Respect our losses
Have we ever respected our losses ??

The form of respect here does not mean we like the name loss, but at least we can be fair. Profit is grateful, Loss should also be grateful (luckily not Margin Call, right)

The form of honor is a stop loss to protect our account from total loss or the cool language of a Margin Call. that way we can become sincere. Avoid holding on to a loss position (how come you like to hold a floating loss position) because we have the reason HOPE AND POSSIBILITY that the situation will turn around, but we also cannot compromise the market ???

Advice Ed Seykota (brave cut-loss):
1. If you lose, immediately close your position,
2. If fortunately, let your profits move according to the trend,
3. If you cannot accept a small amount of loss, sooner or later you will experience a greater loss, (you must be brave cut-loss)
hello, thanks for the very good advice, but what often happens to me when I start this business in accordance with the story you say, hold the position of loss and until the margin cal, slowly learn to change for discipline and finally it has improved.

Indeed, in each transaction we have to put a stop stop to avoid margincall, I usually though I have installed stop losses I still cut so that my losses are not too large and my day's target loss must also be in every transaction because in forex we don't always profit

thankfully if that is the case, then you have started learning self-evaluation of various mistakes and you have already begun to succeed to get better, keep on going bro until it's perfect.

Yes, true. this is my experience when starting a trading business, but now I have left this way, if one is required to cut the los or stop loss according to what I have specified, it is very terrible if there is a margin call throughout my life, I now often recommend new starters trading to guard against this.

In essence, we must aggressively make decisions related to loss so that loss does not increase and disrupt our psychology.

if we know that the price is against our entry and we don't immediately make a decision to close the order, we need to question what our trading plant and trading system are, because we commit suicide in the market.

In essence, every trader must be able to accept losses that occur in his trading activities. Because in forex trading, not only profits will be obtained by traders, but traders also must be prepared to accept the risk of losses that will be faced. Therefore, traders must be able to always be grateful, both when experiencing losses and when they can make a profit. True as you say, it's better to lose but a little more than having a lot of losses. Because every loss that occurs as small as possible is very meaningful for traders if the trader has minimal capital. Therefore, it is appropriate for traders to respect or appreciate any losses suffered. So that from each experience these losses, traders can take valuable lessons to make evaluations and improve their trading capabilities.

Successful traders are traders who always want to evaluate themselves after experiencing losses and not looking for scapegoats by blaming the technique and the lack of capital in their trade.

That is true, traders should be able to take valuable lessons from each failure. Able to evaluate the results of his trading so that he knows where the error is, then fix it so that in the future do not repeat the same mistakes. But what happened in general, traders could not accept the mistake instead blaming the others.

We must respect losses because as long as we lose we will easily give up and lose our enthusiasm for trading so we must evaluate every mistake we do and cause losses.
