Is Psychology the Number One Trader's Problem in Forex?

[moonchild]

There seems to be a lot of emphasis on trading psychology because most people think their problem in trading ranges from their inability to control their emotions but after reading a book by Dr Brett Steenbarger, I realise that it isn't like that, there are traders that just don not have the skills to succeed in trading.

So before turning and blaming trading psychology in trading it is very important to understand the nature of your problem if it is not trading skills, if it is, then you are better off fixing it instead turning towards psychology and blaming it on it
