When most people start trading, they do not put much thought into their trades. They will either buy or sell a currency pair (probably the EUR/USD) because they think they see a trend or maybe even because they put a moving average on the chart.

The trader that gets the small profit will feel invincible and likely base trades in the near future on the same reason as the first one. Of course they expect every trade to win. The trader whose position moves against them leaves their position open, stares at the their computer without blinking, and laments that they will get out if the market only goes back to break even.
