No, 90% of traders lose money is because they do not know what they’re doing. They do not understand the lot sizes, do not use stop loss, over-leverage, and enter trades blindly. I was so used to trading standard lots on my demo. Then when I was trading live, I forgot to lowered the lot size to mini lot and I got margin called. Instead of trading with 0.1 lot, I traded with 1.0 lot. The funny thing is, like other failed traders, I blamed my broker. I then studied the market, practiced, be very careful when I enter trades, and protect my capital on each and every trade. I’ve been profitable ever since.
Questions: After checking your log, I see that you closed three STANDARD LOT SIZE trades with positive P/L two (2) to four (4) minutes before entering the two trades that you’re complaining about. How come you did not complain to your broker about your positive trades? They were in standard lot size. Second question, how come there were not stop loss entered in any of your trades? Why let your account becomes margin called?
