The Smart Way to Lose a Forex Trade

Topics: The Disciplined Forex Trader, Trading Strategies, Trading Tips

We have seen over the years traders will trade without a stop loss for fear of a small loss.  When the market turns against them they let it run in the wrong direction rather than getting into the trade and trade with the move.  Their total focus is set on wishing the market would turn and come back for them.  Now the trade is several hundred pips against them and they can’t take it any longer so they close the trade and take a big loss and feel good that they did not lose more.

We all have to realize that a loss in trading is part of trading.  We need to put the advantage in our favor so we will win more than we lose and not fall in love with a trade that is losing and let it run.  When we take a trade we need to know where our stop loss is going to be then let the market tell us when to get out.

Once we have profit in a trade we need to concentrate on protecting the profit.  So it is best to protect profit rather than hope a loss will get smaller. The first loss is always the smallest and will give you better vision for the next trade.
