Over trading is another common mistake that day traders make.

 

I would add - mixing up demo and live trading

 

Big trading mistakes are as bellow :

1. Trading for excitement & thrill Not for profits.

2. Trading with a high ego.

3. Trading with money you can't afford to lose.

4. No Trading Plan

5. Spending profits before you make them.

Have to agree with this one. I know some people would prefer to keep it instead of cuttnig their losses because they think it will pounce back

 

The 7 can be summed up in one big point...

No proven, profitable Forex trading system.

If you don't have a consistent system for profiting from the Forex markets, you will lose money in the long run. Guaranteed.

Great point FXAutoTrader.

I know people who have lost a lot of money to start off with as they had successful demo accounts and then thinking it was the same lost loads on a live account.

MOST IMPORTANT is point 1...DO NOT TRADE WITH MONEY YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE

 

You also need to understand each individual person that you manage. For each is a unique person with their own differing personality. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses. A good manager will help develop the strengths and gently correct the weaknesses. Correcting the weakness is more difficult than developing the strength for you must correct this weakness almost unknowingly to the individual.
