Cut your losses short and let your winners run, I know it's easier said than done, markets have a way of testing your emotions and make you vulnerable, often times we open our trading application with a clear mind, we go to our favorite pair and maybe we see a ranging market instead of plotting the charts and then closing it, we decide we'll milk the market even though clearly there isn't any setups.
If you want to be a profitable trader you have to be taking a high probability trade you shouldn't take a trade if you're not sure of what you're seeing or just because you want to prove yourself right, remember that market doesn't really care, it does what it wants and if that's the case why would you want to go against putting your money in line?
Practice risk management, don't just say it you have to embody it and be it, you should know how much you're risking per trade you can leave your take profit open and just ride the trend, but you need to know how much you'll lose in case it goes side ways.
These are some ways you can protect your capital and be profitable as a trader, get over the get rich quick mindset and start looking at trading as a business.
