbbotAle and shadybee. Did a lot of stupid decisions back in the days. Experience, practice and about 3000 books later, it works out a lot better today :)

    There are several challenges a forex trader faces like overtrading, withdrawing too fast and the fear of missing out.

    getting good education.......

    i read my first book in 1994........after about 50 books in 13 years i found my HOLY BOOK.....then my work began.......

    now after finding my book it took another 13 years to develop a system to trade......a system is important to have ....if you do not have a system you tend to over trade.......money is made by over trading but, the only trouble is ,it is made by your broker...it would help me greatly if he could share HIS profits with me

    my broker sent me love and kisses every single hour for decades.

    the biggest problem was no one encouraged me not friends not family not parents........that is why i left trading many times in all the years

    Every beginner to forec face challenges when they try but don't understand the market well. Frustration may lead to loss. All you need to do is keep your mind calm and relax. Firstly take adequate knowledge about the trading pair then step into it. This will help you do analysis of your own mistakes, mark it and never repeat them. This is the best way to start.

    There aren't one that i can name because there are honestly many challenges that one has to face as a newbie. So the key is to work on the lows with constant hard work if one wants to be successful.

    I think consistency is one of my major challenges.
