People actually don't know how important it is to wait for the right set-up, some traders think that the more you trade the more money you make which is very much unlikely, trading doesn't work like that, you might make a lot of money from 5 to 7 trades, and use just only one trade to lose everything including your initial magin.
But waiting for the right set-up gives you an edge in the market, when you trade only when you sees an opportunity, you will mostly comes out profitable, as long as you knows the craft a little, but probing the market every now and then will only make you lose money, because trading is more of patience and knowledge.
do you know one thing about trading you must do study the rules and the regulation of trading first before you can be able to make a profit as you may think,trading is a skill that you will learn and understand the procedures before you can be able to escape losses in Trading so many people who experience a huge loss in Trading is people that have not microscope or understand the basic routement of trading... it is obvious and understanding that the more you trade it is more you have more experience about trading and the more you loves interesting it is more you understand your fault and your loop holes, so an experience Trader who knows the fundamentals of threading who knows the key and the strategies to trade cannot lose a huge amount of money or cannot lose a profit that he or she made in two consecutive trade and the two consecutive profits in one trade....its a beginner of trader that is profits conscious can make such mistakes.

This will depend on the strategy that the trader is using. Traders that are using high leverage will see this a lot. Assuming a trader has $500 to trade, he can think of 10x leverage, thinking to earn $10 each from scaping. If the trade favors him, he will be winning $10 each. Let us say he has won 5 time which is $50. If he trade again the 6th time and the trade is not favoring him, he will think to leave the position open for a while and this might result in liquidation of the money used. But if using low leverage or no leverage at all, it can help against high risk trading.
it is obvious that the how you open your leverage in Trading or establish your trading is the way you'll get a loss and and also the way you get your profit, is perspective I think you are correct, but one thing that makes us to lose very huge in Trading is because of the way we strategize our threading and then what causes this is that when we have the greediness in US it is what makes us to lose more than the way we are supposed to lose our capital.. is obvious that the higher our expectation may be as Same of our risk in Trading.

You know it is easy to say wait for a good trade set up. Where the work is in being patient and it is the patience that beginners often lack. A friend went from taking a trading course to doing 5 live trades and guess what, he lost. Successful traders will only take one to three trades each day and they could even do less. I think that some trades are just not necessary, they just waste the trader's time which should have just been spent either doing nothing or engaging in some hobbies. Waiting for a good trade set is simply waiting or the right trading opportunities.
one of the philosophy of trading is that, before you benefit in Trading you must also experience a huge loss because it is based on your experience in Trading that to make you to understand trading movement anyone who is into trading is not wasting it time, it's what it deserves to do, and any you decide to do you most like to know the effects neither knowing the advantages first or the advantages, if you study trading very well you will not be experiencing a huge loss.
