Here are some mistakes that can cause you to fail to 'trade for a living':

1. Unrealistic expectations.

These unrealistic targets will cause you to over-trade or take too high a risk to achieve it, which will eventually destroy your account. To get consistent results you must focus on the process in trading, not on the end result that you expect.

2. Trading by using funds for daily needs or loan funds.

Using funds for daily needs means that traders are required not to lose so that emotional involvement will be far greater than if using funds that are not used (disposable money). Not infrequently, traders who use loan funds or credit cards so mentally will add to the burden if it turns out to have a loss.

3. Insufficient knowledge and trading experience.

What traders often experience is too quickly switching to real accounts with insufficient knowledge and minimal trading experience. They think the experience and knowledge of trading will be learned on the fly, but in reality it is difficult to do because the focus of the trader's attention will ultimately be on how to make the biggest possible profit in a short time.

In my opinion, most traders who fail to trade for living are making unrealistic targets, so trading will be full of pressure and the results will definitely be a continuous loss. Lots who hopes with small capital but wants huge profits in a short time. So that it will actually create frustration and eventually the trading will fail

the third mistake you said, I strongly agree, especially in terms of capital, in my opinion, do not ever use your daily needs or even trade using a loan because it will cause severe depression when you become MC even though it is clear that forex is a high risk business sacrifice our lives.

I think only number 3 is the reason for failure trading. Because if you have enough knowledge and experience, you will not make unrealistic expectations.
Also you will use good money management so there will be no source of capital that is inappropriate.

in my opinion that makes a failure in trading is the desire for large profits in a very short time that will plunge us into a margin call

I agree with you
because if you stand with big ambitions it's not the advantage that we get to lose
because high targets require us to make a lot of profit

unrealistic expectation is the common problem, many people want to get rich with low amount of money, so they increased their lots, this is very bad for trading because our account will get blown easily. so i think traders need to fix their mindset before start to trade forex

great ambition must be followed by good quality abilities and sufficient capital. With this, our trading will not be burdened and can be comfortable in doing so even though we have big targets

right bro, and that applies to all beginner traders who are always looking for the perfect technique, so they tend to always move to the way they are entry, from one technique to another. So forget about learning money management and trading psychology.

I see a lot for beginners who are only looking for techniques that are really good and 100%

I think there is no perfect technique in forex
