I think one of the biggest mistakes new traders make is the never ending search for holy grail in Forex. they will be trapped in get rich quich scams and spend a lot of money just to find a good strategy. They try different indicator combinations, spend time backtesting, read books but their search never ends. all they must do is to begin understanding market moves deeply and trade. in order to learn walking you have to walk, as simple as that. you'll never walk by reading books about walking or hearing other people's opinions about it. the sooner you start trading (and I don't mean start live trading right away), the sooner you get closer to your goals.
