the greatest challenge I guess we all agree are emeotions, it really can mess up the planing and trade in general, the urge to change to TP to step out to even trade, its not easy, but doable, growing numb to loses can help, and becomes the norm. i guess the solution is experience.
it is really difficult to control emotions as a new Forex trader. so traders fail to maintain this trading habit.
Yes, most the big challenge for traders is how to control emotion, often Traders become emotional or angry because face losing trades, it could lead them to think about quick recovery, then rush in decision making and get out from rules trading, this often leads to loss over and over again. Sometimes traders need motivation, although not to become winners in a contest, if we can win to beat our own emotions, it's good progress.
Since forex is a 24-hour market, the biggest challenge for traders is to miss out on great trading opportunities. Another thing that I believe is difficult for traders, especially the new ones, is to discern the right entry and exit point in a trade.
The biggest challenge I have faced while trading in the forex market is managing my emotions. As easy it might sound, the human mind can be the biggest friend or enemy while trading. Maintaining calm and having a stable mindset is extremely important in order to avoid trading decisions driven by greed, fear and revenge.
Control emotion is indeed very important to keep trading performance in good quality trading, although emotion as human nature, we also have the power to control it, in trading control emotion is extremely important, because many bad experiences when trader working in emotion, all decision usually leading to failing.
As for me, the major challenge was to work out what to do with those charts and which deals to open. Perhaps, the vast majority of newbies face with such an issue which is just due to lack of knowledge. That was pretty devastating when I looked at the charts and had no idea what to do with that sort of information about the currency prices. Surely, I had some sort of basic understanding of levels, some simple trading strategies, but the thing is that the real market is different from those tutorials which explain how to use this or that trading strategy. The funniest thing is that while watching some video about trading, you have some sort of impression that you know what to do, but when you open your trading platform, things look absolutely different. However, with the passage of time and after gaining some trading experience I started to get used to such a status quo. The only thing you need to do is to keep on trading without loosing your motivation.
