Hello All people from all around the world

i wanna ask some question, because this is happening on me lately
i was buying gbpusd and eurousd, after i buying a few moment later
it drop like hell, i was holding that trade for a week and still in loss posisition
the yesterday i finaly cut the loss, its pretty much eat my balance account

now i wanna ask to you guys, are you buying gbp and euro when drop like hell, same as me
or youve been in the condition like me, holding loss posisition for more than a week

the question is, what are you doing in this condition?, holding a losing trade
Its happen to me sometimes, when jpy is going strong against usd, i hold it for a week until i decide to cut loss. Maybe it is my fault not using stop loss because at that time i was so sure that usd will strong so i decide to buy, well that was a mistake.

Good morning, sir. I have also held minus floating from the GBPUSD and EuroUsd currency pairs, more than 3 weeks, sir. The reason I hold floating minus is that the capital resilience is still sufficient and the price will definitely come back (history will repeat itself). After 3 weeks I was floating, it turned out that my return and floating prices were a plus and I got a decent profit. From my trading experience, there must be a technical improvement in the trade pack. The point is that the techniques that are in line with our capital resilience include determining the TP and SL sir. thank you

I chose to cut if the lot I used did not match the margin level. If I keep it for weeks for sure what happens is a margin call, I don't want something like that. Better cutloss, if you know the direction on the market please keep maintaining the loss.

what do you mean by the events of January? 
I am thankful to be able to profit a lot when I got a profit of 100 pips in 10 minutes ... 
but I was afraid that at that time the spread had reached 150 pips ;D ;D ;D ;D

if there is news that has a big impact, the spread is very wide, maybe you can use the fix spread so that the spread does not widen.

when in a position minus position I prefer to use the stop stop to anticipate and if it has been used los stop it will definitely feel calm because the loss has been limited by the stop los, and if holding losses it could be if we analyze the market will immediately turn around, but if what I do if it is a minus position like that I will install a stop to overcome the overall loss and this is one of the ways of a trading plan or money management system and must be implemented to train mentally in the discipline

I will calculate my margin resistance, and if it is able to withstand my analysis limit I will hold or my second plan will be hedged

right 2/3 days ago, I lost the AUDUSD pair with an entry buy, which turned out to be bearish long, psychology was out of order, then I cut it, and started trading again with notes to keep the analysis as sure as possible so that there will be no false analysts.

Last week it was clear that the GBP / USD trend was bearish why did you take a big risk with a counter trend, preferably if a counter trend is allowed to take corrections but SL should be placed quite tight because trading against risk trends is also large, better we just follow the trend, our tap is only a small trader who can't move the market price like a big trader.

hello sir malik
if you may think I prefer cutloss than hedging
kenepa

with cutloss our psychology will return to normal
different if we are already ploating minus and we are hedging
then the possibility is 2
1. Margin call
2. BEP

and for hedging also requires a fairly large balance
because the purpose of hedging is to eliminate loss
so when we sell 0.02 and ploating minus 2 $
then we will hedge 2 or 3 times from lot sell entries
0.04 or 0.06 buy

in the hope that it will anoint loss
minimum BEP

if you do a sale or a purchase, always install StopLos, indeed sometimes people out there think StopLos is not important, but stop loss is part of the success too, don't wait for your capital to run out, take attitude, because to be successful in forex someone says that mastering knowledge is only 20% and 80% is attitude, hopefully this can make you able to make the best decisions for you. thank you

to reduce the minus position is indeed easy and the difficult thing is to do a cut loss.

Don't like to stop floating too long because it's dangerous.

hold the floating position too long is at risk of being exposed to the MC.
