As the Aphorism goes, cut your losses and let your winners run, this is basically what everyone is saying, but how can you use this to your advantage, what those cut your losses means and how can you implement it personally, cutting loss depends on how strong your psychology is.

For example, if you're in a trade and it starts going against you, you should instantly get out, do not be allowing price to hit your stop loss before you exit, most times you immediately notice if trade is not going in your direction, and that's basically what cut your losses short means.

My friend tells me to cut losses in forex trading, by setting clear stop-loss orders based on risk tolerance and market analysis. I should create a risk-reward ratio for each trade, and make sure potential gains justify potential losses. Regularly checking market conditions and adjusting stop-loss levels accordingly. I should diversify my portfolio to mitigate risk. Emotional decision-making should be avoided; stick to a well-defined trading plan. Continuous learning and staying informed about market trends are crucial. If a trade is consistently unprofitable, consider closing it to prevent further losses. Effective risk management is fundamental to long-term success in forex trading.
