I also used to often do that where I held a loss. I used to remember holding open long positions on EURUSD but EURUSD kept moving down so I made a margin call.

Holding a losing position it will make you unable to see how important it is to maintain good risk management that you should use because when you don't understand. How risk management then you will be difficult

Holding the losing position will make you even more erratic in your brain because you will be confused. Are you going to win or lose so you shouldn't hold too much in a bad position.

Holding on to that losing position won't make you any better. So don't let you do things like that over and over again because it will make you unable to get up

if you have small funds you should not hold a losing position but if you have large funds to be able to withstand 2000 pips of market movement then there is no problem holding a losing position

retaining the Open position which at that time was indeed a difficult thing because when you like it like that, you will not be able to win

Holding a losing position in my opinion is not good because when you are always like that, then I am sure your money will not increase.

In my opinion the loss is that we are experiencing in trading plan, it is very reasonable, but many of us hold loss positions even though it's more than 50%, this is certainly not good

holding a losing position is indeed important to make changes because holding a position is not good at all and not profitable at all can not ensure that your position remains safe

Plotting loss is actually a part of forex trading that we can't avoid, but if the plotting loss is too much and we don't dare to close, of course this is not good for our trading psychology.

holding a position at that time will make you unable to concentrate so it's better you don't have to win a losing position

It's better to first look at the trading system that we use, if it's trading with a swing style, I don't think it's a problem for us to hold back plotting losses for a long time, as long as it's still in the trading plan.

in my opinion, holding the position that loss will be very disturbing our psychology therefore don't do it you'd better cut loss just more comfortable and safe

Holding a losing position in the world of foreign exchange is okay in my opinion, but not too much because when you have too much minus it will hinder your development.
