In trading forex, you can't win all the time. There will be times you have to accept that it's just not your luck.
So what do you do when you lose?
Do you run or quit? Do you revenge trade in order to make it all back in one trade? Do you call it a scam where all you are is liquidity for market makers?
There are many ways to deal with losses when you trade.
The first step, even before you enter a trade is to know and acknowledge that it may go against you, hence the need for stop loss and risk management techniques. This way, you stay safe mentally and financially even if you lose.
If the loss happens despite that, it's best to accept it and blame no one else. This will help you make logical decisions, find out what went wrong and how you can avoid it in the future.
