So you are probably curious why this is a fact? I still remember my first winning trades, but it was more luck than anything else. Like most beginners, I gained some profit, but it had nothing to do with knowledge. Statistics show that over 78% of all forex traders lose money and some quits trading. New traders especially struggle a lot to become profitable. This post to help new forex traders understand more about the pitfalls of forex trading.
To make it easy, these are the eight most important reasons why forex traders lose:

I lost money for a long time because I thought the same thing (I didn’t watch any webinar, and it probably wouldn’t make a difference).
