loses will happen one way or another, there is no such thing as a 100% winning rate, even at 99% (though impossible) remember there is still a 1% margin for loses, when you get that mind set and realize there is no avoiding loses no matter what then it becomes easier to generate a basic conclusion to live with a lose, better yet learn from a lose and let go. thats what i do, "Treat each trade like its your first" dont look back at loses.

I always handle the loss that I received. because I was always a cap on a loss. in fact, the loss is not a scary thing if we have implemented...

Although forex business as risky business but as trader still can use risk management to manage the risk in trading, because loss sometime inevitable and loss is part in trading, how to handle loss as trader might use stop loss or cut loss if likely their order against the trend.

I trade a lot to turn my loss into profit. It is the only way to earn more money and handle your losses.
if you previously experienced loss. then you should focus on recovering loss. but you do not change the volume of trade. continue to use the trading plan. only if this is the case, then you should find plenty of ways to restore the loss. only then enlarge profit gains.

Absolutely right, that's what I am trying to say, you need to trade more accurately and turn your losses into profits. You need to grab each and every opportunity which came across you and turn it in your favor.

to avoid the loss, it will require a good emotional trading. because the loss will make us think badly for revenge and open positions without good analysis.

Control emotion is good way to manage trading, many trader fail also because they can't control their emotion and having tendencies to become reckless trader with open trades without deep analysis and only tempted by movement

a glass of whisky or cognac can help to handle losses:) But the best way to handle losses is to be prepared for them... money comes, money leaves.. one day the loss will return into profit)

To cover up our losses, first we need to control our emotions and take break from market then trade with fresh mind so that we can have positive trading to earn profit with it.

Absolutely, one of the most important aspects of forex trading is to remain calm and do it with patience and not let your anger take over as you may face huge losses through one single bad trade.

Handling loss is not easy part in Forex trading, one need to focus on so many things like emotions, money management, risk management, etc.. A skill trader can easily do it with powerful mind.

The losses that we get from doing our trades can come down if we will make use of the stop losses in our trades and also know that not everyday we will have a trading opportunity with us.
