Losing days are part of gold forex trading. Even the best traders lose. The difference is they accept it, stay disciplined, and keep moving forward.
Even the best traders lose. A 60% win rate is considered excellent. This means:
Out of 10 trades: 6 wins, 4 losses
Out of 100 trades: 60 wins, 40 losses
Even with a 60% win rate, you WILL have losing streaks.
Monday: Loss -£10
Tuesday: Loss -£10
Wednesday: Win +£20
Thursday: Loss -£10
Friday: Loss -£10
Weekly Result: -£20
This is a normal week. You had 1 win and 4 losses, but your win was bigger than your losses. You're still profitable long-term.
The key is that your wins are bigger than your losses (thanks to proper stop losses and take profits). Over time, this compounds into profit.
Losing is part of trading. Don't get emotional. Don't panic. It's normal and expected.
Did you follow your signal? Did you stick to your position size? Did you keep your stop loss? Learn from it.
Don't dwell on it. Don't revenge trade. Don't increase your position size to "make it back." Just move on to the next trade.
Keep following your plan. Keep your position size at 0.01 lots. Keep using stop losses. Discipline is what separates winners from losers.
Professional traders don't fear losses. They expect them. They've accepted that losing is part of trading. This removes emotion from the equation.
With proper stop losses and take profits, your wins are bigger than your losses. Over time, this math makes you profitable.
You don't need to win every trade. You just need to be consistent. Follow your plan, stick to your position size, and let the math work.
Don't focus on individual trades. Focus on your long-term performance. Over months and years, consistent trading builds real wealth.
Don't enter another trade immediately to "make back" your loss. Wait. Calm down. Only trade when you're thinking clearly.
Don't jump from 0.01 lots to 0.05 lots to "make it back faster." This is how accounts get blown up.
Don't move your stop loss further away to avoid taking a loss. This turns small losses into big ones.
Don't panic and close all your positions. Don't quit trading. Losing days are normal. Keep going.
