Forex traders can face several frustrations including:

1. Volatility and market unpredictability
2. Lack of discipline and control over emotions
3. Spreads and commissions
4. Slippage and requotes
5. Technical failures and platform glitches
6. Limited availability of some currency pairs
7. Regulatory changes and restrictions
8. Difficulty in determining the true market sentiment
9. Lack of proper risk management
10. Information overload and difficulty in separating signal from noise.

Most Frustrating stuff are the Downswings, or basically sessions that make you lose a lot. The most dangerous situation is when you are STILL on an active session of trading and all your open trades are losing.

Don't pay attention to those.
