What's the most you lost by trading?

From what I read, the percentage of people who lose in Forex is pretty high. Some lose little money, some more. The secret I assume is to learn from it and recover. What's the most you lost in Forex?

If you mean the biggest loss in a single trade then that's about $200 for me.

Losses are definitely part of Forex. You cannot trade and expect to never lose. I guess you could call it the price of doing business. The most I've lost in a given month was about $750.

Hi,
the most money i have lost in single day is around 5 000$, it was based on whole week, because i was under big presure and at the end my psychic fall down and i went all in, which was fatal mistake!

On another hand it was one of the best school of trading for me, it was from my begining and once i want to risk too much, i remember that day and don't do it

Wow! $5,000 is a lot to lose for single day! How did you recover psychologically from such a big loss? Did you have take a long rest from Forex at that point?

This is really big amount. However, while doing business one should be mentally prepared for loss. Loss is part of business and doesn't mean that one can careless but should be smart enough to instruct his mind and recover from loss.

115$ for one day. It's not a lot money, but it was enough to close the meta-trader for two days.
