I believe this is why it is so difficult for most people to succeed in trading over the longer term. All it takes for failure is to mess up in any "ONE" of the essential elements. Strategy, position sizing or emotions.

Imagine any of the following situations;

Tom has a good trading strategy or system and manages risk correctly with correct position sizing, but every time he gets into a winning trade he quickly closes the position because he is scared that it might reverse direction and turn into a loss. Every time he sees a profit in his trading account he just cannot help closing the trade.

Toms problem = psychology. (Failure to follow his system). Toms emotions get the better of him. He knows he is not following his system rules. Tom will not succeed in the long run because he is not capable of letting his profits grow. He needs the size of his profits to be larger than the size of his losses. With Toms current psychological problem he will probably not be able to manage the other side of the equation either - his protective stop loss orders.

Now consider Ken, He has practiced a lot of trading and can follow his system closely. It is a good maths oriented system. Ken has nerves of steel. Ken has made 100% profit in the last two months. He now attempts the 'BIG' trade. He risks 30% of his account on the next trade. Guess what happens? Yes...you guessed it!.....Its a losing trade.

What is Kens problem? Ans = position sizing and psychology. Ken risks too much on one sure trade because he is feeling invincible. Even if Ken was successful with the next five trades in a row, he would eventually bankrupt his account because he does not follow (or understand) correct position sizing. It is possible for any system to have an unexpected string of losses in a row.

Finally consider Janet, She has studied plenty of trading books, completed several courses and various other forex training. Her trading account is not going anywhere fast. She has some wins and then some losses and then more wins and then some more losses. She practices good position sizing and trades without emotion. She does everything just as she has been taught.

What is Janet's problem? Ans = Strategy / System. Janet needs to find a better trading system. Janet will make money trading but her results could be significantly better.

Notice, with Tom, Ken and Janet it only took one problem to stop them from achieving success as a trader. Out of all the hundreds of thousands of traders, how many would you think have mastered all the three elements of successful trading? System, position sizing and psychology?

You guessed it! About 5%

This shows the importance of getting all your forex training and education right.
