That's right! Unrealistic expectations can lead to huge disappointments for rookie forex traders. In fact I have heard of many people who think forex is a cakewalk and an instant gateway to big money. They have to understand that in here you can lose money just as easily and quickly as you make it. You can become a successful forex trader but with the right set of knowledge, skills, dedication and persistence. This field will knock you down many times but you should know how to get up stronger. It is very important to know the difference between positive attitude and overconfidence.Keep a positive but realistic and practical attitude.
