True that! As a beginner, there are certain steps that you need to follow in the forex market to increase your chances of success and avoid common pitfalls. Here are some of the steps that I found from my web searches:

• Educate yourself on the forex market and its basics. You should learn about the different currency pairs, how they are quoted, what affects their prices, how to read charts and indicators, and what are the main types of forex orders. You should also familiarize yourself with the forex terminology and jargon.
• Choose a reliable and regulated forex broker that suits your needs and preferences. You should look for a broker that offers low spreads and fees, a secure and user-friendly trading platform, a variety of trading tools and features, access to leverage and margin, good customer service and support, and a solid reputation in the industry.
• Create a trading plan and stick to it. A trading plan is a set of rules and guidelines that define your trading goals, risk tolerance, methodology, and evaluation criteria. A trading plan helps you to be disciplined, consistent, and objective in your trading decisions. It also helps you to avoid emotional or impulsive trading that can lead to losses.
• Analyze the market conditions and forecast the price movements. You should use both fundamental and technical analysis tools to study the market trends, patterns, signals, and news that affect the currency pairs you want to trade. You should also develop a trading strategy that matches your trading style, time frame, and risk-reward ratio.
• Manage your risk and money effectively. You should use appropriate leverage, position sizing, stop-losses, and take-profits to control your exposure and protect your profits. You should never risk more than you can afford to lose on any trade or account. You should also keep track of your performance and review your trades regularly to learn from your mistakes and successes.
• Of course, these are not the only steps or the definitive ones. Forex trading is a complex and dynamic activity that requires constant learning and improvement. You should always do your own research and analysis before making any trading decisions.

As a beginner in forex trading, you must first learn how to trade and then practise what you learn. Practice make perfection. As a beginner you'll record some loss and that's why some veteran advice beginner to take advantage of demo account to start trading before they go on to trade with real account.

I am also a beginner in forex trading, and I am going through training. I am trying to understand all the features in demo account before I invest my money. Though whenever I put money in demo account I win since I choose some currencies that meet with good profitability, but I don't know the outcome if I put real money to real account.

Someone who is a beginner in forex should try as much as possible not to be greedy and you should try to learn before trading. Developing a unique strategy is good as well.

It is better not to be too greedy because when you are greedy, it is going to affect your trading decision and you will not be able to make success as a trader.
